CyberConnect 2 president to cosplay as Naruto in Marathon de Paris to celebrate game sales

10 million copies of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden games shipped

Naruto is the new Dragon Ball. With 10 million copies of games based on the popular anime and manga series shipped worldwide since 2003, developer CyberConnect2 and publisher Namco Bandai Games are celebrating good (and profitable) times.

According to an announcement made by Namco Bandai, CyberConnect2 president Hiroshi Matsuyama is so pumped, that he plans to run the Marathon de Paris while dressed as the world’s most unpredictable ninja. We like the idea of the president of a large development studio running through Paris while cosplaying as Naruto. It's certainly one of the most bizarre promotional stunts we've heard of. Hopefully, Matsuyama will make sure to hold his arms back while running the marathon like all popular anime protagonists in a big hurry.

Also announced by Namco Bandai, are plans for a collaboration between the Naruto Shippuden game series and the trading card game, with more details expected when Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations ships on March 13, 2012. You can see the latest screenshots for the latest Naruto fighter in our gallery below.

    I think Asura's Wrath and Solatorobo when I hear CyberConnect 2. Man, I want to play those games.

    Can One Piece become the new Naruto (even though its technically older) so that I can get a good, HD One Piece game in America? Please?

    The Translators in America did the dub terribly. Everywhere but America, One Piece is extremely popular. 01 -- One Piece: 37,996,373 02 -- Naruto: 6,874,840 03 -- Blue Exorcist: 5,223,712 04 -- Fairy Tail: 4,701,596 05 -- Toriko: 4,665,634 06 -- Gintama: 4,415,491 07 -- Bakuman: 4.,399,938 08 -- Bleach: 4,187,258 09 -- Kimi ni Todoke: 4,109,481 10 -- Gantz: 4,056,981

    Love the Ultimate Storm games. Fun, flashy stuff.

    I love the Naruto video games, but they tend to get boring to fast.
  • MetroidPrimeRib - January 13, 2012 5:16 p.m.

    Naruto is shit.

    Did you really need to say that? I get it, your not a fan. Don't bash something that's not for you. This site is waaaay to good for that.
  • MetroidPrimeRib - January 13, 2012 8:47 p.m.

    Yes I do. Deal with it, it's bad.
  • Dadyo238 - January 15, 2012 7:19 p.m.

    I'm trying really hard not to hate you, MetroidPrimeRib.
