Naruto’s 3DS Debut Is A 3D Side-Scrolling Action Game

Tomy is preparing a Naruto Shippuden: Nin-rittai Emake! Saikyou Ninkai Kessen, which sounds like a 3D take on the Naruto: Ninja Council series.

Shonen Jump explains this Naruto Shippuden game makes use of 3D fields, but it’s mostly a side-scrolling ninja action game. Some levels make use of 3D gimmicks and players will see Naruto Uzumaki leap out of the screen. The bottom screen has touch screen special attacks and it appears you can tag a partner character like Sakura. Whether you change characters or call her out for a partner attack wasn’t explained in the article.

Naruto Shippuden: Nin-rittai Emake! Saikyou Ninkai Kessen is slated for a spring release in Japan.
