Ubisoft’s take on Naruto

By Spencer . May 3, 2007 . 4:59pm

Viz Media worked out a deal to grant the Naruto license with Ubisoft and they are currently working on a “next-gen” Naruto title. Details on the Naruto 360 have been scarce, but Deeko News pointed us to an article on a Jeuxactu (note: in French) that has an exclusive screenshot of Ubisoft Montreal’s project. It’s hard to tell much from a single screenshot, that isn’t even action oriented, but the plastic cel-shading looks nice.

That screenshot looks REALLY good. Its not the first screenshot we've seen though. There was another screenshot in the past showing a mini-game featuring the tree-climbing exercise and it was interesting to note that it looked like it operated exactly like the tree-climbing minigames in the Narutimate Hero 3 series.

I hope the game is huge. Maybe sandbox style. Go anywhere, but abandon village and get a star and the ANBU(Police) come after you.

No way, but still.

Screen looks cool

I wouldn't say it's exclusive. Check the May 2007 issue of Play Magazine. They've got 4 screen shots and paragraph write-up of the game on page 42 of the issue.

I'm very curious about how well Ubi is going to interpret the license. Just on visuals alone they've stepped it up a notch, so if gameplay delivers as well, I'll be damned if Naruto 360 won't be the first anime licensed game I'm drooling over.

The screens also look insanely beautiful, and I hope some video drops sooner rather than later.

Looks nice but single static shots may be misleading. You know Photoshop powaaa make up ;) Can't wait to see this game in action, some vids maybe ?
