Help name the next Naruto game

by Majed Athab { Feb 27th 2008 at 12:45AM }

Over at the official Naruto fan community, Hokage's Room, Namco Bandai is asking fans of the anime to help them name the new Naruto game for the PS3. The upcoming title is the next in the Ultimate Ninja fighting series and should be coming out later this year.

If you're a Naruto fan, this is an excellent way to get involved with your favorite anime -- especially if you're hyped up for the game. Even if you're not a fan, it might be fun to just drop your suggestion; afterall, how many chances do you have to name a game? It might even lead to a career in game-naming. Perhaps. Check out all the details here.

[Thanks Daisuke!]

Believe it! edition or for the JAP, Dattebayo!. O how that would drive me nuts.

call it "The PS3 exclusive title" to kill off any "Multiplatform" rumors like MGS before it even starts.

"The upcoming title is the next in the Ultimate Ninja fighting series"

... I've officially lost interest. I was hoping this would be a free-roaming adventure game similar to the one released on the 360. Why is the 360 getting all the good Japanese stuff considering their install base in Japan? Garh! Oh well.

From the linked site: Currently, NAMCO BANDAI Games is planning on launching a top-of-the-line, ground-breaking fighting game based on Naruto. The game will be utilizing every drop of the console's superior power and deliver a free-roaming revolutionary multi-dimensional fighting experience to gamers.

BTW, in my opinion, ultimate ninja is the best series of Naruto games. It reminds me of Smash Bros. for some reason. Anyhow...

the next game is ultimate ninja 3. the title suggestion thing is for the Naruto "PS3 Project"

"Kris said...

Uhm ... They're the same game. That's what has me bummed. It sounds like it's just going to be a free roaming fighting game similar to the likes of Budokai.

Are you guys just saying this year because the trailer ends with beginning in 2008? Would be cool to be playing it this year.

Wapanese Anime Fans With Absolutely No Taste Strike Back!
Naruto, Bleach, what utterly terrible shows. Still, the kids love 'em, so I must just be out of touch.

I need some clarification. Are you referring to the anime as seen here in America, or the story, the characters, and the plot of the manga. Well, I guess it doesn't matter. I like the story and the characters, and I know a lot of people do, not just kids. >>>>Key Point: It seems to me that you need to grow up, and not criticize people for liking something. It is like you have a bias toward it for no real reason. If I hadn't read the manga, and had just seen Naruto yelling believe it all day, I would probably agree with you. However, I gave the story a chance. I'll stop my rant. Please don't hate me, because I NEED the internet's approval. :D

Naruto: This Game Will Suck

Naruto: Making Ninjas Look Back Since 1997

We have a winner!

Naruto: The Quickening

JerJerBinks @ Feb 27th 2008 9:13AM

Personally, I think that "Naruto: Market Saturation" would be the best title for their next game.

Ty @ Feb 27th 2008 12:00PM

Ph33r not dudes. There is a complete different Naruto gaming coming in the future based on the NARUTP PS3 Project video....

Ultimate Ninja is just to ensure the developers have enough money for this greater sweet project.

Kabapu @ Feb 27th 2008 12:13PM

.. Check the link. They specifically show the Naruto PS3 Project trailer as a reference to this new Ultimate Ninja game. I'm about 90% sure they're one in the same.

"Naruto: Oh my god this isnt a joke they made another game...i thought this was a prank and someone just took a dump in the case...i think i would have gotten more entertainment out of poop in a case and had a higher resale value."

I think thats the best title for this new game!

Jason Axelrod @ Feb 27th 2008 12:44PM

The Ultimate Ninja series and the PS3 Project are completely different games who are being made by the same developer.

How do I know that Ultimate Ninja 3 and PS3 Project are not the same game? Because I am holding Ultimate Ninja 5 (FIVE) in my hands right now.
