Brand New Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 Scan

Xbox Evolved writes:

"New scan showing off Sasuke in the akatsuki gives details on how far the story arc goes."

[Blaze929]

Looks good - can't wait. UNS1 was an amazing game imo...not just add online CC2!

[ProA007]

Man I don't see how they COULDN'T add online this time around.

Anyway, nice scan.

[presto717]

Right after Itachi of course. But damn, when he goes curse mark with the wings and the sharingan and the sword and the freaking chidori nagashi. Dayumm!! Sasuke is the f**king coolest Mofo on the show!!! Right after Itachi of course.

EDIT: @below. I know its sad that sasuke lost the curse mark. but at least its good that orichimaru has left him for good. And I dont think sasuke will go blind. It just cant happen. Plus there's always itachi's eyes so...

[Sunny_D]

Well sasuke lost the curse mark, so he's pretty much a loser. Lol, I wonder if he'll go blind? :) Plus, his new hairstyle after killing Itachi is soooo EMO!

[gintoki777]

wasnt ninja storm for ps3 only?

[White-Sharingan]

Presto- Your not the only one, I also think he is bad ass

@suunyd- Yet he could fight multiple kages in a row, with a lil trouble in some areas but still could hold out multiple attacks at once. And it was stated he had the power of a beast, which is pretty amazing to me. Hes far from being crappy, I would say hes stronger than Naruto as we speak, unless naruto trains some more. Seems thats always the case in thi smanga, naruto is strongest, then sasuke, then naruto again, then sasuke, etc...

[menoyou]

I'm eagerly awaiting this game. If they don't include online battles I will be pissed and the game will fail just like the first. I can't believe they ruin this awesome game by not including online.

[crxss]

since it's coming out in fall does anyone think Shippuden (manga) will be over by then? i hope so, kinda how UNS was the complete first half of naruto.

@LittleSackBoy Itachi isn't slow in UNS you probably just don't know how to you use him ;) he's so freaking fast that he flashes from spot to spot in the game, faster than LEE hands down. And IMO he's the strongest in the game. i think Sasuke might be the strongest ninja at this point of the manga.

Sasuke is awesome i have no idea what everyone's saying about him being a bltch when he's on a revenge streak lol. Also he's always been stronger than Naruto. Naruto is strong as hell but until he controls the 9 tails he'll be no where near Sasuke's level. He only has 1 good move which is the Rasenshuriken, Sage Mode is amazing but how is he gonna avoid Amaterasu?? Either he controls the 9 tails or steals his dad's flying thunder god technique, then he'll be the strongest ninja.

[Raf1k1]

Sasuke is definitely bad ass but the thing about Naruto is there are so many damn good characters.

[ThanatosDMC]

Negi is cooler. Anyway, Sasuke is a dimwit. There's no point in his revenge anymore and as far as the story goes the idea of Naruto and Sasuke as reincarnated eternal feuding brothers is retarded and the idea of a god ninja... lame.

Im not surprised Ninja Storm 2 will be on the 360 too. Graphically it's subpar. I didnt see anything that the 360 could do.

[JasonXE]

To much Sasuke yuck :-p

[Blaze929]

Lol like the current Manga chapters.

[AridSpider]

dude is the biggest hax in Naruto history

[WildArmed]

I agree.
Sasuke's the biggest baby in the stupid manga.
Keep handing him stupid powers.
I'm glad he keeping getting pawned. Coz no matter how many time he gets owned, it just isn't enough.
Ofc Naruto isn't exactly any better, stupid cry baby.

[N4Garbage]

They're both 16 so whining and getting owned is part of their nature.

Why Sasuke passes up the chance to take Itachis eyes is beyond me.

Infinite Mangekyo + Amaterasu = Win but the kid is such a damn bum.

[LittleBigSackBoy]

Sasuke was 17 when he faught Itachi, and that was awhile ago...and people shouldn't complain about Sasuke getting new powers. They over powered Naruto from the start.Sasuke is the second main character in Naruto, and no where near the strongest, (nor is Naruto anywhere near the strongest).

[LittleBigSackBoy]

People love to hate Sasuke,they call him a baby, say he b!tches all the time, etc, etc...But naruto is the one that b!tches "Nooo, Sasuke, come back to the village...blah blah blah". I like Naruto, just prefer Sasuke, I like most of the people in Naruto tbh. People should really think before they b!tch about Sasuke b!tching, when most people in Naruto have a good reason for how they act(If it was real life anyway...).

[Bodyboarder_VGamer]

Ok, I thought I was a psychotic Naruto fan but now I know that I'm not even close. ^That right there is hardcore. =0

So let me take this opportunity to ask a question to all these knowledgeable Naruto fans:

There was an episode in the prior Naruto series were Neji and Hinata fought and then Kakashi start explaining how their special blood-line limit, Byakugan, works. I remember that Kakashi said that Byakugan was superior to the Sharingan in many aspects but then all of a sudden when the Shipppuuden saga starts the Sharingan is perceived like the best thing ever.

Now the question is, why? What happened? Kakashi can do black holes with his Sharingan, Itachi can make black fire, I mean, WTF?!!! How come the Byakugan's so useless now? When we'll see Neji's eye evolve into something? Or is this just an easy way to make Sasuke more powerful so he someday can go against the Jinchuuriki now Sage Naruto?

[WildArmed]

note: I call them all babies.
But i think Sakura might outrank them all in terms of 'baby-ish' ness

@above
lol your not supposed to ask those questions!
Just take it as it comes! >.<
Most manga's have alot of 'take-backs' like that.

the manga's obcession with sasuke killed it for me. I was more keen on how Naruto evolves as the main character, not if he will or will not ever get his ghey love back.

@BELOW
yeah, but i prefer people like neji, Lee, Kakashi over those drama queens. I just find the fact that they train and not 'inherit' power in one way over another. (i was fine with sasuke's sharigans, but after that curse that itachi's powers etc etc made it worse for me)
Actually i despise most of the main characters (like naruto, sakura, sasuke, etc etc).

[Noctis Aftermath]

I like sasuke more then naruto because he tends to be calmer and smarter when he fights, naruto always gets smacked around and gets mad, naruto over the course of the series has mostly just improved his chakra levels, he sucks at just about everything else, yes in sage mode he's a badass but outside of that he can't fight hand to hand for sh1t and has like 2 moves, shadow bushin and rasengen, like come on give him some wind moves already!

[LittleBigSackBoy]

I don't know the fancy names to the chakra stuff so i'll just wing it. Kakashi says Byakugan is better for the way Hyuugas fight, cos you can see the chakra flow points with Byakugan, and you can't with Sharingan. and that's why Kakashi says Sharingan is worse, because you can only see the chakra flow with Sharingan, and not the chakra points you need to hit (poke) to block the chakra flow.

[White-Sharingan]

@Bodyboarder_VGamer- But it is also sai dthat the sharingan is more like an evolved byakugan

If im correct, in therms of strengh, its suppose to be
1- Rin'negan
2- Sharingan
3- Byakugan

@LittleBigSackBoy- thats true, but if you also remember, neji would see all shadow clones made by naruto as a whol ebody, he could not know which was a shadow clone and which was the real one. The sharingan is able to see which one is a shadow clone and which one is the real one, so the choosing begins: would you prefer seeing all chakra points including in the shadow clones (which dont work on them since they just disappear) or know which one is real and which ones isn't?

[simplyRealistic18]

completely agree they give him over powered eyes and all and he still gets his ass kicked by killer bee and almost died if it weren't for his butt buddies who saved them

he has itachi's susano'o against the raikage and got his ass whoop seriously this guy is pathetic what more does he need to win

and he didn't even beat itachi , i was hoping itachi gave him more of an ass whoopin

@ 2.8

yeah i always wished they evolved the byakugan since they both descendants of the rinnegan, but i guess make whatever sasuke have stronger

i hope they make naruto actually learn new jutsu then changing the overused rasengon into a more power rasengon, because he really should learn wind jutsu and i hope he learn how to flow his chakra like the raikage can, layering his body and making him fast

@ 2.9 its just this gay love story that get me annoyed,

i don't understand they can kill a another person without remorse but fall apart when their friend leave (SO GAY)
naruto need some P***y because the main character shouldn't be that gay

[presto717]

Byakugan is good, but sharingan is just better. I would imagine that at low levels, the Byakugan level might be at an advantage, but once the uchiha clan member gets to like 3-dot-sharingan or heaven forbid mangyekun sharingan, then its lights out for byakugan. but the question of if neji's eyes will evolve is interesting. I would like to see him get stronger.

[Kalowest]

Cool, have to pick this up when it comes out.

[Ninji]

Just make a new IP already or a least a good Naruto fighting game (which so far there hasn't been one and this obviously includes ninja storm). Then again, it took a long time for DBZ to get a good fighting game (Tenkaichi 3) so I guess once the Playstation 5 comes around (yes, PS5) then there might be a good Naruto fighting game.

[Sunny_D]

I disagree. The first really felt awesome and looked like the anime. Just wished there was online, because it was pretty short.

[WildArmed]

I loved UNS. Yes the fighting was pretty simple, but the game was pretty awesome.
a solid 8 in my book.
It was fun doing side missions and stuff.
Sure the game could have been better, but isn't that what sequels are for? ^^

[simplyRealistic18]

i hope they ake the fighting more complex because it's to easy, the only thing ubisoft every did good in their game was the way you do jutsus but it was to slow so it mess the game up

[Quadrix]

Guess that means it's going pretty far in the story.

[simplyRealistic18]

i hope they have sage naruto

[KonohagakureFC]

Hope the first games impressive visuals will improve this time around. It looked stunning and I hope it being on the 360 doesnt spoil it this time

[Sangria]

Is there someone who reads moonspeak here?
There's apparently a release date in the top right corner but the only thing I'm able to read is "2010". I think in japanese it means 2010.

[Blaze929]

It's Fall 2010 for Japan. Who knows if we'll see a dubbed version shortly after or the same time.

[LittleBigSackBoy]

Didn't EU get UNS1 before japan? Can't reply anymore so thanks in advance.

[Blaze929]

Yep, Japan was actually THE last region to get UNS if I'm correct. I believe before then they had just got Accel 2 aka UN5. So it makes sense why they got it last.

[polow got sol]

I actually enjoyed the first game all it needed was online support. I just hope the graphics remain the same.

[Blaze929]

why wouldnt the graphics remain the same or better even?

[simplyRealistic18]

don't mean to sound like a fanboy but every game that come from sony exclusivity and goes to the xbox lose some aspect of freedom to do better

i just microsoft don't mess it up, because we had free dlc when it was on the ps3 and you know how microsoft hates anything free, i don't think the graphic will take a impact because even tho it looks light years better the broken bond, i don't think it was technically challenging(it couldn't only be done on the ps3)

[Blaze929]

Dude, this is an anime game....not some big budget Uncharted/Final Fantasy game where the 360 could actually hold back development. The scans look just as great as ever and when we finally see footage, could even look better than UNS1. Thanks to the 360, at least we know trophies are confirmed and maybe the possibility of the game going online.

"i just microsoft don't mess it up, because we had free dlc when it was on the ps3 and you know how microsoft hates anything free"

Did you play Dragonball: Raging Blast? NamcoBandai published that game, as they will UNS2, and it still had free DLC on both platforms.

On top of that, the DLC wasn't even real DLC on UNS1 - just KB sized downloads that unlocked support characters already on the disc.

There is a different between the 360 and PS3 but come on, for a freaking anime game? Some of you all take things way too far.

[LittleBigSackBoy]

My most wanted game of 2010, by far.Then it's probably WKC...

[2cents]

:)

[KingKionic]

Sasuke is ok...itachi is much better ...alive !

haha

[LittleBigSackBoy]

I hope they fix Itachi in this 1. He was so slow and crap in UNS1, i know he uses Genjutsu, but they could at least make him run or something. Hope they fix sharingan in this too, it did nothing in UNS1.

[Sunny_D]

To me, Itachi will be the coolest bad@ss in Naruto. Everything he did was for the village and Sasuke. But, Sasuke has to do the exact opposite of what Itachi wanted. :(

[LittleBigSackBoy]

Yeah...he's driven by hatred though.He'll turn good eventually...

[WildArmed]

reallly?
I pawned wid itachi in UNS.

His play style was different, but very badas$.
Could easily beat the comp on it's hardest mode.

Itachi was my second fav char in UNS, right after Guy O_O (Loved his Ultimate skill lol)

Oh and the game could be very badass if they added co-op or somthing.

btw, I hope sasuke dies b4 he turns good O_O
I wanna see the ultimate fight between sasuke n nartuo end with death.

[LittleBigSackBoy]

I don't mind if they kill sasuke, but i hope they make it a epic death. I doubt they will kill him though, Naruto and Sasuke will fight again, and naruto will probably win (even though 1 Amaterasu and it would be over). And then Naruto and Sasuke will team up vs Madara and (or) Danzo.

[KingKionic]

Danzo vs sasuke...i would love to see that fight .

[Raider69]

Another one that goes multiplatform!I sense some hurting feelings already,now start bashing it like normaly happens on N4G.

[LittleBigSackBoy]

Are those hurt feelings your own?

[redneck_smith]

LOOKS HORRIBLE, NARUTO ULTIMATE STORM 1 LOOKS 7X BETTER

[Narutodemonx]

Thats what microsoft does to exclusives. they downgrade them just so they can make money they dont need. look at gta4 Final fantasy etc they could have looked way better if they just stayed on the original console. but anyways i still cant wait for this game. i hope the 8 and the nine tail forms are in the game

[belal]

hope they add online play :D

[bujasem_89]

exclusive to sony??

EDIT: so this is gonna be multi , that explains why it looks a little less like the anime, the first one i could've sworn i was watching just another Episode , it really looked that good , but im still looking forward to it

[WildArmed]

well assuming it's running on the same engine from UNS, there shouldn't be much difference (it probably looks better since they'll do some upgrading)

[Hidden Star]

Great IP, great devs, great franchise, great game.

[silverchode]

release date?

[Raider69]

@littlebigsackboy

Since i own the 360 and PS3... my feellings are not hurt because i can go an pick the better version!But it seems the HAT serves you well...right!

[simplyRealistic18]

its funny how the 360 fanboys was saying broken bond is better than this but i bet you all of them will be getting this instead of ubisoft's

[DigitalAnalog]

Anyways, I quickly laughed at those who thought Tobi = Obito = Danzo back in the day.

Didn't get the previous game but I'm getting this one this time around. I really could live without the english dub (BELIEVE IT!) <---UGH!

-End statement

[Dannycr]

That right there tells me the game goes real deep and we are going to see Amaterasu, Susanoo and Sage modes (Jiraya and Naruto).

We will get to fight as Pain probably and hopefully we will get to use the stage where Pain and Jaraiya fought, which would be awesome.

[simplyRealistic18]

they going to underpower pain of course because he is kinda overpowered with that rinnegan, only if he was so drained in the manga he would of been more badass

[nemrawy]

My hopes for this game:

1- Online.
2- Deep combat system and not just button mashing.
3- A good story mode which contains the fight of Naruto Vs Pain.
4- More jutsus and 3 ultimate jutsus for each character ( atleast the main characters ).

[simplyRealistic18]

sorry but three is overpowered just 1 ultimate and 3 or 4 regular jutsu and use perform then like a hadoken or shoryuken or something like that not just press triangle

[DelbertGrady]

Mayday! Mayday! We just lost another one! Sir, I don't know for how much longer we can stay afloat! The hull has been hit for massive damage! We are taking in water!

[ingiomar]

@white-sharingan said: And it was stated he(sasuke) had the power of a beast

Im a big naruto-manga reader/Anime viewer and i can tell you they have NEVER stated that sasuke had the power of a beast and nobody can say who's the strongest yet altough sometimes they make it look like sasuke is the stronger one...and btw we haven't seen the power that itachi gave to naruto yet....not even in the manga chapters... I think in the end they will be on the same lvl and they will kill madara thx to their teamwork ( they can practically read each others mind ).

[NoOoB101]

i just hope they include a heap load of characters to play with, at least 35 hopefully more.

[Dannycr]

The one who was said to be a Jinchūriki without a beast cause of his ungodly amount of chakra (thanks to Samehada)

[Justin_bristoe]

i still play part one.i hope part 2 is better with the fighting two.

needs more freedom in the battle arena (say like the battle ring online would be a forest with trees you could jump on and off and use it to ur advantage.combos use more buttons.different supper moves. as far as the manga..sauske is the better ninja out of him and naruto overall,hand to hand sauske is just more skilled in every way. me i dont see him turning good again i see him being the next orochmaru naruto the next jariya and sakura the next tsunade. and i'm glad they finally got some black characters in the show!

[UnblessedSoul]

I hope they dont miss any arcs this time, like the first one missed zabuza and haku, also they need to add trophies, online and add some AA to this game hopefully

[theonlylolking]

just go to this website they are already fighting danzo http://www.onemanga.com/Nar...

[theonlylolking]

online support

Using the right stick for more jutsu's( by using the right stick ti use jutsus.Move to the left and you do pheonix flower jutusu and up with right stick to do fire ball jutusu, click the right stick and you activate your sharingan for 30 seconds, click the left stick and use your mongekyo shargigan for 30 seconds and takes out 24% of chakra with sasuke.

THey also need to add more characters

Have chakra bars:blue, green, red(red is most amount of chakra) the more powerfull the character the more chakra he/she has.

[Ashriel]

Wow, they go really far into the manga story. I wonder how many character there will be...

[893deidara]

i hope the story mode goes up to eight tail ark IIIII WWWAAAAAAANNNTTT KKKKKILLLERR BBBBBBEEEEE
