3D Naruto For Nintendo DS

Naruto fans rejoice, as D3Publisher brings Naruto: Ninja Destiny to the Nintendo DS: the first 3D Naruto title on the system.

TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher have announced the upcoming release of Naruto: Ninja Destiny, the first-ever head-to-head 3D Naruto fighting game for the Nintendo DS. Based on VIZ Media's hit animated TV series Naruto, Naruto: Ninja Destiny will pit characters from the hit Naruto series against each other in high-energy combat. Players will use both screens for innovative, unique gameplay featuring trademark ninja moves and the cinematic special techniques of the Naruto world. Naruto: Ninja Destiny is scheduled to ship in February 2008.

"We've listened to the fans and made a slew of improvements to the Japanese original, including a much faster frame rate, additional characters, and never-before-seen content," said Laura Yoshioka, director, consumer software of TOMY Corporation. "Through the innovative use of the dual displays and touch screens, Naruto: Ninja Destiny will bring the series' iconic battles to players in a way that is only possible on the DS."

Players will soon be able to take their ninja battles on the road with Naruto: Ninja Destiny, the first 3D head-to-head Naruto fighter for the Nintendo DS. Any aspiring ninja can unleash powerful jutsu and take advantage of items to brawl his way to victory against 16 different characters. Dual-screen combat will allow fierce battles to unfold on the top screen while power ups can be strategically unleashed on the touch screen for fast, frenetic action. Core fighting game fans and casual gamers alike will find plenty to enjoy, thanks to a combo move system that is both intuitive to pick-up and challenging to master. Featuring scenes, characters, and storylines from up to the 140th episode of the hit animated television series currently airing on Cartoon Network, Naruto: Ninja Destiny offers an intense single-player story and versus mode, along with wireless multiplayer combat.

  I hope they do a lot better job on this than other 3D DS games. One Piece Gear Spirit looks really nice during development phase, but the ending result didn't live up to the hype. The game was in 3D but the character movement and battle system are both stale and blocky. It is a fun game to play but doesn't worth the importing price. On the other hand, Jump Superstar and Jump Ultimate Stars are such a greatly designed series. Fast speed blood pumping battle with smooth attack transition can easily be achieved by 2D sprit-based games.

  I saw a few pics of the game, so I know additional characters is right because Orochimaru is new to the game, the cel-shaded enhancement, everyone has 2 choices of specials, more items, etc. I really shouldn't expect a lot from this game, but I just hope they really are keeping their word.
