Naruto Storm 3: Reaction to Missing Characters

The final roster of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 has been out for a few days now and it features 80 playable and 7 support characters. Of those 80, only one of the Seven Swordsmen has made it, none of the Edo Kage, and neither Kinkaku or Ginkaku. They are in Storm 3′s story mode as bosses, but not as playable characters to use in free battles.

I agree with saiyan island, they should have been in!!! Edo Kages at the least!!

[Panthers]

I have watched all the Naruto episodes on Hulu. Are the Edo Kages the ones that were reserected? I just havent heard that term used in the show yet.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

They dont use the term in the show, but yea those are the ones. I kinda like that edo madara is in the game but I know he's gonna be op and spammed online.

They should have just stuck with the cast from Shippuden and got rid of the younger ninjas. I don't care about playing as them right now. If I wanted that I could still go back and play Storm 1

Very stupid leaving them out and putting old characters in. Makes no sense

[kagon01]

It does makes sense you have to pay for them eventually they're "premium" content.

Ever since NamcoBandai cheated me with Yoda(DiscLockedContent) of SCIV for the PS3.

There is not point in supporting them anymore...

Should have seen what they did with Tekken Tag Team Tournament. Everything was free.

About 8 free characters, free maps, costumes, and couple other stuff.

I wonder if there'll ever be a Naruto game with most or all Naruto characters. That would truly be insane.

[BanBrother]

Lol do people really need to question the logic behind this? Uh, hello, DLC packs?
Of course they will leave out characters. Expect a seven swordsman of the Hidden mist pack day one or thereabouts.

well the story mode is why im getting the game so there´s that.
