Character cutbacks...

[CJUchiha]

I wonder, why did they take out Zabuza, Haku, and Choji's Butterfly Transformation in Storm? Those would have made some pretty good characters in Storm. What do you guys think?

[teamfireyleader]

It would have been graet with them, but what i think they missed mainly is that Gaara's awakening is "Brutal sand Mode"

[Mendark13]

We never know what the creators of*Naruto Ultimate Ninja storm*are thinking they might have something up there sleeves for us Naruto Fans. And I also agreed with Brutal Sand Mode, maybe the half Shukaku half Gaara would make a slow character.

Maybe, but it would work out if the half shukaku form was only for the younger gaara, wouldn't that work just peachy?

Also, i reaaaaaallllyyy wanted chouji butterfly, i was so looking forward to seeing what that finisher looked like...

And without zabuza, haku, and the sound 4. That makes me a sad panda. But maybe if they love us they'll give us things like this in dlc, it'll come with the support characters and we will be happy, maybe some big surprises like new stages and playable characters will come with them. I just hope.. thats all.

I think the reason for this, and THE ONLY reason for this, is because this is the first Naruto game for the ps3.

They want to see how many people are interested, how they market this game, and basically leave room for another sequel.


I mean, the online, trophy support, and all that is probably missing on purpose. The next game will have ALOT more content and will be better in the first.

That way, they make money and also please the fans. If they were to go ALL out with this game, the sequel might not match up to it, but also it's hard to make a perfect game first try. I mean first try as in a new console.

So don't be glum if it didn't please you all the way, but there's always the future.

[CJUchiha]

I sure hope that's the case, cause as awesome as the game is, it just seems like there's a huge hole when they skip from Team 7's test with Kakashi to the Chunin Exam. I mean, the Land of Waves arc is pretty important (i.e., Kakashi and Sasuke reveal Sharingan for the first time, Naruto's first Nine-Tails transformation, etc.), and to me it's basically like saying Haku and Zabuza had no important influence or connection to the story when in fact, Zabuza was in the same group as Akatsuki Kisame and Naruto actually remembered Haku's words while fighting Gaara.

But then again, maybe I'm getting a little too canon-sentimental or something... /:\

your right tetsu. i mean the first game on a new console isn't always going to have what you want. 25 chars was good for a ps3 system. and i don't think people realize that making and adding things to the game takes money. its not like a ps2 game where you add konohamaru for fun. from playing bandai's naruto games, i noticed that ult 3 was add ons and they just made the ougi's and movesets different. and since they are now working with psn, they are now adding dlc for the games. so expect the shippuden version to have all the storylines, more jutsu's, more chars more unlockables, and better boss battles.BB was better because the had rise of ninja as there first naruto game and they added better features and got what the fans asked for. but bandai has a better understanidn of naruto so they did tthe game with H-D graphics. basically they get the fans opinions and they work it out with the produversand they talk it over storm had all the fan favorites in it as far as chars. WHY DO YOU THINK THE HOKAGE HAD THE STORM FULL REVIEW AS A MISSION??* its obvous they want to take our reviews and want to add what you wanted like mor chars and all the story artcs. so bandai has no excuse not to include all the shippuden arcs in the second game. if they take all of the naruto fans advice to add to storm 2 it will be the best naruto game ever. expect storm 2 to be better.

[Ninetailed-cursemark]

actually they were just all around lazy lol why are you all defending them.

[Kopusu]

So ninetailed-cursemark, you seem to know alot about making video games. Could you program me a character the way they are done in Storm -*If I gave you like a month? I definetily don't think you could. I also think that you should study a little more*economics first and then judge Bandai's actions. Everything they have done is clever, any way you look at it. Starting from the first trailer. There seems to be no way to explain the facts to anyone. You just don't get these things. It's*certain that they have gotten much more clients now for the next Storm. If they had just made another sequel to the Ultimate Ninja series, the way the previous games are made, the Naruto games would just fade out. Now that they used their energy for making an amazing scenery, it attracts more attention. The next time they'll use their energy mainly to add content. If they would have just "added more characters" for the spoiled brats who don't get anything from anything, Bandai would have lost their dignity forever. I am so thankful for them. And I laugh and rage my * off because of these 10-year-old young gentlemen who say nothing else than*"mommy I want more characters!"

They are lazy, and more content could have been added. They had 2 full years to do anything they wanted, and even delayed the game from October to November. It's not like they didn't have experience with these games, seeing as how they released 7 Naruto games before this one. ( Naruto: ultimate ninja 1, 2, and 3. Naruto uzumaki chronicles 1 and 2. Naruto shippuuden accel 1 and 2) It's nice that they took the time to even make a game like this, but if they wanted, they could have held it off for a couple of months before even announcing it, to make it better.
