Asuma rocks!! His mid Ougi with down + X is super reliable when facing many enemies (4 players Versus but especially in Shadow Fighting/Endurance Mode). Also, the noise made by his Chakra blades are pretty cool. He just lacks his cigarette :P

I’m also a Shikamaru fan, but was pretty sad they took off his previous down + X jutsu which could capture up to 9 opponents at once. This new “Air kunai” technique is way less precise.

All in all, the game’s a solid fighter and the TRUE transition from the GC versions IMHO.

Just disable the waggle controls for melee attacks, and use down on the D-pad instead. The “Wiimote-Nunchuck” controls are worth it, motions will only be required during in between levels’ cut-scenes, seals and during the Ougis. In all cases you don’t even “need” to do it but I do feel it’s a decent implementation which can feel pretty rewarding at times. Especially when hearing characters’ punch lines and SFX through the Wiimote once you succeed all steps of a special attack.

Just a shame Chiyoba-sama is still missing, let’s wait n see what will be added in EX3…

You didn’t tell us how Asuma played…

Not like I’m that interested in the game anymore though…

@yakusoku: I was hoping for a freeloader all along, but w/ Nintendo’s last update disabling the Gamecube one, I’m not so sure.. Frankly I’m not as impressed by the Wii Naruto outings compared to the GNTs on the GC. There’s still some games I want to play in Jpn, like Hajime no Ippo (even though it’s a mediocre boxing game), Eyeshield 21, or the cute dating sim “Clean Keeper” which will never come here…

Well now we just have to wait for a Freeloader system, or this game to come out in the USA and I’m set. I would much prefer the Freeloader because then I get the Japanese Voice actors.

Meh.. This game doesn’t even have 4TK (Though this will likely be shown in like 10 hours in Japan)(though a blood armor may be “too much” for this anyway)

Now all the series needs to do is add online and some of the things that were in GNT4 and the series will be made of win once more.

There are so many other characters that could and ought to be playable that aren’t.

(Future Rant)
There is No excuse for Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 to not have Asuma now, or Revolution EX(eventually) to not have TF Sasori playable, as well as the Akatsuki Stage playable
