Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Review: A Pretty Good Start
6:00AM Mike Fahey | After two years of languishing in ninja-less void, the PlayStation 3 finally gets its very own Naruto game with Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm. The latest in the Ultimate Ninja series from developer CyberConnect2, Ultimate Ninja Storm has been making fans drool with its anime-topping cel-shaded graphics ever since the first screens slipped onto the internet back in April of this year, so good that many internet dwellers called bullshots. Then the trailer came out, and everyone just sat quietly and watched. More »
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Screens Appear Out Of *Nowhere*
3:00PM Michael McWhertor | Naruto? Not really our “thing.” Chalk it up to ignorance, the daunting back story and the unwillingness to do the work involved to become interested. But the games tend to look spectacular, with Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PlayStation 3 no exception. We can only imagine how intensely 10-year old version of us would have been blown away by seeing a cartoon so accurately portrayed in video game form. More »
Naruto: Ultmate Ninja Storm Getting Day One DLC
5:30PM Mike Fahey | CyberConnect2 president Hiroshi Matsuyama is now the number one reason I want to learn to speak Japanese. He has this quick-talking, sly sort of accent that reminds me a bit of a stereotypical used car salesman that is completely compelling to listen to. I almost wish that his translator would stop interrupting at the Atari press conference at the Games Convention today, though that would have meant me missing him announcing that Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm will be hitting the PlayStation 3 with downloadable content available from day one. What kind of downloadable content? Unfortunately he couldn’t say, but either way, it’s good to see an anime fighting game – traditionally fire and forget deals – with post-release support already in the works. And yes, Matsuyama, who considers himself the ultimate Naruto fan, ended his presentation with a joyful shout – “Believe it!” Sounds so much better coming from a Japanese used car salesman.

8:00AM Mike Fahey | It just looks better and better every time I see it. GameTrailers just posted their exclusive trailer for Namco Bandai’s Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PlayStation 3, and I have to say that this is hands-down the best looking cel-shaded game I have ever seen. The visuals that I’ve seen so far have even inspired me to borrow the entire anime series from a friend, so hopefully by the time the game hits in October I will understand what the hell is going on.

1:20AM Mike Fahey | GameSpot’s latest episode of their weekly On The Spot show has Namco Bandai marketing manager In Joon Hwang showing off the PlayStation 3 exclusive Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm in action. The game basically takes the fighting from the previous Ultimate Ninja titles and moves it into a 3D arena. The game features 25 characters (*sigh*) along with support character who drop in to help out. It looks great, but how does it play? We’ll know soon enough, as a playable demo will be coming out around E3 in July, initially available exclusively to Qore subscribers and then released to the unwashed masses a couple weeks later. Update: Good old YouTube. Thanks Kumuasata! Hit the link for the full episode of On The Spot.
