I love how matches are controlled by a meter that honestly should be used as a super meter.
Oh well lol.
IMO, it’s way out there as the best, and not only because of the online play. The biggest thing is the serious boost to the character diversity.
A game with a super meter that has more than one use?! Unthinkable!
We have been getting this title played on our Japanese Wii’s for some time now as it was one of the few titles on the Japanese lineup that we like. It is really nice to see the Wii get a decent fighting game outside of Brawl and the Japanese TvC was alwas scrutinized so much by the community here in America, and it was another reason for people to use Wii fight Sticks since it seemed no one was playing with them.
We have had mixed reviews in the Naruto communities about this game as a real tourney title, most folks tend to request The Japanese PS2 versions of Naruto Shippuuden: Narutimate Accel 2 or the continued popularity of GNT4 on the Cube.
I would like to see how well this titles ends up holding up to as far as tourneys go. As a casual gamer at conventions, I love it, people prefer it to the PS3 titles (at least from what we have seen).
The game isn’t a port of the Japanese Wii game. The American CONR3 is a totally unique game. The characters were all balanced by Tomy USA and there are a whole bunch of characters that were created in America (Towa, Bando, Kagura, the Anbu chick, the other Anbu chick, Chiyo, Baki and Anbu Kakashi…which is 20% of the cast), in addition to stuff like the “latent skills” and a bunch of new moves that were added in America. The game is only a week old, so confirming or dismissing its tourney worthiness is speculative at best atm. Not to sound like a dick.
Well, I probably suck, but getting rewarded for simple trigger mashing is bullshit.
…can you explain?
Edit:
Also is there a list of what each person’s latent powers activate?
Its mashing L and R when you have 75% meter that gives you a ton of reward for so little.
Except when your opponent predicts it and punishes the hell out of you.
Of course, I doubt you’re able to get to that level of mindgame, so at scrub level, yes, mashing teleport works.
Ah.
Is this game worth purchasing and learning? If go…GUY MAH BOI.
This right here. Kisame is my favorite character, in part because of this. His big jutsu activates with this big, over-the-top slash that can catch people out of the air if they try and teleport near me, above me or back in front of me. His water shark bombs aren’t to bad for this, either.
The only one I know for certain is that Gaara gets a boost to his defense and doesn’t take chip damage(!!!). Kisame, I believe, can activate his water clone without a penalty to his chakra and Jiraiya gets a new jutsu. Not 100% certain on those two.
Can I get an answer to my question please?
Looked like the area of effect for dark swamp got HUGE after his meter turned red in those vids linked earlier. Maybe thats what it does for him
Its only worth it if you
a) have people to play against
and
b) want to play it
I say try it out first. It’s generally pretty easy to get into, but the mindgames are what makes it really fun.
No homo but <3Nana is the truth at Naruto.
I main Hidan as well. And yes, the triumphant return of Naruto is here. This game is totally balanced. There is not a single “Sagat-tier” character left in this game and most of the characters who once existed in such a category have seriously been buffered.
I haven’t gotten around to online play, but supposedly there is lag when it comes to most online battles. However, the lag is not as incompetent as say, Tekken 6, but it’s there nonetheless.
If you have not played this game, you need to stop reading this and get on it! Anything you once knew about this game that was broken has been fixed. I can’t wait to play this at tournaments!
Does this game have combo cancels like the one’s in Naruto GNT4?
YES!!! Read my previous post. And Guy and Rock Lee are mad fun to play in this game, especially when their Latent Ninja Powers (when they glow colors because their life is low) triggers.
As for the LNP for Jiraiya and Kisame:
Jiraiya’s swamp hitbox becomes much larger and Kisame’s water clones are free (and supposedly, Kisame also steals more chakra than normal)
If you want to know what the latent ninja powers are, go here:

This is a list of MOST, but not all of each character’s abilities. Most characters actually have more than one latent ninja power.
For those that don’t know, Latent Ninja Powers (LNP) are extra abilities that a character gets when their life is extremely low (indicated by a glow of some color). These abilities range from free transformations to stronger attacks and sometimes, additional specials or moves.
I’d play it. Haven’t played this style of naruto in a long time (first one to include itachi…I think that was 2 or something). Although Accel 2 was really fun.
yes it does.
I played last night with Rioting Soul and Warna Brother and Rock Lee in LNP Mode in Second gate with full chakra is fuckin dangerous. He basically has immediate access Hidden Lotus popping the gate. I imagine all types of retarded shenanigans coming from this lol. When I get a chance I’m going to try to experiment with it.
I’m also finding that I like Sakura after messing around with her for a bit…her run B might be a cross up since the guys were having a bit of a problem blocking it normally.
Edit:
Reading through a small bit of the thread and people are already starting to call for LNP to be banned? WTF?
