Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 revealed, goes multiplatform

by Andrew Yoon on Dec 18th 2009 3:30PM

Namco Bandai is unsurprisingly working on a sequel to Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm. Revealed in the latest issue of V-Jump, the sequel will take place right where the first game left off, at the beginning of the Shippuden series. Not only will the cast of characters be older in the sequel, Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is promising some big new features, primarily 4-player support and a multiplatform release. Yep, unlike the first game, Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 will be released on both PS3 and Xbox 360.

Details are slim at the moment, but with a planned 2010 release in Japan, we'll undoubtedly find out more soon. So long as CyberConnect 2 can expand on the game's depth while keeping its good looks, anime fans will want to keep an eye out for this one.

I hope this one doesn't have the dumbass overworld stuff you have to spend a retarded amount of time in to unlock anything. I just want straight-up fight-to-fight mode.

they need to add haku n zabuza to multiplayer
that was the only thing missing 4 me in the 1st game

Maybe now they'll drop the price of the first game so I can pick it up.

^_^

For the love of Betsy...please if they are going to impliment online play have a decent nigh on lag-free net code. (I vote GGPO)... and now that they will have to have trophy support I am all for this.

Doesn't Sony own the license or something to the Ultimate Ninja Series??

Really hope they add online play this time around. I haven't touched UNS1 in months.

OK, what's your avatar?

BB was the SECOND HALF of UNS. Ps3 owners paid 60$ for 1 game that 360 had to pay 120$ with the 2 games. The only thing the 360 games had was the Online fighting, other then that UNS Looked Better and the Combat was WAY Deeper. If you have ever played the PS2 Naruto Games they had Better combat then ROAN/BB.

Too bad all reviewers preferred the 360 games.

To be honest I couldn't care less if this one gets a sequel on 360. I'd much rather see another Naruto game from Ubisoft, loved Rise of a Ninja and The Broken Bond despite their minor flaws and I think their action-adventure gameplay is perfect for the franchise. Though I'm starting to doubt that'll happen now that we get news about a multi-plat game from Namco.
As far as the visuals go, Ubisoft had a better setting, while Namco had better cel-shading tech for the characters.

Quantum theory and Naruto coming to the 360? it's like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and Tekken all over again.

agreed. and don't like it.

It's not four players, the article only confirms four players for one of the other three titles that are being released in 2010 not the Ps3/360 project. Don't get excited guys, this is CC2.

Thats nice let someone else s Opinion dictate what you like and don't like.

The only thing I really hated about the first one was the "RPG!!" side of it. it had no bearing or influence whatsoever when you fought someone.

I just hope for the second one that the more you train and stuff outside of combat, the stronger you get when you DO fight. doing Chakra exercises and such should give you more to work with in an actual fight, and the more you work out the more health you get in battle. Now that would at least give me more motivation to play the side quests rather than the joy of running around town collecting things for no real reason.

Looking forward to it. 4-player play sounds good.

4-player on the wii was terrible.

This not the Wii nor is it even the same game series.

Or the same developer.

it was just the concept that bothered me. imagine two additional support characters in the arena with the original two. isn't that something like what you'd be imagining? the wii was hectic enough when you had to fight against 3 people. I guess ultimately, i don't what this to become a JUMP superstars kind of game or a Smash Brothers game.

I'll keep an open mind, but i'm not looking forward to 4-P being implemented for a fighting game.

The Naruto fighting games have always been shallow repetitive button mashers that require no skill to play at all.

Give me another Naruto game from Ubisoft, I can't stand Naruto but I LOVE those games.

naruto is about fighting? and the previous naruto games have all had some kind of story in them that wasn't part of the existing story. like in accel 2, you could play as sasuke and "train" at orrochimaru's.

remove support characters please. god awful and annoying.

they should keep them but also have the ability to take them off.

but then what would the button's do if you turn them off? nothing at all? seems like a waste. besides, we really don't have much time to press the d-pad for items. the traditional configuration was better. it was just that the graphics were greatly improved and the arena is now 3d. anyhow, new storm coming yeah?

This is not multiplatform, it's not on the Wii. When it's on the Wii then you can call it multiplatform, until then change the title to: Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 revealed, developed for 360 as well

Seeing as though Multi=Multiple=More than 1 UNS2 Is multi platform and Wii just realesed a Naruto Shippuden game, plus Wii doesn't have the hardware to keep up with what this game has done visually @ all.

"Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2"???...DAAAMN!!! Hell yeah!! I hope it would be beter than the first1...! GREAT game!!!!!!!BUT WE WANT ONLINE FIGHTING!!

Man i am so glad they are making another ultimate ninja storm game especially it being a shippuden game as well!!!!!I just hope that it has all the characters from ultimate ninja 3 and a lot of shippuden characters with devestating combos,jutsus and all the good old features from ultimate ninja 3 and storm including some new ones!!!And create the game were it will be the best naruto game ever made!!!!(so far!)

I do wish that the graphics dont take a huge hit since the 360 naruto game was not fun and had crap graphics.

I wish this game makes the characters as good like in the manga and show so I can own even more with itachi muhahahaha.

I also wish they add online and trophies.

I agree with your entire comment. Make itachi cooler + online and trophies.

I also wish that there could be 2 player vs 2 player like on the wii and gamecube.

Anyone know if the characters on the first one (kimmiaaru third hokage) and other people will not be removed and still be on number 2? Cause my bro really likes kimmaru and i would hate it to be removed.

all i know is it better have the 50 from the first game as all playable, and the 25 new ones as playable!

SOMEONE PLEASE START A WEB PATICITION TO GET THIS GAME ONLINE.

online& more jutsu= all i need ^^man ill F**k you up with kiba see you at the top

is it comming out in america

it will have online apparently and i think its got 40+ characters, and yaaaaaaaaaa i will get it and batter people lol ahahaha
