Naruto

The anime goodness that is Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is now available for all to enjoy as the Japanese demo is now up on the PSN. Naruto fans have no doubt been anticipating the release of the demo after it was teased a few weeks ago but now everyone can get their hands on what could be the best anime video game ever made.

This week’s episode features a change of hands in terms of show host. Robert takes the lead in the discuss giving me a much needed break from trying to harness the madness that formulates from a group of drunk geeks getting together to rant about video games (while allowing me drink far more than usual). The show features talk on some of the big announcements from this week, including but not limited to: Sonic 4, The Prison Break Game, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, and Hamlet.

A while ago images from a Japanese magazine were scanned to show the first hint that there was going to be a follow up to Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm. True confirmation didn’t show up until today in the form of an official press release, images, and trailer from Namco/Bandai. It’s very good to see that things seem to be progressing rather quickly for the game, after a two year hiatus from the original, and that we should be seeing the title this fall.

Naruto is hitting the Wii in yet another game and this time it’s Naruto Shippuden Ryujinki.  I have no clue what the hell is going on in this trailer as my knowledge of Naruto is limited to watching a few episodes on the Cartoon Network but quickly giving up due to the constant filler episodes. 

From what I can see in the trailer all the characters one would want in a Naruto game are present such as the pervy guy with the long hair, that pale fish looking guy and of course some other ninja peeps who I have no clue what their names are.
