It’s about time Namco Bandai worked a Tekken character into a Naruto game, as the company reveals Tekken 6′s Lars Alexandersson as an unlockable character in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.
An interesting addition to the game, I think. I was never under the impression that Naruto suffered from a lack of playable characters, but if you’re going to add more, might as well be from Tekken.
Though, Lars? Could we get a little more obscure? Why not a Yoshimitsu, or one of the Mishima clan?
Perhaps Lars is just a start. Either way, we’ll know for sure ones Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 ships for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this September.

Lars is the illegitimate son of Heihachi Mishima.

He was also really really lame though.

Sunday, June 20, 2010 at 6:33 AMWTF, having Tekken in a naruto game is a terrible idea. I mean who the hell would want that…, that’s like having soup with syrup on it, they just don’t go together

Kinda like how soul Calibur add in a special guest character depending on which console you have. It would of been cool if they did that for this game. This look really cool and I so can’t wait! I wonder if it’ll cover the Hinata vs. Pain scene!!!
