First Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 scan

Arnon5988d ago

Wow I... didn't see that coming. What were the sales of Ultimate Ninja Storm?

Yi-Long5988d ago

... played the demo for the first game a bunch of times, and really liked it, but the game seems to have been taken off the market or something, cause it's pretty hard to find, or still too expensive for a year-old game.

You would think this game (1st part) would receive some kinda platinum release, with the DLC included...

ABizzel15988d ago

Huge blow to the PS3. This was one of the best fighters this gen (mainly because big name franchises have all been slight disappointments. This was the only exclusive PS3 fighter, now Sony has none.

@1.1

It sold over 700k which isn't bad. But the weird thing is it did the worst in Japan, not even 100k there.

Going to 360 will probably double sales which is probably the reason they're going multiplat this time.

Hopefully they make it 3 on 3 tag matches like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 this time, instead of just using assist characters. And add online, and more characters and powers, and I'm sold (The first Naruto game I bought, it's that good).

Christopher5988d ago (Edited 5988d ago )

Blah, nevermind. Reading skills before coffee < reading skill at all other times.

As far as manga vs anime, Shippuden has been doing pretty well as an anime in following the manga very closely. I'm happy either way.

Baka-akaB5988d ago

@abizzel

It's also because it's was a prettier Narutimate Hero but with less content , while the ps2 and psp series were still going strongly and up to date with the anime .

As for your second point , hum i dont know , i dont like the idea .
Naruto UNJ was already a little chaotic , hell the whole serie lost a bit of it's complexity (yeah i know it was the deepest fighting game but still) the moment it added support and strikers .

Between the obvious imbalances issues and spam , it made it even more of a button masher . At least Ninja storm with it's addition of 3d made it possible to avoid most of the crap thrown at you buy multiple foes .

I say keep it that way , but with every moves the ps2 and psp series already had + new ones , all current characters possibles , and obvious a good online .

GameGambits5988d ago

I wonder how much of Shippuden this will cover.

All the first game lacked was a competitive online mode. If they take the initiative to make it as well rounded as Blazblues net code, but add in a variety of ways to fight it'll be awesome. I'd like to do competitive 2v2 or 3v3 with buddies online against another team of 3.

The game also had really good mini games for the quests which could also translate well into the online to compete against each other. Really all the second one needs to do is cut down on the repetitiveness of the quests and add online fighting to be an outstanding success.

I wonder if they'll be able to squeeze out the same graphical prowess on the 360 as they did with the first one using only the PS3. If they can it's a real slap to Ubisofts face, because their Naruto games on the 360 look like crap lol.

Simon_Brezhnev5988d ago (Edited 5988d ago )

I know i wanna play as Pain/Pein but seriously this is good news. I dont mind this game going multiplatform i mean most teens like Naruto and thats majority of 360 audience.

WildArmed5988d ago

YAY!
Loved the first one.
Glad to see there is a sequel on the way

Arnon5988d ago

Knowing past Naruto games, we probably wont get up to Pein. Also, those are pretty shocking sales for Japan. Game sounds like it overall did pretty well, though. I own the first one, and... I'm basically the only one I know that owns it :/

rockleex5988d ago

Please make it happen!!! >_<

Hopefully The PS3 version isnt gimped.

menoyou5988d ago

OH GOD YES!!!!!! If they just focus on online multiplayer it will be a winner. This is what was lacking in the first one. I really hope the PS3 version isn't gimped because of the 360 version either.

Delta5988d ago

Sweet. i like the first one.

Alan Wake5988d ago

PS3 losse another exclusive heheheheehheheh

Optical_Matrix5988d ago

How can we lose an exclusive when it was announced multiplat in the first place.

NotSoSilentBob5988d ago

CyberConnect2 has the rights to playstation 3 development of Naruto Games. Actually it is the Sony Playstation BRAND. Ubisoft has the rights to make it on the 360 so this is a misprint pure plain and simple. If you disagree with it Go to there website and look under the fan FAQ for Naruto UNS and you will see that someone asked This game looks Great will it come to the 360?

and their reply is No it will stay Playstation Exclusive as Ubisoft are the publishers for Naruto games on Microsoft's Console.

Myst5988d ago (Edited 5988d ago )

It better follow the manga, but seeing as it will be released over here it will more than likely follow the anime.

Blaze9295988d ago

I wish it'd follow the manga :(

ExgamerLegends25988d ago (Edited 5988d ago )

with all the past misprints about game platforms in the past it's the safest bet.

on a side note i screamed like a girl when i saw the headline.

NotSoSilentBob5988d ago

I agree with you for the fact that on Naruto UNS CyberConnect/Namco Bandai said they only have the rights to Develop Naruto games on the Playstation consoles while Ubisoft had the Xbox rights.

Optical_Matrix5988d ago

Best news all week :D Really can't wait. About it going multi, I'm too much of a NARUTO fan to even care. So glad the game is coming. Wondering how far into the series it will go though...

ExgamerLegends25988d ago

up to where they find sasuke.

Baka-akaB5988d ago

I dont care if it's multi , i just know Cyberconnect 2 makes the only naruto games worth playing . In both graphics and gameplay

Dannycr5988d ago

Indeed no one makes Naruto Games like Cyberconnect.

UNS was awesome naruto game, specially Boss Fights with Bunta Vs Manda and Bunta and Naruto Vs Gaara.

Add this to my most wanted list of 2010. 25 games according to my list.

Baka-akaB5988d ago

Hell i'll even say i'm happy if it's multi , i wouldnt wish anyone to only have access to Ubi soft's mediocre naruto games .

Optical_Matrix5988d ago

God those games were a disgrace to the franchise imo. The awful animations and pathetically lifeless character models did it for me. As well as the combat, which didn't feel like a Naruto game at all.

Reply Agree 1 Disagree 1

ExgamerLegends25988d ago

hope i get to use amaterasu and kakashi's sharingan watevr he calls it.

Baka-akaB5988d ago

it also had a bunch of silly quest that made those games looks like a Mario Party . And when i'm saying that i'm insulting Mario party .. at least it was it's purpose to be a succession of mini games and it does it well .

"Ubi's Narootoo" have the galls to call itself a rpg even .
I know that ultimate ninja storm's , and past ps2 narutimate heroes's campaign mode arent awesome ... but they did their job as an EXTRA to a FIGHTING game .

I see no excuse for ubi's games , who fails at fighting game mechanics , fails as a rpg , fails at reproducing the look and design of the franchise and fails at animations .

devilhunterx5988d ago

Now the xbots can even play the best version of Naruto!

Major_kenny5988d ago

This should have remained a ps3 exclusive

Hidden Star5988d ago

not exclusive anymore? I swear the gfx better not be a downgrade from the 1st game.

Reply Agree 2 Disagree 0

Baka-akaB5988d ago

no way , we ps3 owners shouldnt care anyway . the ps3 was the lead machine and should remain so .

We knew the engine would be mmilked and only a bit improved rather than entirely revamped . And it was unlikely that Ninja storm was only possible on ps3 .

Hell it didnt use the space , given the lack of characters and special moves or online .

yeah I guess you're right. I'm defintely buying this. =]

Doesnt Ubisoft publish naruto games on the 360 and CC publish games on the PS3 and the Wii had tomy games

LittleBigSackBoy5988d ago

Day 1. Hopefully it has Chidori Senbon/Nagashi. I would have gotten 100% on the first one but there was no point. But this one will have trophies :D.

crxss5988d ago

me and my buddies still play Storm 1 religiously whenever we're home during breaks. this is a dream CC THANK YOU! lets pray this'll have online play. this game will be AMAZING if it has Naruto sage mode, Pain, and Sasuke mangekyo mode... can't wait!

Coolmanrico5988d ago

but is anyone besides me hopeing for a Bleach console game, similar to Dark Souls.

Baka-akaB5988d ago

Only if it's bleach heat the soul , the game on psp finally coming on home consoles .

Sigh5988d ago

I really wish they would make Bleach games for next gen consoles too, I love Bleach!

NotSoSilentBob5988d ago

It will only be for the PS3. Cyber Connect/Namco Bandai only have rights to make Naruto Games for the Playstation Line. Ubisoft have it for the 360.

Lex Luthor5988d ago

Wow! did not see that coming. had the first on PS3 which was an okay game. Single player sucked balls though.

Dannycr5988d ago (Edited 5988d ago )

It will probably finish with Sasuke Vs Itachi.

Spoilers ALERT, don't read this if you watch the anime and don't want to know what's next

No naruto game follows the Manga, but if this one does... DAAAMN, we will have some epic characters (Killerbee, all the current kages and their 2 bodyguards, Naruto's Sage Mode, Pain, etc, etc).

I cannot even begin to imagine a Naruto Sage Mode special or finishing move or watching Sasuke use Susanoo and Amaterasu... Or the Boss Fight between Naruto and Pain in the hole that is Konoha now.

Ashriel5988d ago

It will most likely follow the anime :(

You made me realise how epic would it have been if the game followed the manga... but we can still wait for the anime to catch up :)

bigjclassic5988d ago

Tag battles are needed for this game. Oh well, glad I got the Wii version.

Optical_Matrix5988d ago

People stop complaining about the game going multi. Cyberconnect had no control over this. Namco Bandai are the publishers of the game and not only have the rights to the IP, but they're the actual ones with the liscence to sell Naruto games on Playstation platforms. It was more than likely their decision.

snakebite365988d ago

I love Naruto, but I would like a One Piece version of this game even more.

Eamon5988d ago

I completely agree. They need to make a One Piece fighter!!!!

Eamon5988d ago (Edited 5988d ago )

I doubt this will be as far ahead as the anime in Japan let alone the manga. It's most probably going to be set where the anime in US is currently set.

Hopefully I'm wrong. I want to kick a55 as evil Sasuke.

Ashriel5988d ago

F*CK YEAH!

I played the UNS demo and really liked it. I'm glad it's going multi :

Sigh5988d ago

that just shows their own Naruto games were Sh^t, which they really were compared to CyberConnect's Naruto.
