Namco Bandai Ship-pudens new Naruto screenshots

Another year, another Naruto game. Namco Bandai continues its sweet Dragonball-esque milking of the franchise by bringing over yet another Naruto game to the PSP, this time based on the newer Shippuden series. The combat of Akatsuki Rising will feature easier jitsu-based combat, and will also feature a heavy emphasis on story, as evidenced by these screens of the game's cutscenes.

The story will take players through the Gaara Retrieval arc while the titular Akatsuki Mode will let you play as the Akatsuki organization. You can expect it on PSP this fall.
