Update: April 14, 2006 at 9:25AM EST NCS has given away all of the bonus Naruto PSP carrying pouches and they are no longer being included with new orders. Thanks for reading. Update: March 30, 2006 «©NCSX» Naruto and friends dash into battle where they pummel each other and perform chakra attacks in free flowing motion. Along with the foreground which serves as a battlefield, the background may be leapt into for avoidance or for tactical maneuvering to mount a new attack. Along with fists and feet of fury, weaponry such as shuriken, bombs, and more may be picked up on the battlefield and then thrown by the fighters to spice up the attack repertoire. Naruto kicks and punches up a storm as he leaps, jumps, rallies, and runs through the varied levels which are inspired by key locations from the wildly popular animation series. The cast members include Sakura, Naruto, Shikamaru, Hinata, Gaara, Rock Lee, and more for a total of 14 characters at the outset and unlockables as objectives are achieved. The characters that are fought and usable in the first few levels of the adventure portion of the game are as follows below. Once they are beaten, they join your ranks. All of the fighters listed below are usable at the outset in the fighting portion of the game: Chouji Akimichi Gaara of the Desert Gai Maito Hinata Hyuga Ino Yamanaka Kakashi Hatake Kiba Inuzuka Naruto Uzumaki Neji Hyuga Rock Lee Sakura Haruno Shikamaru Nara Shino Aburame Tenten Sasuke Uchiha, Kabuto, and seven others are unlocked once the 100-level tower is conquered as follows: Itachi Uchiha Jiraiya Kisame Hoshigaki Orochimaru Sandaime Hokage Shizune Tsunade Controls SQUARE / Shuriken attack CIRCLE / Attack - Press continuously to chain punches and kicks TRIANGLE / Power up chakra X-Button / Jump - Double tap for a second jump higher L1-TRIGGER / Swap weapon R1-TRIGGER / Guard To move to a different plane, press UP or DOWN + X.

NCS Game Notes * The voice actors and actresses from the animation were hired for their talents to provide the speech and exhortations in the game. * At the outset of the game, Shikamaru and Sakura are commiserating when a wind blows and their attention is drawn to a shadowy tower in the distance. A vortex of energy above the tower appears imposing... Naruto crew are charged with scaling the tower, level by level, to reach the apex. * The camera scrolls in and out smoothly as the fighters range close and far on the battlefield. Special attacks are shown in short cel-shaded animated sequences. When two fighters are close together, they fill up a little over half the height of the screen. When they're far away, they fill up approximately 1/8 of the height of the screen. * Ten stages are featured in the fighting portion of the game with many taken from the PS2 Narutimett releases.
