Namco Bandai Games Europe has posted a FAQ on their website officially confirmed the Edo Kage, Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and the six missing Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist will not be playable in the game. They’ve stated it isn’t possible to include them through downloadable content (DLC).
Bandai Namco will release a Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Collection for PlayStation 3 on February 2016 in Europe, the Middle-East, Australasia, and Africa, the publisher announced.
The collection will include Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst.
They dont want to put extra effort ($) into the oldergames.
The money made off of this will support deelopment for the upcoming season pass.
If it was for PS4 that would be amazing. Play through the whole story on 1 system!
Recently just bought 2 at GS for $6 and ordered 1 for $17 off eBay, so even if this did come to NA I am to invested to get this.
GamesRadar - Video games are known for letting us mere mortals wield ludicrous amounts of power. You are the Master Chief, the Free Man, or the Chosen One, destined to save mankind and somesuch. Over the course of your journey, you unlock increasingly spectacular weapons and abilities. A crowbar gets replaced by a rocket launcher, a puny fireball becomes a gigantic meteor. Eventually, however, things get a little out of hand.
IGN - Like all the cool special edition PS4s, Japan keeps the best anime video games for itself. Unless it’s from a super popular series like Dragon Ball Z or Naruto, then there’s sadly little chance of games based on anime making it to North America. If a game does receive an official translation, it’s usually several months to years after the initial Japanese release, such as with J-Stars Victory VS+.
Even so, a few gems have made it to North America over the years. Whether you're a huge anime fan or just a gamer looking for some stylish action, you can't go wrong with these 8 awesome anime adaptations.
Whaaaa? That's kind of crappy... :\
Granted, it's a great game, but they really should have given us more characters than what we got. With it being the 3rd "main" entry into the series.
Not to mention that the trailers were quite misleading. They certainly led me to believe all the Kage were playable. I mean shoot, they had movesets and everything.
Ugh, what lame roster overall. Adding PTS character added more salt to the injury. I like the characters they added, but they should've actually put more war characters into the game - Edo Kage's, Kin/Gin, Kurosutchi, Kitsuchi, Choujuro, etc.
it's a sad day in Naruto land!!!!
I'm pretty pissed by this because I can already see what they're going to do:
Generations 2: Edo Kages
Storm 4: Tobi unmasked and Dragon Kabuto
I was hoping that these characters would be added and maybe a story dlc to advance plot somehow even though it ended with a non-cannon ending, but of course that was a fools dream.
