ninja storm looks really cool and is kind of fun, but is horribly unbalanced and not nearly as deep as narutimate accel 2. There’s also strong arguement for naruto gekitou no ninja taisen 4(and the newer wii ones although I haven’t actually played those ones). I have a lot of experience with the old game cube ones and they are fun, deep, and decently balanced. The ps2 ones play very differentyly but are also fun, deep, and decently balanced(if you ban hiruko).
Have not played the 360 Naruto figthers (nor do I intend to since I don’t have the system), but the Gekitou Ninja Taisen series and Narutimate Hero series are solid fighting game series.
People (like me) that like the Bloody Roar series might like the GNT series too (since their made by the same team of 8ing). Still yet to play the Wii entries, but GNT4 is one of the best in the series.
It is somewhat a tough call for me for the NH series; but NH2 and after are really good.
Yeah, seriously. Ninja Storm is probably the best Naruto fighting GAME. But CONR is the best FIGHTING game.
If you know what I mean.
^ He speaks the truth.
(Ninja Storm is what a Naruto fighting game should feel like.
Gekitou Ninja Taisen is what the balance and high level play should be like.)
I didn’t know this place hated the Ultimate Ninja series.
watch out, people might tell you to stop “watching/playing” naruto because they believe it makes you dumb -> :lame:
i dont understand why people even brought that up against me.
Narutimette Hero is a solid game. It retains the same great mobility and feel but it lacks the same balance as demonstrated again in its successor Ninja Storm. You could combo and do mix ups all day but then the other guy lands two Jutsus on you and kills you. There’s too much life in Narutimette Hero I think, and normals don’t do enough damage.
There’s also the issue of transformations… Certain characters become god tier, throwing balance out the wndow. They kept this in Ninja Storm as well…
The game just needs a dash of balance to be perfect.
I liked taisen better than the accel series but either one is good. I got more respect from, the accel series when I played accel 2. If both these game had a bit more balanced than these games would grow in huge popularity.
How the Hell can anyone play a game that allows you to mash to get out of throws, pressure, combos for little meter? It’s one thing if you have something like Burst in GG but it’s stupid in the Naruto games. When I tried to play it, I gave it a shot. I was taking it seriously. I swore that I would master the timing of the KNJ and when I asked about it… sigh people told me it’s just best to mash.

See when they turn into a cloud of smoke? You can mash that nonsense and it works. It’s not hard. Even a shitty player can mash out of anything. I played some people back when I was in college and there were times when people did nothing but KNJ for extended periods of time. One the worst game mechanics I’ve ever seen. I’m sure you can bait it but jeez. It’s stupid easy to use.
Cool, now I know which one to avoid if I ever play any of this stuff.
Is Naruto: CoN Revolution 2 worth picking up at Gamestop for 26 dollars? I’m getting bored and I feel like picking up a fighting game for the Wii.
I did play Accel which I own. I did find mashing a KNJ to be harder, much harder in Accel 2 than Narutimate 2. I played Narutimate 2 vs people in college and dudes mashed KNJ.
Ninja Storm looked amazing on PS3. I was about to buy a PS3 just for this game but then I found out it didnt have online play.
Yeah, I was wondering why people used the mashing argument until I realized they were referring to an old game.
If there was one problem with NH’s KnJ system, it would be the very small cost of Chakra. In the GNT series, you have to have 75% (3 bars) of Chakra to KnJ. In NH series, it is about smaller than 25%. Other than that, there are not many problems with it.
That is, if you play the old games. Since NH3, the chakra cost has been larger. Chakra growth is also slower, and in Accel 2, they removed the infinite chakra item.
CoNR 3 is looking good, and they have top level naruto players testing, which is pretty cool.
Well no they didn’t remove the infinite chakra item.
If you mash KNJs, you’re gonna eat an infinite. Just saying. :smokin:
I think the latest version of Gekitou Ninja Taisen (Clash of Ninja) series on the Wii is pretty decent.
The latest one on the Wii is : Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3. Gotta say that Sasori is pretty cheap in the game.
take it from me (someone who has played for a long time and played every naruto game out there ((pretty much)) )
the best is easily narutimate hero accel 2 (or ultimate ninja 5 for those in the states)
it’s not yet available in the states yet but if you have a modded ps2 it’s easily the best yet,
for more info check out www.shishi-rendan.com, this site is soley for the naruto fighting games.
hope this helped!
