IGN:

"Many of you might have had the opportunity to try out the recent Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm demo that found its way onto the PlayStation Network. After all, the game features super slick animation, fast gameplay and some of the most fun ninja awesomeness that Naruto fans have ever seen, so it's an appetizing item. Ultimate Ninja Storm also marks the first time the Naruto franchise hits the PlayStation 3, so I was very excited to check out the game at this year's E3. Fortunately, the game was not only playable at the show but featured a virtually full cast of characters and new stages. Needless to say, I had a very enjoyable time playing the title."

So many of you have seen the videos and some of you have even played the demo. A lot of you don't like anime, but everyone can agree that this game will be something special. That is... if it has online multiplayer.

I know everyone online always has to be a pessimist to feel cool, and you all are just itching to say things like "petitions do nothing" but honestly think about it for a minute. It takes about 10 seconds of your time to sign it. And if it works, you get to have have many years of fun with this amazing game. Without online, you'll only have a few days, or maybe weeks, of fun. Petitions don't always work, I agree. But they have worked before and if you can just spare those 10 seconds of your life, this one might work too.

Use the power of N4G for good. Sign it!

The guys over at Saiyanisland have reported new details of Namco Bandai's promising title. Among the array of details, the article also stated that there will be free-roaming (I am guessing something similar to Naruto: Rise of a Ninja on the XBOX 360). According to Namco Bandai the player will be able to "investigate every inch of the Hidden Leaf Village in open-world exploration and revel in high definition graphics that surpass traditional hand-drawn animation."

Let us hope Namco Bandai keep to their promise because this title looks like it might be a big one!
