**Sharky** · 07-01-2007

D3 Publisher and Tomy will be releasing a new Naruto RPG game for the Nintendo DS, titled "Naruto: Path of the Ninja". Set to release on October 23rd, Path of the Ninja is a new game, which combines elements from all three of the already existing Naruto RPGs in Japan into one game.

Naruto: Path of the Ninja offers --
- 6 playable characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Rock Lee, Shikamaru, and Neji
- Over 90 usable jutsus
- Touch-screen mini-games
- Time-based combat system
- The story spans from the formation of Team Kakashi all the way up to the battle between Naruto and Gaara at the end of the Chuunin Exams.

"The first Naruto RPG in North America for the NDS is featuring an epic storyline that spans 80 episodes from the series. Explore the world of Naruto as you've never seen it before by roaming across forests, fields, rivers and mountains in real ninja missions. Along the way players will encounter bosses and enemies that they must use their special techniques to defeat. What's your Nindo?"

They really need to start coming up with some original titles. "Rise of the Ninja", "Clash of Ninja", "Ultimate Ninja", "Path of the Ninja".
See the resemblance going on?

Definetely.

I've asked several people at NAMCO BANDAI who work on the Naruto games, why not stick with the original Japanese game names -- and they told me they wanted titles that were easier for gamers to understand.

So I can see not calling a game "Gekito Ninja Taisen", but "Naruto RPG" or even "Narutimate Hero" seem pretty simple to me.

Ninja.
