D3Publisher of America has "officially confirmed" the information about "Naruto: Clash of Ninja 3" hitting the Wii (which I guess is 1 step above Nintendo's plain "confirmed" article in authority). Here's the official announcement by D3 themselves:
The rumors have been confirmed, but they were only the tip of the iceberg! TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher of America, Inc. (D3PA) today announced the upcoming release of NARUTO: Clash of Ninja MVZ (working title) for Wii -- a head-to-head fighting game with content created exclusively for the North American market! Anticipated to ship in Fall 2007, NARUTO: Clash of Ninja MVZ is based on episodes from VIZ Media’s hit anime series SHONEN JUMP NARUTO and will include characters that have never been featured in the hit Clash of Ninja game series. The game will take advantage of the Wii Remote in fast-paced ninja action for up to four players in nine different gameplay modes.

“For some time we have wanted to give NARUTO fans in North America something they could not find anywhere else, and in NARUTO: Clash of Ninja MVZ we have a game with original, exclusive content that will amaze them,” said Mark Shinohara, executive vice president, TOMY Corporation. “For TOMY, 2007 and the release of NARUTO: Clash of Ninja MVZ will mark a significant milestone in not only our relationship with D3PA, but in TOMY’s expansion in the video game industry.”

“NARUTO proved to be a significant brand on the Nintendo GameCube in 2006 staying near the top of the sales charts from the release of the first Clash of Ninja in March 2006, to the release of the second Clash of Ninja game in September 2006 and through the holiday season,” said Careen Yapp, vice president of licensing and business development, D3PA. “NARUTO: Clash of Ninja MVZ will take advantage of this exciting new entertainment platform and will reach out to a whole new audience for NARUTO.”

The next generation in NARUTO games will include all new character animations, new special attack animations and for the first time new interactive environments. Developed by Eighting, NARUTO: Clash of Ninja MVZ takes advantage of the Wii system by allowing players to launch attacks with the Wii Remote using Ninja-like movements, and features special mini-games created exclusively for use with the Wii Remote.

NARUTO: Clash of Ninja MVZ will include 14 characters -- including some that have yet to be featured in the Clash of Ninja game series. The fast-paced ninja action for up to four players will have nine different gameplay modes including Story Mode, Single Player and Multiplayer modes.

XD now Jammy has to eat his own shoe. I hope this game is good because it has very limited characters ( that is if they're putting secret that they didn't mention.)

Not just yet. I'm still at doubt. In my point of view, they are actually conning you guys with Clash Of Ninja to make more money.
They say "never before seen characters in Clash Of Ninja" when that can basically mean characters which have not yet appeared in CON 1 or 2 but they already exist in 3 and 4. New special animations can simply mean what GNT 3 introduced which was the 2 specials system as well as some new camera angles for the specials such as Kiba and Naruto. New attack animations, i can't think of what this means so i'll give it to them. The interactive environments i will say is new. GNT EX on the Wii introduced the interactive environments so i'm assuming that for CON MVZ they are using the GNT EX engine for the interactive environments.
They also say 14 characters, which they have also said is for the current playing arc for the dub in America. Which to me says that they are simply dragging it out for more money. GNT 3 had all the previous characters plus more making it 29. Now, CON 2 had 21 characters and now with CON MVZ they are reducing it to 14 just so the game plays along with the current arc? Nonsense. What's going to happen is, that when it comes to CON MVZ 2 or whatever, they will probably include all the characters that should of been in CON 3 thus making the customers buy more games. It's like they are just repeating themselves.
And if it's only 14, and so that it plays along the current arc then Zabuza, Haku and such will be gone. CON 3 is supposed to introduce Shino, Tenten, Temari, Choji as well as other characters but if MVZ is having it at 14, then those may not even appear until MVZ 2.
Also before anyone says, this game will not be GNT EX recently released in Japan. That game follows the Shippuden storyline which the dub will not be catching up to quite yet making it impossible for MVZ to be GNT EX. If it really is GNT EX, not only will i be surprised like hell but it also means that they will skip a lot of characters who come in for CON 3 and CON 4.
Closing statements of mine is that it still sounds to me like CON 3 but slightly upgraded to use GNT EX's game engine on the Wii with a bunch of characters took out so they can fit in the interactive environments, clamp the Wii controls onto it and finally claim it to be a "new" game.
As soon as pictures come out and if i am proven completely wrong, then hand on heart i will post up a picture on this forum of me eating my shoe.

[/quote]I agree...
WHAT THE HELL DOES MVZ STAND FOR???? I HAVE NOOOO CLUE!!|
Okay, so this means Itachi,Naruto,Sakura,andSasuke are in rite.... sooooo here's my lineup..(predication time!!)
Itachi/Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura/Kabuto/Tsunade/Jiryia/Shizune(maybe? proably if this is a new game?)/3rdHokage/Orochimaru/Kyuubi Naruto/CS1 Sasuke/Kisame/(unknown, could be the pig dude..forgot his name too or kakashi? proably kakashi....:) According to the current arc this is how it will shape... and something tells me that Cartoon Network(American Naruto) and other T.V. Naruto providers will join w/ these ghys and go to the fillers and make MVZ 3 which will include filler characters... if they do this i would buy it... some characters i really wanted to see on a game but... that never happened plus... that could make MVZ up to at least 50 characters.....
Graphics on this game will proably be aaammmaaazziiinngggg!!! On the wii they would make it like suppppper cooolll!!!!! I cannnooottt wait to see itachi's move!(that is if he has a good voice..) and also i wanted to bring this up...
I think MVZ will make downloadable characters(wii shop thing) if they do this it would be free.. also i would think that if they forget Kiba in MV3(if it happens) and in MV2 they have him i think they will include a download to have him...

Graphically i can't see MVZ looking anything different from it's CON and GNT predecessors. GNT EX which was made for the Wii didn't even use the potential of the console except from giving the game Wii Remote sensor attacks and could of easily been released for the Gamecube.

So this game is definitely not CON 3 and CON3 and CON 4 might not come out at all. Can't wait for that shoe picture Jammy.

not quite.
First question that IGN aksed was about where the story takes place. He replied saying at the end of Chunin exams. GNT 3 did the exact same.
Second question was about attack tweaks. He replied saying about adding in motion sensitivity. This is a simple case of applying GNT EX's motion control system and inputting it into GNT 3.
Third question asked about the motion controls. He replied saying how you move the controls in specials to increase damage. GNT EX did the exact same thing and again it's just a simple case of inputting this system into GNT 3.
Fourth question was about gestures. He replied about character specific movements. See above comments 2 and 3.
Fifth question was about modes. He replied saying all modes present in CON 2 will be there, GNT 3 was the same.
Sixth question was about importing GNT 3 and 4 from the Gamcube. Now he replies and claims that they may not and just concentrate on Wii games for the US. He could be telling the truth or it could be covering up that the fact it's just GNT 3 with Wii controls and slightly altered. Another point could be that a different house developer team is working on the Wii version of GNT 3 and thus according to them, it's not GNT 3 but a whole new game.
Seventh question was about animations. He replies saying that characters will have new animations and new special attacks. GNT 3 was the same.
Lastly was about mini games. He replies saying they will be there. GNT 3 didn't have this, but it's just something small and insignificant which is included so you can use the motion controls.
Closing words of mine. They show a picture of "First look arena concept art", when the Chunin Arena already made it's debut in GNT 2/CON 2. So it's not exactly new is it? And another note is the character portraits in the image gallery. They are the same exact character images which appeared in GNT 3.

Also, some more characters were confirmed in case u didn't know, here's the list....
Gai,Itachi,Kakashi and Naruto
Sasuke should be in it, as well as Jiryia,Kisame,Orochimaru,Tsunade,Shizune(if it's different),Kabuto,Sakura, CS2 Sasuke and OTK as a spoiler character maybe Karasu and the other puppet(spoiler#2) but proably not, could also be Iruka and Mizuki or Itachi and Kisame on a team...

GNT EX has 4 player battles. And OTK Naruto and CS2 Sasuke...are you kidding? They said it takes place during the Chunin exam arc, so CS2 Sasuke and OTK Naruto is completely out of the question.

[/quote] where? they may change it! so they say it don't mean that they mean it... take the example Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... half of the stuff that was shown in E3 2005 was deleted/not supposed to be found...
You never know! plus, they also said Naruto training his rasengan would be a mini-game correct? did Naruto learn Rasengan during the Chuunin Exam Arc? also, if it's released in the fall... the English Naruto should be done/almost done w/ the Sannin Battle.. since we are at the 3rd's Death this week! so, i think they must change it!
