Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm

My apologies for not posting this earlier guys. Apparently the guys over at Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 are planning on bringing us the 6th installment to their Narutimate Hero series of video games based on the highly-popular Naruto franchise. The battles will apparently play out in a more cinematic fashion than in the past. Gameplay is no longer restricted to a 2D playing field and the stages will each have multiple levels or areas which you can fight in with varied interactivity depending on the surroundings. The game's storyline will cover the first half of the series before the Shippuuden arc, which means it will likely end with the climatic Naruto vs. Sasuke fight at the Valley of the End. The following are actual in-game shots:

And here is the latest US trailer for the game with the Jump Festa 2007 debut trailer from Japan below:

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm is set to be released exclusively for the PS3 sometime later this year.
