TOMY has released a Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 game play trailer featuring Kurenai, Hinata, Kiba, and Shino!

TOMY Corporation today released all-new gameplay footage revealing the four latest characters activating their special jutsu moves in the highly anticipated Wii fighting game NARUTO Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3. The never-before-seen footage highlights the special fighting moves of Kurenai, Hinata, Kiba and Shino, four characters taken directly from the popular Naruto manga. Exclusive for Nintendo Wii and available November 17, the classic 3D fighting game features new and improved gameplay mechanics, more than 35 playable characters, multiple gameplay modes, and for the first time, Wi-Fi multiplayer functionality. A brief profile of each new character is included below:

Kurenai
Kurenai is a genjutsu user and is a tricky opponent. Her down strong attack is useful because it creates a cloud that “crumples” the opponent, leaving them unable to block for enough time to combo them. Her back strong attack is also very useful, as it is an automatic teleport to the back side of the enemy. Even trickier- if you find your opponent is expecting the teleport, you can hold the strong attack to expend extra chakra to remain hidden until strong attack is released.

Hinata
Hinata specializes in the gentle fist style just like Neji, but is not as fast of a fighter. However, her combo strings can generally become very long if Hinata players can successfully combo cancel at the right moments. She also has a handy, funky little jump attack that moves her straight along horizontal space while jumping that is great for making an aerial attack or moving about the map in an unexpected way.

Kiba
Kiba is an energetic character with a lot of speed. Some of his summersault attacks have tremendous start-up speed and vault him toward the enemy very quickly. They can be really useful in catching an enemy off guard. Another one of his advantages comes with his dog Akamaru who follows him onto the battlefield. Akamaru’s attacks are handy because they can be delayed and delivered at will. By holding strong attack, Akamaru will take an attack stance, and Kiba can continue to attack with weak attack. Since Akamaru’s attacks lift the enemy when they strike, players will find great ways to juggle from combo to combo using careful control of Akamaru.

Shino
Shino can be a tricky opponent because of the bugs he controls. Their deliveries vary in speed and duration as well. Sometimes for Shino it’s handy to set out crawling bugs, strafe around opponents and combo them to fall into the bugs, which will continue combo strings. Other bugs will deploy from under the opponent and grab their feet to keep them from moving. With Shino it’s more important to control the movement of your opponents by keeping them on their toes while trying to avoid the bugs.
