WHOOO!!!! Naruto fans have something more than the slow-moving anime to excite them now!
I am a HUGE fan of Narutimate Hero 3 - I thought the gameplay was awesome, they got the characters down perfectly, and it was insane amounts of fun with a few people.
Narutimate Accel focuses on the new series: Naruto Shippuuden (think Dragon Ball --> DBZ).
Also a fan of the Gekitou Ninja Taisen games, but I can't play the new one on my Wii :x
The game arrived TODAY for me - I'm just itching to fly out of my office and get home to play this.

Returning Narutimate Hero characters
Narutimate Accel also contains a special "Hero Mode," featuring characters and battles from the first half of Naruto. Thirty-six characters from Naruto: Narutimate Hero 3 have been confirmed. These characters will also be able to fight against the new Shippūden characters.
* Naruto Uzumaki
* Sakura Haruno
* Sasuke Uchiha
* Shino Aburame
* Hinata Hyuuga

* Hanabi Hyuga
* Shizune
* First Hokage
* Second Hokage
* Third Hokage
* Yellow Flash (Fourth Hokage)
52 characters!!
In addition to elements established in previous Narutimate games, Narutimate Accel offers several new twists to combat:
* Clash of High-speed Attacks - When two opponents clash, they will begin a series of high-speed attacks, appearing as a pair of blurs dueling across the stage. During this sequence, the players play a simple game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, which will determine the winner of the clash.
* Force of Jutsu Collision - When two jutsus of similair strength collide, it will be possible to push back and overpower the opponent's technique by repeatedly pressing the circle button.
* Awakening Ougis - When certain conditions are met, a character may trigger an Awakening Ougi. These techniques are more powerful than the standard Ougis, and as the name implies, 'awakens' a character's powers (ie. Naruto's Tailed Kyuubi form with super over powering red chakra).
Who's excited for this game??

And I so want to get this, but I'm running low on cash, so I'll have to wait. Probably best, since I heard the RPG mode this time around is pretty complex.
Quick question..from the brief gameplay videos it looks like they went back to each character having 3 Ouigis available to them during fighting. That true?
From what I understand, that's true - very excited for that.

Hell they had Ubisoft make a whole new Naruto game for Wii cause they are so far behind Japan in episodes.
The trailer looks really rockin', and my friends and I have been looking for a new game since we played the ever loving crap out of GNT4.

Nah...too early. :-\
Seriously, can the US just not air the like 80 filler eps... with few exceptions, they suck and have no character development. And I dispise what they have done to some of the translated games to prevent 'spoilers'.
I am a freaking nerd.
I missed the first 3 NH titles, but after playing the monstrous disaster that is "Naruto: Ultimate Ninja" I may have to go get a slim kit of my own >_>
That would be SEX.
That would mean they would catch up with the Japanese. That would mean they would make less money.
I think he means anime related monies... sorta tangent, the only manga based anime that I've ever seen that has had good filler eps that weren't in the manga is Bleach. Anyone else know of another series where this is true?
In any case, I hope we do get this Wii game, spoilers be damned.
I am a freaking nerd.
One Piece had the G8 arc which was pretty damn good but I don't know if it makes up for the horrid Arabasta filler. Slayers also had some awesome filler. Specifically the tennis match and the song Zelgadis had to read to them. However I'm not sure if the Slayers anime was based on a comic because there's like 8 different versions of it out there and I had no idea where to start looking.
I think they might skip the filler, or at least a chunk of it, because the anime JUST finished the Chuunin exam and they've still got at least another year before they even get close to finishing the "Rescue Sasuke who doesn't even want to be fucking rescued" arc and Shippuden will get a decent ways in during that time. Naruto also doesn't air every week on Toonami because they like to show movies that sometimes preempt it.
As for this game, is it wrong I mostly want it just to see time-skip Neji get some action? Seriously Kishimoto, stop getting off to Sasuke and pals and give us some goddamn action with Neji, Shino, and Hinata.
Well, for me it wasn't about the anime (which is mediocre at best), and especially not about the horrid dub. I just found it to be an immensely good manga series.
It's not particularly deep or anything, but it's got a lot of really likable characters, great art, decent narrative, and really interesting action.
Anyway, on topic, I'm not really a big fan of the Narutimate series. I got tired of 3 really quick. I wanna play the new Ninja Taisen game.
Seeing more of those 3 would be nice post time skip, although I'd like more Lee and Guy as well. The male version of sexy no jitsu in a recent issue was fucking disturbing however.

samokii ganja no jutsu
unrelated to the toking frog, i started watching shippuuden and its pretty damn awesome. i hope to god they keep the filler out.

lame. when's the jap release date?
edit: referal link btw.
As to the filler material, I see it going one of two ways: on one hand, it's a lot of episodes, and CN wouldn't want to miss out on airing that many episodes and missing out on any cash it could provide. On the other hand, airing so many episodes with no siginificant progress or development might be detrimental to the show and make viewers stop tuning in. Then again, those in Japan didn't seem to mind very much, and they knew where the manga was at the time.
That's what I was wondering about. I mean, US audiences could be fickle, would viewership drop if CN did air the fillers? I'm pretty sure they will air them, specially since it's just more dvd's they call sell later on.
Actually Naruto lost a helluva lot of viewers in Japan as the fillers went on.
It's one thing to have a couple episodes now and there be filler but seriously. The Naruto fillers went on for like a year and a half. A year and a half of boring pointless episodes with throw away characters and stories.
You would be kidding yourself if you thought that american audiences wouldn't get bored of the fillers if they showed them all. Hell we already have seen the US reactions to the fillers through places like narutofan. The reaction isn't gonna be any different.
I never asked for this!
Naruto as a whole has horrible pacing. You gotta watch like 20 episodes to find anything out.
Well you gotta step back and look at it for what it is. It's a super popular manga series that is all about selling weekly jump mags.
The chapters are all about building up the next episode and making you want to see whats coming next.
I never asked for this!
Before anything else: This game is excellent. It builds on Narutimate Hero 3, while adding more strategy, techniques, and characters. The game starts you out with about 90% of the total characters, which is crazy (and good for early adopters).
The Bad News:
When seeing early footage of the game, I was worried they wouldn't add too much to the roster - I was half* right. The game only has 3 new characters.
Deidara
Scorpion Puppet Sasori
Granny Chiyo
On top of them , there are 3 other unlockables: Itachi, Kisame, and the Yellow Flash (4th Hokage). One thing I'm pissed about - They don't have Sasori in his true form. The game apparently ends right before the conclusion of the "Rescue Gaara" arc. I do-not-understand. There is also no Shippuuden Sasuke, which only kind of makes sense since nobody knows what he can do yet.
The Awesome News:
The game plays like a dream. It's even more fluid and combo friendly than the old game, taking out of lot of frames of invincibility and making the Kawarimi (replacement/log) a bit harder to do.
About 11 other characters, aside from the above, have older Shippuuden counterparts. These characters (Naruto, Gaara, Gai, Sakura, Lee, etc) are completely revamped from the ground up. All their moves are new, they have different combos, and their Super Moves (Ougi) are totally recreated.
*One awesome thing the developers did was to revamp a lot of the OLD characters too! They added a lot of new or altered Super Moves to pre-time-skip characters, keeping them interesting and slightly offsetting the lack of new faces.
Probably the most recognizable difference is the new Super Move system. Instead of having one predetermined Ougi (triangle), each character has about 3! The Chakra meter is now broken up into thirds, each division representing another Super. The first third is always lit in the beginning of the match, representing your primary Ougi. To activate the second, you must hold the <UP> direction and your character will do a little charge/transform animation. Naruto will have red kyuubi, Gaara will float up on a sand cloud, Gai/Lee will release a gate, etc. Now you can activate Triangle and use your secondary (if/usually applicable to character) Ougi.
Some characters automatically reach their secondary Ougi by doing crazy combos. For example - If Neji hits you with a 30 hit combo, he will automatically have Byakugan activated.
The only way to reach your third Ougi is if your Health Meter is in the Yellow (i think that's ~30%). If you have a full chakra meter, your most powerful move is ready for you. It adds a lot of ebb and flow to the matches by limiting your "ultimate" move as a desperate measure. I like it.
Basically, I will never put Narutimate Hero 3 in my Playstation ever again.
No man, Naruto's pacing was pretty bad before, and they generally maintained a pace of about 2 manga chapters per episode. Now it's down to 1 chapter or less on average. They seriously pretty much play entire episodes in slow-motion now. It's funny because they played filler arcs for two years in order to not catch up with the manga, but at the pace they're going now they could have gotten by without doing any.
That's exactly what I wrote, though:
Is the Wii Naruto any good? I haven't really heard anything about it...
my fault, I thought your first sentence was saying... bah, whatever my fault.
Who is this old lady? I don't read the mangas and watch the show off and on.
