The Bitbag writes, "Yesterday, Ubisoft released Shikamaru Nara as a free download through their "Exclusive Content" service for Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. Strangely, the game's official site doesn't reflect the new character, but he's most definitely there. Signing up for a Ubisoft account is free and can be done through the in-game menus. If you own this neat little adventure/fighting game, there's really no reason not to grab the new character, especially since he's one of the coolest in the animé and manga source material. The intro animation to his Jutsu is also well-done, and the finish animation is hilarious."
Gamersyde: "Finally! The Japanese voice pack for Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is available on the Marketplace. For just a tad less than 60 MB you'll finally be able to get some decent voice work for that nice little game. Video of some dialogs early in the game inside".
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, based on VIZ Media's Naruto animation series, will have the voices by the official Naruto Japanese cast available post-launch as free downloadable content on Xbox Live Marketplace.
Naruto: Rise of the Ninja is coming out soon! Xboxkings gives you a list of achievements, to see what you can expect of the game! We already played it on the Leipzig Games Convention, It's a really good game! Definitely for the Naruto fans.
For purists, subtitles are better than dubs. Just think how Sega's Yakuza could've been better with the original Ryu Ga Gotoku voice track. Just! Well, leave it to the French to get it right with Naruto...
