Tomy offered a candid look at their Naruto plans for 2009 in this past issue of Shonen Jump. In addition to confirming Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 the magazine reports it will have Wi-Fi multiplayer matches.

Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4, a side-scrolling beat ‘em up with the next generation of Naruto characters, is coming out here this spring. Of course, this isn’t the only Naruto Shippuden game Tomy is working on, but what other games are hiding in their offices?   Gamefly drops huge hints with listings for Naruto Shippuden: [...]

Tomy plans to squeeze 35 characters into Naruto: Shippuuden Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3. Usually news like this would be good news, however, most of these characters were already in last year’s Naruto Wii game. This installment introduces a paltry five characters: Kurenai, Hidan, Kakazu, and two secret characters. The anime is progressing slowly in [...]

Every year, right around the holidays, Tomy releases a new and improved Naruto game for a Nintendo console. Naruto: Clash of Ninja has been the base of all the games in the series and it’s still the foundation for Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2. Each yearly update usually comes with a few new characters [...]

The two player versus mode in Naruto Shippuuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3 is essentially the two character combat system Tomy will introduce in Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2. However, you won’t be getting an adventure mode which will be included in Naruto Shippuuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3.   You’re not missing out [...]

Tomy sent V-Jump a clip of their yearly Nintendo Naruto game and for the most part Naruto Shippuuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3 looks a lot like Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 minus the whole original ANBU story. The two player tag team system will be implemented along with new Shippuuden characters Hidan and [...]

Or is it the other way around? In any case Naruto: Shippuden Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3 has the two player tag team mode that will be introduced in Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2. We’re getting that feature without wading through two other Naruto Shippuden games on the Wii.   Confirmed new characters include [...]

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 isn’t just a mash up of existing Naruto games. Tomy took a large leap beyond localization and created characters specifically for North America.   In Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 you get to play as Yuago, a member of Anbu and Hayate’s girlfriend. The clip below has some [...]

When I had a chance to play Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 the first thing I did was select Kurenai. The leader of Team 8 doesn’t attack with illusions like in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3. Kurenai has in your face kicks and a few tree tricks. As for jutsus she can tie up another [...]

We all knew it was coming, but ryne11 and sent an e-mail over (thanks!!) confirming Tomy is working on a sequel for Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution. The July issue of Shonen Jump has a sneak preview of Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 and like each yearly installment of Naruto fighting games there will [...]

Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 2’s story mode briefly overlaps with Eighting’s previous game. The first fight is a battle between Gaara and Deidara. By the eighth fight Sakura takes on Sasori and in the 24th mission Yamato faces Orochimaru. The twenty eight story battles in Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 2 brings [...]

I barely dug into it, I only played a few fights in story mode over the weekend. Unlike the other Gekitou Ninja Taisen games there isn’t a tutorial battle. The first fight is between Gaara and Deidara. Yes, there is a small amount of overlapping, but before you know it you’re pummeling characters in the [...]

I haven’t taken the plunge into Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 2 yet, but the manual revealed a surprise for me. Young Naruto and Sasuke are in the game as playable characters! I’m guessing Eighting decided to bring in the characters they made for Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution into the Japanese game as [...]

Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 2 arrives in Japan today… later today. However, someone already has the game and posted the intro on YouTube. Let’s see… Jiraya, Tsunade and Orochimaru are in this and their moves look similar to their combos in Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution. Wouldn’t it be funny if Eighting reused [...]
