A peek at Naruto: Rise of a Ninja’s downloadable content

narutoron.jpgIf you picked up Naruto: Rise of a Ninja you might be scratching your head wondering where is the Japanese voice track. It’s coming as Xbox Live downloadable content in the future. Don’t worry, this is a freebie.

 

Also Ubisoft is planning to add in additional playable characters as downloads to Rise of a Ninja. However, it is unknown which characters will join the meager eleven character roster and at what price.

Aoshi00 Says:

Awesome, will pick up this game during the holiday. So for the Jpn audio, merely switching the 360’s language setting doesn’t work, like some other games?

Spencer Says:

@Aoshi00 - Good question, but I don’t think so since it sounds like the voices aren’t actually on the disc. Since they’re free anyways you’ll be able to listen to Naruto as performed by Junko Takeuchi :)

Aoshi00 Says:

It’s nice they include that addition. This game looks too good w/ you being able to roam around the village, the true next gen graphics is a sight to behold. I was only borderline on the dialogue and now they have me sold. Way to go Ubisoft!

RiceBoi Says:

Thank god. I will pick up the game after the voice tracks are made available then.

Person Says:

Shikamaru should be one of the characters added definitly. They should also think about putting the third hokage, itachi, choji, and maybe ino maybe.

fra Says:

hey um i found out its shika so 12 people kinda boring

narutorocks Says:

like the person says they should be more downloudeble characters.shikamaru is good but add itachi to it.

raydaman Says:

shikamaru is a denfite
itachi too
and the third
they should also add the sound 5 kimmiro and all

kimimaro Says:

they should make the curse seal more indepth instead of it being onnly a this b4 sasuke is goin to die and yes they should definently include kimimaro evn though he comes into the show way after ep 80 they should also add kankurio and temari

kimimaro Says:

oh yer and add guy sensai with kurenai

Silence_hammer Says:

they should just work on finishing off the teams…so for example..i would like to see Kankuro and Temari, Ten-Ten and Gai, and Hinata, Shino, and Kurenai, oh and choji and ino and asuma…lol…just make the basic teams and thier cell leader…and also…why cant we play as Jiraya? he is in the story mode! i mean come on….

Silence_hammer Says:

mel Says:

Dudey locks Says:

Third is now downloadable (my english sux) and jyria too so there pretty cool. not just up Y XX attacks.

akira205 Says:

I believe that this is a great start for naruto on the xbox 360. Meaning I hope that Ubisoft will blossom this game into a franchise.

kimimaro Says:

dudey locks ur a wanker u cant get the 3rd or jiraiya yet i went on lst nite to see and u cant

OratunZo Says:

They should add the sound ninja that were in the chunin exams

narutofan Says:

all i know is that Shikamaru,Sautobi,Jiraiya and Temari r in. But i think you haf 2 pay 4 Jiraiya n Sarutobi. But u can get Jiraiya n Sarutobi 4 trial but u only can use them 4 3
times. temari n shikamaru u juz need 2 link to an ubisoft account.

huhh question Says:

does anyone know if kankuro is gonna be in it

fourth unsealed naruto Says:

they should have made the game longer way too short now theres nothing to do and the jutsus could have been alot better. seems like the people that made this game were rushing and everyone shouldnt have a rage mode but i really wanted to use the rasegan and play in shippuuden

Otokura Says:

There is definitely Shikamaru, Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Choji and Temari. Shikamaru can be gotten from the ‘exclusive content section in the main game menu (Free). Sarutobi and Jiraiya come with 2 new arenas which you get from the xbox marketplace in downloadable content (500 or 600pts I think). Also in the downloadable content is the free Japanese voices. Temari and Choji are definitely gonna be out but I’m not sure when nor do I know how. Either way they aren’t out yet, give it 2 more weeks at the most. Btw ‘fourth sealed naruto’…rage mode is actually a big help to most ppl so it’s only fair o have it on all characters. And true it’s a bummer about the rasengan but that came in after Naruto fought Gaara and is in the recovering Sasuke arc. It should definitely be in ROAN 2 if there is one.

Kusinawa Says:

This was a great game, it was just lacking ALOT, i.e. that being the jutsus, the characters, and the overall length of where the story stopped. Limits on a video game are understandable, if only to add a bit of a challenge to it, but it should have been that as you used the abilities and techniques you would have been able to eventually use them easier, and even master them(i.e. walking(erm skipping) over water and walking on vertical surfaces(well more of a clumsy run). All characters should have had at least been playable in their own storylines (naruto may be the main character, but what helped make naruto so great as an overall was that each character was developed with a past, present struggle, and a future, this is what made many ppl identify with and develop a favorite character or hate one or a few in particular hell even Kimimaru was given a story, and he died a few episodes afta he was introduced). A blind person could see that the jutsus were lacking as far as most of the characters had two (an attack justu and a support one basically, and for some it was just chakra concentration). Lastly for this synopsis of this game, the show is long as all HELL, it has two seasons that spans over the length of damn near four hundred episodes, that happen to be growing in length as its based on the manga and i havent seen an end in sight yet) it had arcs that easily spanned 15+ episodes which is longer than some animes have even touched, and could easily rival inuyasha or the entirety of the dragonball saga (the first, Z and GT not to mention AF is being developed right now which doesnt look half bad) the game could have stood to be a little longer. In conclusion Ubisoft did a great job with the game, which wasnt the “ultimate” game they put it out to be, but it could be said that they have laid the ultimate blueprint for the years(and i do mean years, seriously, this anime is long as hell fo real american fans who just watch toonami for their anime probably would have kids before its all ova wit and ya wont be half way thru tha series ya digg ) to come, and have set the marketplace, retail stores where xbox live point cards are sold, Xbox in general up for a lot of income, and probably themselves with bocoups of risidual income. BTW, Itachi and Kisame should have been unlockable from the original game itself in my and many others opinion, but then again Jiraiya wasnt so um yeah lol
