Naruto Shippuden: Super Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations

[Akiyama]

Gotta admit the PSP trailer looks more interesting.

Agree that the first one just looks like UNS2 (which was already a nice looking game). Aside from Raikage, the only other thing that the trailer showed me was that ZABUZA SWORD CANNOT BE BEAT.

well it can't :<

Give me more genius ideas like how Pain was executed in UNS and I'll buy this sequel in a heartbeat. The game was beautiful, had a great soundtrack, had smooth fighting gameplay and had some seriously awesome combat ideas for some of the characters (throws, ect.). All they need to do, I think, is focus less on running around a world map and focus more on making a complete fighter with depth. Anytime a "child-like" title like the Smash series can become hardcore through depth, there's no reason why Anime fighters cannot. I'd love to see Naruto and DBZ titles light it up and garner a true following.

If only JoJo were more popular in the west...

[Lucavi]

Jojo is a sick game. Shit's hilarious.

[Charismatic]

Agreed, that said... I would certainly love for a Naruto game of this series to have the type of community that other 'more serious' fighting games have earned over the years.
I can't help but think it'd need to take a new direction for that to happen even though I enjoy the UNS games.

[Kyo]

I'll be buying as well, but god damn long title is long.

French demo of Impact is out. Menus are in French but everything else in Japanese. It's basically DW Naruto on psp.

Same controls as Ninja Storm 2.

Dynasty Warriors: Naruto, you say? I could get into that.

[Odin'sLaw]

so played this at hyper japan Raikage is a fucking boss chakra > punch = elbow blow chakra x2 > punch = liger bomb he throws you then power bombs you he's very cool to play but he's very slow (yeah they broke his speed in this game)

edit: Sasuke gets his bone armor under 50% hp instead of dragon fire he now has inferno fire

[WahiGuard]

I never paid any attention to the Naruto games, but that does looks pretty good. Would you guys recommend any of the earlier titles?

[Akiyama]

The one before it.. Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 for the PS3 was pretty good.

[Odin'sLaw]

the demo at Hyper Japan only let you do vs mode sasuke naruto and raikage so its nice to see other characters and the psp vs is looking pretty good

[samalis]

I haven't played one of these games before is there a option for jpn voices? I heard some bad stuff about the eng dub of Naruto.

[Tobi]

Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is only Naruto game I've played and it had the option to use JP voices.

[Kobb]

So it comes with an anime dvd with akatsuki background info?

[Rokku]

So it comes with an anime dvd with akatsuki background info?

My understanding was it's cutscenes woven into the actual game itself between fights and whatnot.

[Kaelan?]

Both of the Ultimate Ninja Storm games by CyberConnect2 had dual EN/JP audio, so this one will probably have that as well

Edit:
So apparently there's a substitute bar of sorts to limit how often you can get out of people's combos. Four still seems too much to me, given that it recharges (I'd rather have 4 total per match, so you'd actually have to be smart about using them, or make them start at 0 and build as you attack like MK combo breakers), but eh, it's progress.

[Tobi]

First and Second Hokage confirmed to be playable now.
