Naturally, it won't be the last last trailer, seeing as we're a few weeks from the actual launch of *deep breath* Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm: Generations. Namco Bandai will surely release a last burst of promo power to if only to remind you that March isn't entirely about Yakuza: Dead Souls, the Shogun 2 expansion, Ninja Gaiden III, Tales of Graces, and, er, Mass Effect.
But! Will their last-gasp trailer be nine minutes long, like this one is? Will it have information and footage of practically every single feature their deliciously flashy fighter will have on offer? Probably not! So if you watch just one trailer about this thing, it should be this one.
The only thIng I disliked about NUNS2 was the ommision of the battle intros from the first, I really enjoyed the Pre-battle banter so hopefully is back for this one.
Hmph, you don't consider Kid Icarus worth mentioning?
All kidding aside, I just can't follow Naruto anymore. After the whole "Let's make a giant war and introduce way too many characters who you can't care about..."
I dunno, it just seems stupid to me.
I wish this series was still in the 2D the PS2 games were. BUT I keep hearing good things about the newer games so I might check this one out. In other Namco related news, HNNNNNNGGGG TALES OF GRACES F!
No... no you can't put two colons in one title can you? That's just insanity. Or stupid. Like a million episodes of some idiot working out in a spaceship that has several times earths gravity pressing upon him.

When your main character is a "ninja" who wears a bright, glowing orange jumpsuit to war and not die, and then make friends with the enemy by "relating to them" and telling them your whole backstory every single time, nothing has to ever make sense. There's nothing you can't do. You can't, and are not allowed to question it. Also, if your main character has really spiky hair that defies the law of gravity (See Dragonball series), or spend an entire, sometimes two or three, episode going on a flashback to tell a major plot, and not have anything done in that said episode (see Yu-gi-oh, Naruto, Bleach, and almost every action anime out there), never question them or else something horrible will happen to your brain and logic thinking.

Just be happy you're not following Detective Conan. That show has been on air for a bajilliom years now, and still going (well, maybe. I saw new episodes as recent as August of last year)
@the trailer
Looks awesome!! Out of the games mentioned in March, this is the one that I'll def buy day one! This series is actually a pretty good 3D fighter, and the graphics are really awesome.
@ Kamikaze
It doesn't have an end at the moment.
But who cares, there are comics series that run since 60 years over multiple creators and everything is connected. Naruto will surely end before the creator dies :P
i love this series, played the last one a lot. and I'm looking forward to this one! will be amazing. but funny thing is, i don't like naruto. One Piece is way better. i would kill for a one piece fighting game like this!
Dem animations. If anything the game looks pretty as hell and flashy as all get out. I enjoyed the first two, but they're going to have to do a better job with singleplayer to get me to sink money on this.
I'm glad I'm not the only one totally lost in current Naruto chapters/episodes. I mean, unholy hell, how is anyone supposed to keep track of anything with new characters, old dead characters, and constant scene changes happening every five seconds? I don't even know what the fuck happens in most of the fights anymore. Sad thing is I still feel compelled to finish it--Naruto meant a lot to me in my teenage years.
Naruto is almost certainly in its last hundred chapters, if I'm any judge. The ninja war is almost over, what must surely be the final battle with Madara is about to start, and that just leaves wherever the hell they're going with Sasuke to finish things off.
If you think Naruto is hard to follow, just look at Bleach; they spent two years of chapters covering a few hours of fighting, polished off every last story and character arc and appeared to close the series, before carrying it on with a storyline that seemed to be starting the series over again, before announcing in the latest chapter that we're actually entering the final story arc. It's an abysmal mess.

This looks a little closer to NUNS 1, which is a good thing.
All kidding aside, I just can't follow Naruto anymore. After the whole "Let's make a giant war and introduce way too many characters who you can't care about..."
I dunno, it just seems stupid to me.
The game looks great though
Goddammit, anime. Just Goddammit.

There are several One Piece fighting games already.
"One Piece Kaizoku Musou" is exactly what you want :D
okay, that's all well and good and all, but what about that part in naruto where he *face explodes*
