IGN writes: "The folks over at CyberConnect2 have been working on Naruto-related games for quite some time now, including the more recent Ultimate Ninja Heroes titles on the PSP. But in just a few months time, the developer will be releasing Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm on the PS3 -- a straight-forward fighting game and Naruto's triumphant debut on Sony's current-gen console. In case you haven't caught our previous coverage of the game, Ultimate Ninja Storm is looking fantastic and could be one of the best Naruto games ever produced. I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with some representatives from Namco Bandai (the game's publisher) in order to learn more about Ultimate Mission Mode, an option previously unavailable for our perusal. I also bore witness to one of the game's later boss battles and I enjoyed some hands-on time with a few newer characters. The result, as you might expect: more crazy ninja antics."
There's nothing quite like flying in DBZ: Kakarot or Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm's battles.
That's also the problem. They are decent but never truly ambitious in challenging the powerhouses of any genre whether RPG or fighting.
Completely agree. Their games never quite reach that high point. They have potential but it's like they hold themselves back.
They do seem to have taken a safe route with the new Demon Slayer game though, which has no demons to slay (???) and is very similar to Ninja Storm.
I mean, ArcSys makes better anime games in Guilty Gear and FighterZ, so this argument fell on its face quick.
Those are both fighting games based off of an anime. Naruto storm, my hero one justice, that shitty one punch man game, etc are the games the writer is talking about Im sure
I like the games they work on and how they recreate the feel of the anime. They are masters of that imo but the gameplay is usually basic and doesn't ever try anything new. It's mostly the same over and over.
So that basically only ever makes it a good game with lots of potential to be a great game.
CC2 has a lot of potential. Theyre amazing when it comes to spectacle. Naruto storm looked great and asuras was amazing cinematic wise, but theyre gameplay needs so much improvement. Its so damn basic. Its like they hold themselves back. I remember the reveal trailer for asuras wrath having body slams, and suplexes, dragging enemies across the ground etc. And for some weird reason all of that was removed for gameplay that was hardly anything more than mashing the circle button.
And its even more frustrating cuz theyve done how many storm games now. Youd think they wouldve managed ti improve but tis like theyre not even trying. Idk man. I just feel like a dev like them shouldve been way bigger by now
Nevada Dru from Bits & Pieces finally got into Naruto and works his way through the Ulimate Ninja Storm series, starting at the begining.
A fun and creative spin on an inexpensive meal! Inspired by the video game series Naruto Ninja Storm.

This is a must-buy for me and my first Naruto game.
