Naruto Headed To Nintendo 3DS In March

Tomy’s side-scrolling Naruto action game, Naruto Shippuden: Nin-rittai Emake! Saikyou Ninkai Kessen, has a release date. Tomy are bringing the Ninja Council-inspired game to the 3DS on March 31st.

Japanese magazine, Shonen Jump, previously reported that Saikyou Ninkai Kessen makes use of certain 3D effects like allowing Naruto to leap out of the screen, although it’s mostly a side-scroller. The game also makes use of the 3DS touchscreen for special attacks.

Additionally, Tomy also confirm on the game’s website that Saikyou Ninkai Kessen will be a strictly singleplayer game. Saikyou Ninkai Kessen hasn’t been announced for a U.S. release, but lately, Atlus USA have been publishing Tomy’s Naruto titles in North America.
