This game has been confirmed at the recent E3 convention, and is the sequel to Naruto: Rise of a Ninja!

It also features a 2v2 xbox live battle system while PS3's Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm doesn't. there is more news coming out, as well as different gameplay vids besides the demos on youtube.
I would like to hear everyone's thoughts about this game(what we know so far anyways.)

Pfft,looks crap to me. The gameplay doesn't look like it changed from RoaN and the graphics are utter rubbish. Only thing that makes this game look good is the online play and the story mode although Storm is gonna have a story mode similar to it. Imo Storm wins.

but RoaN wasn't crap, i agree that the Broken Bond isnt as innovative as Storm is, but it still holds true to RoaN's basics, which won IGN's fighting game of the year last year.
Storm is probably the better game, but jutsus looks too flashy and takes too long IMO, kakashi's double raikiri takes about 15 seconds out of actual gameplay every time its being used! sure it looks cool as hell, but after a while, it gets old. same with naruto's kyuubi-rasengan. waiting for vids to stop kills me when playing fighting games like dbz, naruto, and stuff like that.
besides, Online play is where its at, i was just playing halo 3 a few minutes ago and RoaN last night! Online play keeps games alive long after the story mode's beaten and you've whooped your friend's asses. we'll see who got more for their $50 in 3 months after its released. i'll be playing Broken Bonds online sometimes while you'll be returning Storm to gamestop for $12.haha.
but seriously, Storm is better looking and longer, so i do have to agree that its most likely the better overall game.

Well yeah Storm is better but the concept wihout it having online play kills the game. Anyway i hope they delay Storm and put online play, or even release a patch On PSN that gives Storm an online mode.
I will be enjoying both since my cousin has a xbox 360 (lives a street away from me) and i have a ps3!!

imo the ps3 one looks heaps better than this and the first one combined

Looking forward to it. Naruto: ROAN was definitely the best Naruto game so far.. Hopefully they'll put more time into this sequal though, since there were a handful of bugs in ROAN.

[S.Haze]

Yeah they have got to get it right now or else they would probably make a third (which islikely since shippuuden is coming to usa soon).

I'm always looking forward to seeing what Ubisoft Montreal have to offer as they make some of the best games. I personally loved Naruto: Rise of a ninja however found it rather short and the combat system lacking somewhat of the anime scenario atmosphere, making the combat dull and simple like any other combat system. However the reason I bought a xbox 360 was for Naruto: Rise of a ninja, although the console itself has made a good asset. I think I will be purchasing this game however from the trailers has let me down on its slight improvement on the combat system comparing it to that of the new up and coming PS3 Naruto game.
