TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher of
America, Inc. (D3PA) today announced that NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution for
the Wii home video game system and NARUTO: Path of the Ninja for the Nintendo DS
have shipped to retail outlets. Based on episodes from VIZ Media’s hit series
SHONEN JUMP NARUTO, both games will be featured in a launch event, Saturday,
October 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Nintendo® World Store in New York’s
Rockefeller Center. NARUTO fans will be able to play in game tournaments and
witness a professional Ramen Noodle Eating Contest, using chopsticks, featuring
some of the world’s most renowned competitive eating athletes in an event
sanctioned by Major League Eating (MLE).
NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution
provides fighting game fans and NARUTO followers with the best fighting game
available for the Wii, and NARUTO: Path of the Ninja delivers the classic RPG
experience that NARUTO fans have been missing,” said Mark Shinohara, executive
vice president, TOMY Corporation. "We are very proud to be launching these
original games in the US first, both deliver experiences that will satisfy both
gamers and NARUTO fans alike."
Our NARUTO releases for Nintendo
systems have proven to be huge titles for us, topping the sales charts time and
again and we expect that NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution and NARUTO: Path of
the Ninja will continue that track record,” said Bill Anker, vice president of
business development and licensing, D3PA.
Developed by Eighting, NARUTO: Clash
of Ninja Revolution includes all new character animations, new special attack
animations and for the first time new interactive environments. The game takes
advantage of the Wii system by allowing players to launch attacks with the Wii
Remote using Ninja-like movements, and features special mini-games created
exclusively for use with the Wii Remote.
NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution is
rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB and will include 20 characters – including some
that have yet to be featured in the Clash of Ninja game series. The fast-paced
ninja action for up to four players will have nine different gameplay modes
including Story Mode, Single Player and Multiplayer modes.
NARUTO: Path of the Ninja is the
first Role-Playing Game (RPG) for NARUTO in North America and features a unique
time based combat system in which players must determine each character’s
strengths and use them accurately to help them defeat the enemy. Choosing from
six available characters, players will be able to explore the Village Hidden in
the Leaves and the world of Naruto as they roam across forests, fields, rivers
and mountains encountering bosses that they defeat by using over 90 different
special techniques.
Developed by TOSE, NARUTO: Path of
the Ninja is rated "E 10+" for cartoon violence by the ESRB.
