NARUTO: Path of the Ninja 2 for
Nintendo DS Strikes Gold
Latest in NARUTO Role-Playing
Franchise Soon to Perform Shadow Clone Jutsu onto Store Shelves Everywhere
TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher,
publishers of interactive entertainment software, have announced that NARUTO:
Path of the Ninja 2 for the Nintendo DS™ has gone gold and will be shipping to
stores on October 14th. The sequel to the only NARUTO role-playing game
available in North America, Path of the Ninja 2 gives players a chance to defend
the Hidden Leaf Village as 30 of the most powerful ninja in the NARUTO universe
through a completely original storyline.
“There has been a huge progression
between the original RPG title on the DS and Path of the Ninja 2,” said Laura
Yoshioka, director of consumer software at TOMY Corporation. “Between the
expanded character list, the Wi-Fi battle system, and the new squad-building
options, this is an adventure that should appeal to the inner ninja of players
everywhere.”
With 30 characters to choose from,
including favorites like Naruto, Sasuke, and Rock Lee, plus an all-new Squad
Leader and Ninja Tag systems, there have never been more ways to create the
perfect ninja squad. The improved and intuitive battle system will make it easy
for even the newest fighters to get into the combat, using the Touch Screen to
unleash devastating melee and jutsu attacks, while the Wi-Fi multiplayer feature
will offer aspiring ninja the chance to take on challengers from around the
world. Based on VIZ Media’s hit animated series, NARUTO: Path of the Ninja 2 is
scheduled to ship to retail stores on October 14th, and is rated “E10+”
(everyone 10 and older).
