The Naruto: Clash of Ninja series (known in Japan as Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen) is a series of 3D cel-shaded fighting games based on the popular manga and anime series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto. They are developed by Eighting and published by D3 Publisher and Tomy. Various installments of the series have appeared on both Nintendo's GameCube and Wii. Four games are available for the GameCube and two are available for the Wii. The first two installments are available in the United States and in PAL regions, with a third released on October 23, 2007 as a North American exclusive.A fourth game, also exclusive, is scheduled for release in the fall of 2008.[1] All other installments have been released in Japan.

Each installment of the series has had numerous methods of play with varying types of modes.[2] New games have introduced additional modes that generally appear in subsequent games. The player directly controls a character taken from the Naruto series, and uses their unique abilities to battle and defeat an opponent.[2] New games in the series include more of the Naruto plotline in a "story mode," and it generally stays true to the source material. As a result, the character selection increases with each installment due to the inclusion of more of the Naruto plotline. With the newer games incorporating Naruto: Shippūden, the second part of the Naruto series, many of the characters have been substantially redesigned, and the selection correspondingly limited. Reactions to each installment have been mixed, with many praising the simple and easy-to-learn fighting system,[3] with others lambasting the fighting system, and the lack of significant unlockable content.[4]

Gameplay

In each game of the series, the player controls one of many characters directly based upon their counterparts in the Naruto anime and manga.[4] As in practically all fighting games, the player then pits their character against another character controlled by the game's AI or by another player, depending on the mode that the player is in.[4] [2] For instance, Naruto Uzumaki is able to use his signature Shadow Clone Technique, and Rock Lee utilizes many of his Strong Fist style techniques.[5] To use these techniques, characters have available a chakra bar, which depletes upon the execution of a special technique. Each game in the series also possesses numerous modes that offer different styles of play. The game's story mode generally follows the plot from the anime and manga, with a versus mode pitting two players against each other also included.[2] Each game in the series adds new modes, as well as incorporating new features into the game. Early games feature unlocking characters by using a Shop and obtaining money in fights. Most of the games feature an 'Omake' bonus section which contains music, sound effects and character models.

GameCube

Naruto: Clash of Ninja

Naruto: Clash of Ninja (known in Japan as Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen!) is the first installment of the Clash of Ninja series and the first Naruto game released in Japan and North America. It was released in Japan on April 11, 2003.[6] The game was announced along with its sequel, Clash of Ninja 2, on October 27, 2005 for a 2006 release in North America,[7] which was released on March 7, 2006.[6] The game's plot follows from Naruto's graduation from the Academy to the start of the Chunin Exams.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2

Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 (known as Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 2 in Japan and Naruto: Clash of Ninja European Version in Europe) is the second installment of the series. It was released in Japan on December 4, 2003.[8] It was announced alongside its prequel, Clash of Ninja, for a 2006 release in North America,[7] which was then released on September 26, 2006.[8] The game follows the plot of the series, in story mode, starting from Naruto's graduation from the Ninja Academy to the end of the Chunin exams. The game retains the characters from the first installment, and added characters from the Chunin Exam arc. This installment allows four players to fight in multiplayer at the same time.[9] Unlockable features in this game are acquired by accomplishing certain tasks to add them to the game's shop, and then using money won in fights to buy access to the features.[10]

Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 3

Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 3 is the third installment of the Clash of Ninja series. The game was announced on August 3, 2004, and released in Japan on November 20, 2004.[11] The game covers the events of the anime from the Chunin Exams to the Search for Tsunade arc. This installment introduces the ability to change forms during combat.[11] In addition, the game adds on to the tag-team mode from Clash of Ninja 2, granting the player the ability to use team specials.[11] This game keeps the shop feature from Clash of Ninja 2, although its sequel, Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4, loses this feature.

Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4

Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4 is the fourth installment of the Clash of Ninja series. It was released in Japan on November 21, 2005. It covers the events from the Return of Itachi arc to the Sasuke Retrieval arc. The game also introduces the ability for multiple characters to fight one another at once, ranging from a 2-on-2 match to a 4-way brawl.[12] Most noticeably, the game does away with the shop feature, and unlockables are now acquired by simply meeting certain criteria in the game's new Mission mode. Mission mode forces the player to fight increasingly stronger opponents under specific circumstances and with different methods of winning in order to complete each mission.

Wii

Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX

Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX is the fifth installment of the Clash of Ninja series. This game is the first Gekitou Ninja Taisen! game to be released for the Wii in Japan, and was released in Japan on February 22, 2007.[13] The game uses the Wii Remote by waving the controller in different directions, but the GameCube controller and the Wii Classic controller can be used with the game as well. The game takes place during the Naruto: Shippūden series, specifically the Rescue Gaara arc. The game replaces the cast of characters in the previous games with a new set based specifically on the Shippūden series.

Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX 2

Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX 2 is the sixth installment of the Clash of Ninja series, as "Revolution" was simply the US release of Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 3 for the Wii. It was released on November 29, 2007. This will be the first Naruto Shippūden game to feature time-skip Sasuke Uchiha as a playable character. New characters known are Sai, Yamato, and the return of others like Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya. Characters such as Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Choji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara and Asuma Sarutobi will be returning in their time-skip forms. Naruto and Sasuke will also be playable in their pre-time-skip forms. Two new features will be included in the game. The first, "Danger Zones", are hazards on stages that can hurt the player's character when encountered (for example, spikes on cliff walls). The second feature included is a new hand seal mechanism, which can be used by the player to raise their character's attack power or chakra, and for some characters, an in-game transformation.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution, which had a working title of Naruto: Clash of Ninja MVZ,[14] is an installment of the Clash of Ninja series and was released on October 23, 2007.[1] It is the first Clash of Ninja game released on the Wii in English, and was originally a North American exclusive.[1] The PAL version was released in Europe on March 28 2008 and May 8 2008 in Australia. The game features 20 playable characters, and 8 multi-tier stages.[15] Also in an interview, a representative has also stated that some characters not featured in Naruto: Clash of Ninja and Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 are featured in the game.[14] Clash of Ninja Revolution covers the events of the Chunin Exams arc to the end of the Search for Tsunade arc.[16] Clash of Ninja Revolution uses the same gameplay engine as Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX.[14] The game utilizes the Nunchuk accessory for the Wii Remote, for basic attacks and for special attacks that require specific movements from both items.[14] The Classic controller and GameCube controller are also compatible with the game.[14]

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, announced in the July 2008 issue of Shonen Jump as a sequel to 2007's Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution, is set to be released in October 2008 for the US. It will also be the second Clash of Ninja game to be released on the Wii in English, as well as being another North American exclusive. The new characters confirmed thus far are Kiba Inuzuka (who was previously in Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2, but later was missing from the first Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution), Choji Akimichi, One-Tailed Naruto, Cursed Seal Level 2 Sasuke, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, (who is an original character created just for Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2), Awakened Hinata, and Anko Mitarashi. [17][18][19] This game is also expected to carry the Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4 character roster, but still no word on this yet. [20] The game will have at least 35 characters, a storyline exclusive to the United States with 24 missions, at least 15 multi-tier stages, a new mission mode with 300 missions, balancing changes for certain characters, newly recorded voice acting and a few minor tweaks. [17][21] The game will be based from when Sasuke leaves the Leaf Village up to the current US anime. It has been confirmed that players will again be able to use the Gamecube controller and Classic controller in addition to the Wii Remote by itself, and the default Wii Remote with Nunchuk add-on just as in the original Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution.[17] The developers have stated that they are considering team battles, but that they have decided against online play to focus on rebalancing the characters and perfecting the game's story mode. The game introduces for the North American audience the hand seal mechanism from Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX 2, which characters can use to gain chakra or boost their attack power temporarily. [17]

Playable characters

The characters in the Clash of Ninja series are directly based upon characters taken from the Naruto manga and anime. Each game introduces a new set of characters, with their appearance and abilities derived directly from the source material. As Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX and its sequel, Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX 2 take place during Naruto: Shippūden, which is two and a half years after the initial storyline, the characters' appearance is significantly different. As such, many characters in the GameCube games differ drastically from their Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX and Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! EX 2 counterparts.

Reception

Clash of Ninja has received mixed reactions from critics. Metacritic, a website that compiles scores from numerous video game publications, gave Clash of Ninja a 72/100.[41] IGN lauded the game's battle system as "very balanced, amazingly quick, and still a lot of fun."[3] In addition, IGN commented on Clash of Ninja's "impressive visuals" and "strong audio."[3] Conversely, GameSpot provided a more negative review, deriding the game's different modes as "seriously boring and predictable," as well as criticizing the lack of significant differences in the playing style of the game's characters.[4] G4's X-Play gave Clash of Ninja two out of five stars, lambasting the fighting engine as "ridiculously basic," and "shallow."[42] It also criticized the lack of a story or use of cutscenes or extras.[42] GameSpy also commented on this, noting that "considering the charm of the source material, [the game] is really a disappointment."[43]

Critical reaction for Clash of Ninja 2 has been similar to its predecessor, with mixed opinions from critics. Metacritic compiled a "universal score" of 74/100 from 22 reviews for Clash of Ninja 2.[44] X-Play criticized the game for its limited two-player game and similar fighting styles of the characters. They did, however, praise the game's four-player mode and animation, commenting that it "[nailed] the look of the cartoon characters," and referred specifically to the characters' special techniques animation as "remarkably impressive."[45] IGN agreed with this assessement, noting the game's "sharper look" and "overall depth."[46] GameSpot, echoing its sentiments with Clash of Ninja, called the fighting system "simple," to the point that it made the game's expanded roster "irrelevant," and the game "not very satisfying to play." [47] Although GameSpot remarked favorably on the game's "high-energy Japanese-themed background music," it criticized the "obnoxiously repetitive" voice acting, and its constant presence in the game. It went on to remark that Clash of Ninja 2 "ultimately [did] little to improve upon the original," and felt more reminiscent of an "upgraded game than a true sequel."[47] IGN heavily disagreed, claiming that although the game was similar to the original, it had a "ton of added depth" in the fighting system and character options.[46] IGN lauded the game's characters' "depth and complexity" as "awesome," and "a blast to play."[46] GameSpy focused on the game's four player multiplayer, comparing it to the best-selling Super Smash Bros. Melee and that it was a "recipe for plenty of fun."[48] Like its predecessor, Clash of Ninja 2 achieved the 250,000 unit sales benchmark, earning it a spot in Nintendo's Player's Choice games.[49]

Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3, 4,,EX, and EX 2 have not received reviews from major English video game publications due to not being released outside of Japan. A few magazines have reviewed the Japanese games, one such magazine being NGamer. They gave good scores for GNT4 and GNTEX.

As with previous incarnations of the series, Clash of Ninja Revolution received a high score from IGN, who noted the game as "fun whether you're a fan of the anime or not", and went on to name it the best Wii fighting game to date, giving it an 8.4 as the final score.[50]

The publication Nintendo Power gave Clash of Ninja Revolution a 7 out of 10, calling the game a mere roster update from previous versions. [51]
