    That thing requires 4 AAA AND 4 AA batteries....which are, naturally, not included. Hahaha.

    I find it ironic that such a device is not run on spiritual energies or chakra.

    What a novel concept, this seems like an excellent toy to market to the parents of all those 10-14 year old narutards out there as a Christmas gift (I might even get one for my brother if the price goes down), even I dabbled a bit in the learning of hand seals in my younger days.

    You know what's really funny? The fact that someone called this back before Naruto started airing in the US.

    And Yukimura, you are dead to me.

    The batteries are training wheels; once you have learned to channel your chakra properly you won't need them.
    Master Splinter says, "true ninjas need no batteries".

    It looks like the gloves have motion sensors to help you learn the twelve hand seals. That's actually a pretty cool concept. I kind of want one, because I've always wondered how hard it would be to learn those hand seals. Then again, I doubt that the ninja academy caries electronic games, so it's a moot point.

    It's a good thing I'm already married because playing with that thing could severely limit one's chances of meeting women.

    I just saw a commercial for this on tv about 3 hours ago. Seemed intersting but eh ... haha i'm not sure =P. Like samson says, has to do with hand seals and doing them correctly or stuff gets thrown at you.

    shonen has been making weird products lately, it's not unusual that they would make something like this. though, it's sorta priceless for something like this.

    Fuck it all, I don't care. I'm getting those.



    Heh, not really. Seems like a waste of money to me. I'd play it at a friend's house or something (and love it, I admit), but otherwise it's pretty ridiculous. Also, I'm with Stoopider, I say this shows up on Youtube some time in the near future. Looks like VIZ will be getting some free advertising.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Trust me, the seals are difficult to do correctly. Take it from a (former? current? you be the judge) narutard. A lot of those seals bend your fingers in ways that weren't intended by nature I wonder how strict the game is about form? Ah well, who am I kidding, I'm too old to be playing with toys like those...

    {
    "I'll be the best Hokage" shouted Naruto
    }

    it was so stupid...

    What marketing genius thought that up? Can you imagine the sales pitch?

    "Hey parents, wondering what to get your kids for Christmas? Now that they've experienced the comic version, the animated version, and the video game version of Naruto, give your kids the gift that all hyperactive eleven-year-olds love: BOOKS! That's right, books! Everyone knows that children with short attention spans only pretend that they want to spend all day sitting on their asses in front of the TV. What they really love is READING!"

    /sarcasm

    Come to think of it, I read a lot of awful novelizations when I was a kid. They were always gifts, and I damn sure never asked for them. That didn't stop me from reading them. Someone gave me a "junior novelization" of Jurassic Park when I was a kid. A book that was turned into a movie got turned back into a book based on the movie then dumbed down for children. You can imagine the literary brilliance.
