A whoppingseventy-twoof them, in fact, and that’s just counting the playable characters. The number swells considerably when you look at support-only characters and move-set variations on the same character (there are several versions of Sasuke alone). Pretty much everyone capable of chucking some chakra is going to be in brawling it outNaruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations. Just look at that trailer. More ninjas than you can shake a shuriken at!
I’m excited already, and that’s not just because I regularly cover the show for Japanator’s weeklyFighting Fridaycolumn.I reviewed the previous installment, and it was, frankly speaking, one of the best licensed games – anime or otherwise – you could ask for. It’s gorgeous, accessible, a blast to play, and has, of all things to have for afighting game, a great solo campaign. Even non-fans should give it a look.
The game comes out February in Japan and on March 13th and 30th in the US and Europe, respectively. Check out a full rosterhere.
