Game: Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm

[darkshadow]

Yeah but this is CyberConnect2. From Narutimet Hero 2 and onwards, the games have always had the maximum character roster from the anime plus any new additions from further arcs and also hidden characters (4th Hokage, Hinata's sister, Kurenai, etc.).

At least these guys are better than Tomy...I still can't get over the poor roster from Clash of Ninja Revolution for Wii.

Well the thing is, for the ps2 games, they always already had a very strong base of chars, but now they had to remake everything and update the engine, so 25 now, and a plausible 25 for the next game isn't bad at all, maybe they'll add the missing chars via DLC

So far there are 14 confirmed chars and 23 unconfirmed, which ofcourse 12 of which will be missing.
The confirmed ones are:
naruto
sasuke
sakura
kakashi
gai
lee
neji
gaara
shino
tenten
chouji
shikamaru
jiraiya
orochimaru

The unconfirmed ones are ( in order of appearance ):
hinata
kiba
zabuza
haku
kabuto
anko
kankuro
temari
sandaime
ino
konohamaru
hanabi
itachi
kisame
kurenai
asuma
tsunade
jiroubu
kidoumaru
tayuya
sakon
kimimarou
yondaime

I think the sound 5 pretty much have to be in, and with gaara, so should temari and kankurou, then the rest i think could be; itachi, kisame, zabuza and haku/tsunade.
That makes 25, just 12 more and we would've had everyone.... cept ofcourse ebisu, rin, dosu, zaku, iruka, mizuki, hayate, baki and uzuki.

I kept those out cause they have never appeared in any of the cc2 naruto games( iruka and mizuki have been in the Tomy ones).

But yeah, here is hoping to DLC down the road.

Ok small update, now there are 19 confirmed chars and 18 unconfirmed, which ofcourse 12 of which will be missing.
The confirmed ones are:
naruto
sasuke
sakura
kakashi
gai
lee
neji
gaara
shino
tenten
chouji
shikamaru
jiraiya
orochimaru
hinata
kiba
ino
kisame
temari

That means only 6(!) more left, well with kisame, itachi pretty has to be in...right?, but then what about tsunade, kankurou, haku en zabuza? does this mean no sound 5?
Or just sound 5 and itachi as the final 6?
They'd better get the rest of the chars in via DLC, cause the roster feels pretty weird seeing how it goes up till ep 135.

Wasn't the demo for the US supposed to go up today? I was browsing around gametrailers and apparently its already up on the EU Playstation Network.

I wanted to post an updated on the game yesterday concerning the leipzig build, cause a friend of me is there, but i got lazy so thx for the vid, anyway small update, now there are 23 confirmed chars and 14 unconfirmed, which ofcourse 12 of which will be missing.
The confirmed ones are:
naruto
sasuke
sakura
kakashi
gai
lee
neji
gaara
shino
tenten
chouji
shikamaru
jiraiya
orochimaru
hinata
kiba
ino
kisame
temari
Tsunade
Itachi
Kabuto
Kimimaro
That means only 2(!) more left, he also told me konohamaru was in the game, but he didn't know if he was actually playable, but then who could the final 2 characters be? i'm guessing Zabuza and Kankurou.
Though it doesn't really matter i guess, we are bound to get the rest via DLC.
