Namco Bandai Games have announced that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is going to be localized into English and see a release on both Playstation 3 and XBox360 video game systems in Spring 2013. The title will be the first Naruto game for home consoles to offer visuals in 3D for ultimate Ninja immersion.
NARUTO Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 will feature the most extensive character roster of any game so far in the series, letting fans engage with a huge number of their favourite personalities from the NARUTO universe, be they friend or foe. In story mode, players will be thrown into a series of thrilling adventures set in the village of Konoha, while the game’s electrifying fights will be punctuated with massive scale boss battles, including a fearsome confrontation with the gargantuan Nine-Tails.

Even though there are of course many, many fans in Japan, the Naruto games are also incredibly popular with European gamers, so we’re honoured and very pleased to be debuting the title at Japan Expo. Every one of CyberConnect2’s Naruto titles is fantastic and we can’t wait for fans to see this one.

After I tried my hardest to finish the Paris Marathon in April but just couldn’t make it, I feel like I owe something back to this amazing city. So I’m very excited to be presenting the first ever hands-on of our newest Naruto game at Japan Expo today. It’s the perfect way to say thank you to the people of Paris and Europe for all their support!
