I do hope Younger Tobi comes with an unlockable Rinnegan costume. Man, that would be so awesome... Looks like there could be three DLC slots, but those are down in the support group, so probably no playables unfortunately. There goes my hopes of having Madara, but it looks like they got most everyone else. XD

... so many great games are being ruined by the DLC-milking.

I just want to buy a game and just have the complete experience. Very simple.

FinaLXiii4860d ago

im sorry how DLC affects this game? i dont see lack of content

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4861d ago

How do they have Darui and not Omoi?

Yi-Long4861d ago

... Omoi looks like a cool character. Love his design.

Skateboard4861d ago

I wish Capcom can make a fighting game with that many characters, never going to happen.

Hufandpuf4861d ago

nope because with so many characters, there will be some that get limited to no usage whatsoever. Which would be a waste of development time.

Yi-Long4861d ago

... they're past glory.

Nowadays if they'd attempt a game like this, with so many characters, it would be 75% DLC-milking.

I really wish they'd come up with a new next-gen Power Stone game with a huge roster like this though, but TBH, I've pretty much given up on Capcom.

admiralvic4861d ago

I can't speak for ALL games like this... but after a certain point you get a blur of similar characters. I played Bleach Heat the soul for a while and MOST characters are cookie cutter with different looks and specials. The reason games like Blazblue and Guilty Gear (Arc) do so well because they have highly diverse characters. Blaz has sub 20 and SSFIV has 39, though many many many many many many many gamers see people like Ken, Ryu, Akuma, Dan (slightly) and such as the same basic character.

Anyways long story short... the more characters you have, the less diverse the cast becomes.

Moerdigan4861d ago

where's the guy with the gas mask? I kinda liked him. and the leader of the samurai nation (sorry. don't remember the names)

DEATHxTHExKIDx4860d ago

the gas mask im gonna say u mean Hanzo and he was revived during the Great ninja war so he's not in generations. Storm 3 will problly have the charecters from the war insted of the past generation charecters and go to the end of the series.

Almir9084860d ago

So are they going to have EMS Sasuke? Or just MS sasuke?

Creating the Perfect Naruto Fighting Game

By owner/editor-in-chief Furious Francis

I am a huge Naruto fan. I’ve been watching the show since 2007 and love every bit of it. Unfortunately the Naruto video games do not touch the level of quality the anime displays. Sure, if you’re a Naruto fan, playing Ultimate Ninja 2 is going to be fun, but the games lack the depth and strategy other fighting games have. Even a party game like Smash Bros has more skill involved with the battle system than most Naruto games. The Clash of Ninja Revolution games do a decent job of building a Tekken or Street Fighter type of game but ultimately fall short because of balancing, shallow depth, and button mashing tendencies. In this article, were going to discuss my vision for a perfect Naruto game. This Perfect Naruto game will not only be accurate to the anime, but will also have deep fighting game mechanics that actually takes skill to master.

Game Guys review - Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations

It seems like six months can't go past without another video game based upon the popular 'Naruto' anime being either announced or released. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, the third in Namco Bandai's Ninja Storm series, came out earlier this year. The title takes some of the better elements of the first two games and adds some original content of its own to provide an above-average anime-inspired video game fighting action experience.

yay Naruto!!! I was 1 of those 1 million to get the game :)

Irishguy954728d ago

I didn't like this one, I thought there new mechanics screwed with each other.

Sub bar/Chakra cancel

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4728d ago

Yea they did. The point of a substitution bar was to promote the use of melee attacks by limiting how often a person can substitute them. But the cancel dash completely kills it because the second you use a substitution you'll be met with the cancel dash. Cancel dashing forces a person to use up all their subs so it's not really wise to use them at all.

omarzy4728d ago

chakra cancel/sub bar were genius. Always kept you at full attention during an exchange. All about the timing and how you use your limited sub bars. charkra cancel can be beaten with another chakra cancel, a grab after sub jutsu, or chakra dash backwards and work out a plan, or just sideways and flip around the player.

Snookies124728d ago

Wow 3 disagrees, really? Generations was the definitive version of Ninja Storm if you were playing multiplayer with friends. 2 did have a vastly superior story mode, but Generations was fantastic as well.

I'm just happy it sold that many units, so we can continue to look forward to more Ninja Storm games. NSUNS:3 looks like it's going to beat them all though, just by that one freaking trailer.

Redempteur4728d ago

Sold my copy this afternoon..
Some problems of ninja storm fixed but this one introduced others .. and it felt incomplete and inférior in term of content.They better do a better job for Storm 3 or they'll not have my money ..

rezzah4727d ago

I`m still waiting for the price to drop down further before I get it.

Though I wish I had it now!!
