Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 will probably be the best in a game quality standpoint, as it will have online, various gameplay customization options, and was playtested by people who tournament play the series.
From a “good as a liscense game” standpoint, Ultimate Ninja Storm looks closest to the show and all of the characters’ animations are accurate and filled with personality for that character, not to mention the awesome looking cinematic ultimates.
I personally played CoNR2, wish I could play UNS, but still wish we could have a “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” or “Hokuto no Ken” type 2D sprite based SF-type fighting game made of Naruto (Or Bleach) by a company that’s already know for good fighting games.
actually the second one is that came out I read isn’t horrible…Bleach is far superior on the DS IMO though. They seem to be getting better so maybe by the next one it will be pretty good.
In terms of the combat engine itself, I love the DS games. They have fast, cancel-based action that teeters very closely to feeling like a legit fighting game. The problem is that they fall prey to the issues many 3D DS games are faced with, particularly framerate issues.
Any decent x360 naruto fighters out there? Want to get one for some casual playing and fun, it shouldnt be crappy but it doesnt matter if it cant be played competetive. An onlinemode would be nice tho, and I would appreciate a big nice character lineup.
I believe that GNT 4 for Gamecube and Narutimate Accel 2 for ps2 are both the best Naruto games to date (excluding the imminent release of Naruto Revolution 3). Both of those games have the most playable characters of any Naruto game to date, and are as solid as a rock (yet admittedly, are as broken as glass).
I could play either game for hours (with a worthy opponent) and be completely satisfied. Matches get intense once you know what you’re doing in those games. I have high hopes for the alleged Naruto Storm 2. Let’s pray they have online play and a bunch more characters.
Yeah, I couldnt wait and played it yesterday for about 2 hours. The storymode is pretty neat, the fights are fun but the Jutsus annoy me a little right now, but I think thats just because its new to me. And Zabuza is available :tup: Thanks for the recommendation so far.
Ok…I’ve played most of the Naruto games, including gamecube, ps2, and even wii incarnations, but I LOVE Ninja Storm…it is a great game in the sense it has possibly the best graphics all around, a movement system that feels more true to 3D than GC/Wii games, and is just buttery fluid throughout…and although I really like it…it needs work.
All I need to say is…Naruto+ Orochomaru/Kimimaru as assists (or similar).
This team and teams similar to it are very broken. You can try to master KMJ, but you will eventually fall to this team.
Start combo…call assist…keeps them in guard while you charge RASENGAN all the way…(becoming unblockable)…let’her RIP.
You can’t do much…knj and you still land into it, block and you get hit, call an assist and if you’re lucky enough that they don’t get caught in the assist you still have to hope they can at least be in the way of the rasegan…that’s the only chance from what i’ve seen. Btw…charged rasengan goes through the whole playing field and TRACES. so yea…Naruto is pretty broken…
Not too many instances this bad…but it is the worst…since knj is kinda iffy. If they give this game more tweaks…it can surely surpass the ps2 games in balance and playability at “high level”…though naruto is not a theme a high level game will ever be built from…Naruto is FUN!
…call assist to block all incoming attacks…charge up all the way…RAAAASENGAN!
