Siliconera sat down with Hiroshi Matsuyama, CEO of CyberConnect2, to talk about making Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations. The latest game in the Storm series includes characters from the original Naruto arc and Shippuden storyline. In this interview, Matsuyama discusses the roster, awakenings, and why the epic boss battles from Storm 2 aren’t in generations.
CyberConnect2 just publisher another video featuring President Hiroshi Matsuyama, talking about the possibility to improve older games.
CyberConnect 2 is working on a secret game based on an established IP, and apparently they're confident that it'll be revealed soon enough.
Bleach "Ninja Storm" type game, that's what I'm hoping for. Even if they did get pretty lazy with the last few entries of the Ninja Storm series. Still had its great moments, especially during boss battles.
Ah, you're right. I don't know why I was thinking that was said more than 2 months ago. I figured they might have had a change of plans, but it was pretty recently stated. I can still hold out hope they were just trying to throw us off, yeah? I just want a good Bleach game. The series deserves it. Heat the Soul was good, I just want something on consoles though.
That's very unlikely. They picked up that question about Bleach on their own initiative, and I seriously, seriously doubt they decided to answer a specific question only to outright lie about it. That's normally a no no, even more so in Japan.
Unfortunately, the popularity of Bleach has died out a lot in Japan, so that ship may have sailed :(
Wasn't there a rumor that a new .Hack game was being made? Or is my timing off and that was the one that released a few years ago?
Today CyberConnect2 released another video starring President Hiroshi Matsuyama who sneaked in a really interesting tease.
On top of that, there's the mention that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 on Switch is possible, but that request should be directed to Bandai Namco.
Would be cool if these guys made a new IP that was a JRPG. You think they would be tired of making Naruto games....
