Namco Bandai Games has released a brand new Naruto Storm 3 video featuring Choji taking on Edo Tensei Asuma! And guess what, his awakening is Butterfly Choji!

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is Namco Bandai Games and CyberConnect2′s fourth entry in the Storm series. It will be available for the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 in North America and Europe in March of 2013. It will begin with the incident with the Nine Tailed Fox from 16 years ago, continue on to the Five Kage Arc, and go up to the Shinobi War, covering latest episode of Naruto Shippuden before the game’s release.

    Gooo Choji~!!

  • CJCon

    Finally Butterfly Choji. =P
    I probably won’t even play as him, it just seemed like one of the more obvious awakenings that they were missing. Here’s hoping for CS2 Jugo.

  • phillip drewry

    YUSSSSSSS!!!!!! :D

  • timanel1

    horrible.. just horrible… 1.35 gameplay ? so sad… ultimate is a shit .. and no cinematic when entering in b mode ? this guys just care about money.. they did a great game and they ruin it sequel after sequel… good times when my games in storm were 5 min with amazing cinematics and moves… jesus..

  • Zeus Nation

    Choji looks fatter than usual lol

    looking awesome, i hope still more good things to come. we’ve only seen 20% game play still right?

  • Tyler Casilio

    Same combos as last 2 games :( sad

    Tell me.What was the point of this video?

  • Yonbi4tails

    I wonder what that’s about when asuma’s health turns red And there is an icon to the left of the screen? it goes away as soon as Choji enters awakening though

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_U7MU5OUS7FIH575VT4PNZNIDXU jermar

    why would they change it. It doesn’t make since to change it just to change it.

  • imichigo1

    this is awesome evcept his ultimate jutsu is still gay as ever cant wait

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_U7MU5OUS7FIH575VT4PNZNIDXU jermar

    Complain all you want. In the end your still going to buy.

  • Daniele Prati

    Why did they give Asuma his tekken? He no long use that as Resurrected Why did the Choji’s moveset is totally the same of NUNS2? WHY? They update Naruto Sennin but non Choji? Really?

  • DarkRaidan

     Wow… Be easy its just showing you a gameplay trailer of characters u get to use from the current ark, there’s no CS from Awaken mode cause there’s a faster way to go in awaken mode now without being low hp and u can do it at any point with the sacrifice of some of you chakara.(But the old way is still in the game) I think this game will be by far the best they have made yet. So no worries /o/!

  • Boomer6574

    3 health bars? Ain’t nobody got time for that! Still cool though.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/EMOASRVV55G76AT4X6HWIBGZKU Christopher Witherspoon

    am i the only 1 to realize asuma awakened twice back to back within almost 10 seconds if that if you watch the video he awakened cut it off did half a combo an then awakended again now for asuma thats not a big deal his awaken is decent but for people who spam 6tk susanoo etc etc op awakens this is bs there needs to be a delay u should be able to cut it on an off in an instant

  • timanel1

    are u crazy  ? they best game was STORM ( the first one ) … now the game sucks.. no intro cinematic , no amazing ultimates , only 2 bars life and when you hit you take like 1/4 of that bar… the game sucks now..

  • Rikohasnianto

    really guys? STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS GAME, if you don’t like it why don’t you just make your own storm game? really it’s looks fine all of you gosh just don’t buy it if you don’t like the game

  • narutopiece1

    I know the game is still in development but Choji needs different Ultimate Jutsu (UJ) and not this same old UJ

  • eduardo aparecido de lima

    where’s the new movement of r1?
    chouji not have the giant butterfly or Ultimate Jutsu
    cc2 know please, but also known displease =

  • yoUNg_grOUp568

    Sasuke is one of the characters who can’t awaken anytime, so there is no need to worry

  • Guest

    seriously? Rinse and Repeat but with butterfly wings, I’m sure CC2 had to put a lot of effort into him… change it just to change it? you know how BORING and repetitive that is? everyone who were the same in generations as in storm 2 I didn’t even bother playing as them. sadly most of the repetitive ones are the ones I like. if they can’t add a new jutsu to it because no new jutsu was made yet, then give them a new combo fighting style. like they did with naruto’s ( kage summit ) version. I played that one, not because of his awesome awakening, but because he felt NEW!!!!! quit supporting and giving excuses for something that is all out LAZY

  • Rikohasnianto

    CHOJI LOOKS AWSOME!!!

  • Boomer6574

    Really I like Asuma’s old move set.

  • Rikohasnianto

    choji’s too, hahaha they all look great with all their old moveset

  • Daniele Prati

    Can’t i give my opinion? So, what does this “comments” are for?

  • Rikohasnianto

    you really should not buy this game if you don’t like it, if you want this game then just accept what it does, stop complaining you, i totally agree with JERMAR

  • Guest

    Your comment is so childish, if I was wise and didn’t buy the game till storm 4, then I’ll be left behind while all my friends, and rank players moved a long to storm 3. meaning It’ll be more difficult to find someone to play against. but if I give in and buy the game. then after a while, I realize this game isn’t really worth 60$ and only feel half satisfied with my accomplishment. if you’re casual I guess it doesn’t matter. if you’re a hardcore It would bother some people because they notice the flaws and repetitiveness. so either buy or not buy it. both have goods and bads about it, that includes being patient and waiting till the game price drops. anyways, next time you or anyone tells us to stop complaining then at least use some kind of intelligence instead of sounding like a 12year old fanboy whose mommy buys him everything he wants. 

  • Rikohasnianto

    In Replay To Daniele Prati : to make a suggestion that has not been made ​​by cc2, lol just accept what they already made :/

  • Shogunreaper

     If you don’t complain when something has problems then you obviously don’t care that much about it.

  • Rikohasnianto

    lol, i think you’re the one who’s look childish, people who always complain like you are look childish,  and you don’t even use your logic to read my comment first LOL so you’re the one who’s left behind, is not me, or him, or her either, did i really even care if you been left behind? :P and the game? is just fine, and if you don’t look childish, i hope you can make your own storm game.

  • Rikohasnianto

    comments and complains are different lol

  • José Morales Rosado

    wath about the old kages like Garras father, are they comming playable ??

  • imichigo1

    yea but, storm 4 won’t be coming out for a while and you already know your going to get this game wheather it looks good or not if your a true naruto fan then you would get it just to have fun

  • Rikohasnianto

    AGREE!!

  • Rikohasnianto

    maybe xD

  • Shogunreaper

     how is that?

  • Rikohasnianto

    lol, i think you’re the one who’s look childish, people who always complain like you are look childish,  and you don’t even use your logic to read my comment first LOL so you’re the one who’s left behind, is not me, or him, or her either, did i really even care if you been left behind? :P and the game? is just fine, and if you don’t look childish, i hope you can make your own storm game.

    They could have given him a new ultimate.

  • Ronnie Cox

    ohhhh i see a character i may main

  • Rikohasnianto

    In Reply to Shogunreaper : lol dunno you have brain right?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_U7MU5OUS7FIH575VT4PNZNIDXU jermar

    You said you like playing with the naruto (kage summit) because it felt new, well duh he was essentially a new character. This was the worse example you could have given. As the story goes on Naruto learns new techniques and thus they implement that into the game; however, for a characters that didn’t learn anything new they keep them the same, not because of laziness but because they literally didn’t change in the show. Oh and by the way, your use of the word lazy was very childish. Unless you have a degree in game design or have extensively researched it, you have know idea what goes into making a game. If you wish to complain about the game feel free to. You have every right, but don’t make the mistake of assuming that your complaints are synonymy’s with constructive criticism. This is more than just a game, its a business and the sooner you accept that the sooner you can broaden your horizon and learn to give proper constructive criticism.

  • Guest

    Your stupidity and gullible personality is unrivaled… congratulations

    hahaha look into you self before say something to other people, if you don’t have mirror i can get you some

  • http://twitter.com/johngill195 John Gill

    Same, mid-combo awakening Asuma looks awesome

  • alain sokhon

    guys this is just a video . like the ninja storm genrations in the demo they put the new sasuke but with different jutsu and tilting . choji can be in the game much better than this video . but anw i like it

  • Millsuperman

    8itch and moan “why we don’t get new gameplay waa whaa” You get it then cry and complain a55 backwards

  • Vasto_Lord_Dizzy

    it all looks great but they need to at least give choji a uj that goes with his butterfly form, i really REALLY dont want to see the same copy and paste movesets from storm 2 for everyone who only has one character slot.

  • IchigoUzumaki

    No new ultimates? I seriously hope they at least update everybody’s move set.

  • IchigoUzumaki

    Same here, i hope this is just for demo purposes and will have a different moveset when the game releases.

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    I hate to say it, but the Storm series has finally turned into the Clash of Ninja Series in terms of repetitiveness  

  • Guest

    Look at you, made a fool out of yourself so bad you had to edit and delete your comment. your credibility and post no longer has any value. idiot 

  • mano L

    what would be cool is if you can use teammates while awakened and they have a different jutsu they use.So you will get four jutsus from normal char and awakened then you also get four more jutsus from your support having two jutsus themselves.

  • http://twitter.com/Diabloo12 Marco

    You also get artbook at C.E edition at zavvi?

  • Guest

    I’ll rather not be “true naruto fan” than some retard who spends money on bad and lazy games. in fact I’m the REAL true naruto fan cause I believe naruto deserves good quality games. not sloppy seconds. and considering that rikohanianto agrees with you. makes me more confident that I’m right lol. later

  • EA575

    They’re probably focusing more of their attention on the story mode :/

  • imichigo1

    yea, but the game isnt out yet why you judging the game so early, the game looks awesome, generations was terriable but i still love to play it, but then again i love naruto unlike you

  • tsukuyomiCheed

    cool gameplay and choji in awakening look cool 

  • Deidara19

    well…ITS ABOUT TIME!!! Good for Choji! LOL

    A little disappointed about his same boring awakening though –__–

  • http://twitter.com/Keviouk KuroPansa

    I translated a part of the developpers’ blog on the official Namco Bandai’s website. They say that a video about the Jinchurikis is on its way, and could be shown on Saturday, with the tournament at the Jump Festa, Japan (which could also include the Jinchurikis as playable characters). Moreover, there will be a great update next Tuesday :-)

  • Zeus Nation

    So much heart and soul was put into Strorm 1, its just a shame how CC2 has watered down the series.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_KNYB7WF2WNTRUM2KZSGZK2IJDM Graham

    They changed Choji’s move set.. His up combo is different.  Trust me I’m a Choji user :) .  But he did still have some of the same combos (like his air combo).  

  • http://Youtube.com/Jmeny14 Killer Popo

    It’s most likely Bandai’s doing, not CC2 considering that they heavily rush their games nowadays by giving their developers such a short time to create their games, hell just look at how quick it takes for DBZ games and One Piece games to come out.

  • Zeus Nation

    I would have rather had the Storm series stay on PS3 and be great than go on both consoles and be a cheap generic version. And im saying this owning an X-box 360. 

  • 69tails

    They probably be

  • Zeus Nation

    Haha like that will ever happen.

  • 69tails

    I am pretty sure the Edo kages will be playable and pain and madara

  • ShisuiUchiha88

    New costume for Choji and new awakening… everything else is still the same.

    Edo Asuma is the same like he was in Storm 2 and Generations. 
    If this is the game on what they work 3 years then i am president of US.

  • http://twitter.com/DmC_GL_ DmC

    1:07 up from the choji ninja tools put one message i wonder what says this.

  • Zeus Nation

    Since the World is ending Tomorrow, CC2 feels that they don’t have to work hard Hard lol

  • timanel1

    yeah.. they are getting worst and worst in every game.. this is more a complete dlc for storm 2

  • mano L

    it ends tomorrow??? so its on 12/21/2012?? How can that be because wherever you are its already tomorrow somewhere else. So it ends on the 21st and the 22nd?? strange

  • Guest

    then quit responding to there complaints then.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/FFCRVIFR3JTGAMDA3AQI3XQQ3E Cloud S

    I can extremely agree with you on this. I bought an extremely over-priced Jasper Edition 360, and played Vesperia on it. Then, they released Vesperia for the PS3, and it was the work of the Gods. Not dissing, just dismissing.

  • Frank Cerullo

    meh new sounds and fatser jutsu for asuma is all i noticed ( new sounds for awaking combo)

  • Ray_Jeezy

    I agree to an extent that characters (like Choji) should have new moves. Although, I would say that it would be better for some people to stay the same if they haven’t gotten enough useful material to use from the anime. But at the same time, I do think that every character deserves at least one new aspect. If not a new moveset, then a new combo, or flicker, or jutsu, or ultimate jutsu or something. To jermar who says that some people don’t have anything new to create something from, that doesn’t mean that the company can’t be creative. The combos of most of the characters in the game are essentially made up anyway, so new things can just be made again. I personally think that CC2 is just focused on improving and perfecting the ‘commercial’ and ‘popular’ characters while forgetting that there are still so many other characters that people love. Look at Naruto and Sasuke who had practically five different forms in generations and Sage Naruto who was made for Storm 2 already got a completely new moveset and flicker for generations. Yet so many characters stay the same.
    I just feel that every character deserves attention. l think CC2 seems to be focusing too much on what children (no offence) cry for e.g. new characters, new costumes (which all seem to be for Naruto) etc, rather than focusing on things like refining specific characters, fixing spammers, new jutsu and ultimate jutsu, and things that will make the game a better game in terms of content. Right now, it seems like its a game that’s being made for sales based on things that get people falsely exited. But I may be wrong….

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_U7MU5OUS7FIH575VT4PNZNIDXU jermar

    As they have a right to complain, I have a right to respond to their complaints. Just because I said you have a right to complain doesn’t mean I’m not going to respond to it. The saying goes If your going to open your mouth then you better make sure your ears are opened as well.

    This Looks Nice. Butterfly Choji Looks Cool And I Like Asuma The Way He Is His Combos Were Beast To Begin With. I Cant Wait Until Saturday When We Get To See The New Trailer and New Demo. And I Heard Tuesday We Get Some Big News

  • ShisuiUchiha88

    Story Mode will be awesome for that i am sure but they will not change to much. All jonins and chunins from Leaf and Sand Village will have the same ultimate and nunjutsu. So it’s like 43 characters what will not change. Masked Fag and Onoki-the rock noob will also be like in Generations. But at last i know that Madara will be in Storm 3.

    I couldn’t agree with you more, how come when Choji awakens in Storm 2 & Generations he is HUGE and now (in storm 3 butterfly choji) he is the same size, cheap cop-out! It seems all CC2 is shooting for is mass amounts of character selection.CC2 I am disappointed.

    If you’re in America, it should be leaked from tomorrow to the weekend, but officially on Tuesday, which is our Monday I believe.

  • izanagi87

    really curious about the red health bar, and that text over by chojis items. what could it mean??? some new feature i assume. it starts when choji lands an ultimate and it goes away when choji awakens . hmmmm…….

  • http://twitter.com/iay3s A D H A M – ♡

    ultimate jutsu and ninjutsu for choji never change forever  -,-’!

  • MuffinVonCupcake1

    I don’t see why everyone is complaining about Choji’s combo’s or jutsu or ultimate. He had no reason to change. The only thing he really needed changed was his awakening so that the story would stay on track, and they did just that. This Choji is mainly a COSTUME CHANGE! Back off my tubby!

  • timanel1

    dude just cause it have more characters and boss battles doesnt make it a better game or experience…

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/CR7GPCVRWLVKVGOOGXVK4YZNJE Hollow V2

    Butterfly choji is one big disappointment… in the manga and in the anime, and now in the game. And he’s fat

  • Sharnerius1

    What a ripoff he has the same moveset -_-.All the recurring characters have the same moveset and a cheap costume change.That’s 80% of the roster.The only reason anyone wants the buy this game is for the few new characters that they added and the unfinished story mode -_-

  • ALMIGHTY Juicemon E. Genesis

    Now all I need to see is my man Nagato and my girl TenTen!

    My girl TenTen BETTER have at least 1 move using that bannana leaf fan!

  • Dizzeh

    Im kinda disappointed on the awakening, i was expecting a quick animation with him sprouting the wings of some sort, but i wont complain since i dont even use choji to begin with

  • ALMIGHTY Juicemon E. Genesis

    I was expecting the human boulder to remain unchanged, but the ultimate was a real letdown, especially for me, one of the rare Choji fans.  I was expecting him to use Super Expansion Jutsu and Calorie Control at the same time like he did while fighting the Mazou Statue.  His ultimate shouldv’e been the giant Butterfly Bomb.  And with the awakening, it should be a selection where you vcan choose to be either small or supersized butterfly choji.

  • Dizzeh

    I dont blame them though, choji doesnt change much during the series, which is kinda like a big disappointment

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002886867417 David Han

    If you think about it, it’s actually good that his awakening is small. He can actually be useful online. If he was huge like Susano’o, he’d be punished with combos easily.

  • Sharnerius1

    It’s not hard to give him new moves.Naruto and Sasuke didn’t change a bit yet their combos are different in Generations.They even have the creativity to make up moves for characters that don’t fight.They’re just lazy.And choji is still fat with the butterfly wings here.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002886867417 David Han

    I kind of expected Choji to remain the same but Asuma, really. They could’ve at least added his wind jutsu but that might be his awakening action or ultimate jutsu, who knows. What I’m really disappointed at is his awakening which is completely wrong. 

    Asuma gave his trench knives to Shikamaru so why does he still have them I wonder? I hope that it’s just because this is only a gameplay trailer and when the game is released it changes, but since this is the Storm series I highly doubt it.

  • Haoshoku_Haki

    The only thing i really wanted from this game was for my main, my best character Asuma to be different, to be exciting but nope he’s the same. 

    sure i’ll get this game, most naruto fans will but i’m so disappointed, screw you CC2, you can’t make a ‘new’ game

  • ObitoRinnegan

     Thats his instant awakening ,maybe the normal one will be the big Choji ,and Asuma hopefuly has a new ultimate jutsu

  • James Soldier

    I wish they will give the license back to Ubisoft because CYBERCONNECT2 keep making the same game and i don’t like that at all. Cyberconnect2 is good at visual and not good at making the actual gameplay great. The Storm series is a mess and if Broken Bond was for PS3. I would of bought that before this and wait till this game become $20.00 dollars because that’s all its worth.

  • forgotmylastaccountsoimadethis

    Im positive that the gameplay videos dont show the atcual combos,based on the fact of we saw generation naruto so far on all the videos,but on the trailers we see naruto using diffrent combos(im referring to the kurma fight/forgive me if im mistaken) and the one screenshot of ninetailed mode naruto using a move not in generation. so dont give up hope.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/ENRWH6PGHSJ274LYJOEMUZXHDM LiL JJ

    Cool, now all we need is Drunken Fist Lee, who’s with me?(I knw he hasn’t done it in Shipudden but it’d still be cool) Seriously though from Choji, you can’t expect a new moveset, but it would be nice for some others. Wish Asuma had a new one because he’s one of my fav characters and I love to use him in the game. Oh well.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/ENRWH6PGHSJ274LYJOEMUZXHDM LiL JJ

    Actually Naruto and Sasuke do change, esp Sasuke did during the Kage Summit.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/ENRWH6PGHSJ274LYJOEMUZXHDM LiL JJ

    It being on Xbox 360 had nothing to do with the change. The change from the first Storm would be the online feature.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Broken bonds was the same as Rise of a Ninja. It was mostly copy and paste too, not to mention jutsu were only usable as ultimate type cutscenes. Before spewing garbage, know what you are talking about.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Normally it’s good to recycle… but not in this case…

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Sweet, Butterfly Choji NOT Giant Butterfly Choji.

    Now you’re all disappointed…

    We knew it would be the same from the beginning. Screenshots, gameplay, demos. What more did you need??? This? You needed this?

    Smh. I’ve been saying this from the beginning. I’ve been trying to prevent pitfalls of your hopes so you don’t feel like crap. Now look at you.

    All those people who doubted me and a few others, please stand up. Doubt you will come forward like men and admit you were wrong, but hey, that’s life.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_D53NAWQLSHDBCU2ABJORXWTLUE Zack

    Who knows? Maybe It’s like how the demo for UNS gens had PTS naruto had a different ultimate than the finished product.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    That was the very first demo. The subsequent demos a couple months later had the new one. We’re at the end of December, 3 months away from release. Please, please stop. Just see it it for what it is right in front of you. Stop with these false hopes when the evidence points to the contrary.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    CC2 you are geniuses. You can get people to believe in the impossible after 2 straight games of recycled content and showing them countless videos that this time is no different, and still make them believe you’ll change the old characters’ movesets. 

    Why do I even bother.

  • Delothis

    I kind of wish they didnt change awakenings just because I enjoyed watching the short 3 second cutscenes of my character changing. I thought that really added a lot of authenticity which is something they just keep reducing more and more. First the clashes and wall running, then the substitutions, now the awakenings. Sucks that they keep moving in this direction.

  • miles2009

    Storm 3 will be no different. The game could be so much better but the only upgrade we get is a couple of boxes in the stage, ring-outs and the konoha ninjas in their chunin vest. Then on top of that we still have characters with only one jutsu and we can only see Naruto do rasengan in a match so many times.

  • miles2009

    Lets just hope storm 3 will be the last game or they might make Generations 2 lol

  • miles2009

    No that will not happen, just based on previous storm games. The movesets WILL stay the same for everyone unfortunately. What you see here is pretty much the full game itself

    I already bought my 42″ 3D led smart TV for this game! I can’t wait to play this! Choji’s awakening looks badass. I’d love to see his full awakening moveset along with his jutsu. Also Storm 3′s Choji looks a lot fatster.. Faster than before. :) )

  • Joe Davis

    all of you who r bitching about this game really need 2 fckin stop. the game hasn’t even come out yet be appreciative that CC2 even took the time to make this game.i know theyre trying to change everything they can to make this game good. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Be appreciative that they want to make money by doing minimal work?

    LMFAO

  • Joe Davis

    ok gots a question 4 u has the game been released yet. do we really know if theyre gonna have these things you’ve just mentioned no we do not. no matter what you say i hve one thing to back myself up the game has’nt been released or completed. so none of us really know much of anything, and all i was doing is telling the people wait till the game comes out to slander it

  • tsukuyomiCheed

    Glad they changed Choji’s Awakening and i cannot wait for this game 

  • Joe Davis

    i think everyone forgetting something here the thing that really drawed us to these games werent just playing as the characters 70% of it was the storymode the graphics the action all of it was great so if your gonna complain at least wait until they market the game.

  • Guest

    Oh wow, there’s A LOT of insult comments about this game for being repetitive, seems that slowly but surely people are beginning to wake up and realize just how greedy CC2 really is. if only you guys had realized this sooner. anyways Faith in humanity has been restored. nice to know I’m not the only one who isn’t gullible

    I really wish that Storm 3′s adventure mode was like Rise of a Ninja or The Broken Bond in the Xbox 360! those were the best naruto games based on action adventure!!!

  • funnymitchell

    if you can do it better why don’t you make a naruto storm game???

  • James Soldier

    I know man that’s why i hope Ubisoft gets the license to Naruto again because the actual gameplay content was great and CC2 can just work on the visuals of the game.

  • Edo_Nagato

    yeah dude, i have to agree with Joe…..yer the one lookin like a downright dumbass kuz i don’t know about you, but trying to make sequels to things without recycling stuff is pretty damn hard…….plus yer wrong about every single thing you mentioned about Storm 3……kuz ITS NOT OUT YET…….lmfao c;

  • Edo_Nagato

    Word of wisdom for all those people that are spewing shit without feeding yourselves with knowledge(for the people complainin about the UNFINISHED game) this isnt the final look of the game….just a demo a.k.a prototype……they’re just screwin with it…you knowing TESTING IT…..never heard of testin? they said they’ve showed off 20% of the game(last i remember) not 100….or did you fail kindergarten……..WAIT TIL YOU PUT THAT GAME INTO YER CONSOLE TO JUDGE IT

    Didn’t the first 5 original Ultimate Ninja games not change a thing to the returning characters except MAYBE a new ultimate and awakening? The overall moveset for each character stayed the same. They’ve been doing this same routine since the original Ultimate Ninja 2. This is no different. I personally have no problem with it because I don’t want new movesets just more characters, so I’m not complaining. I just want a playable Kushina.

  • STORM_3 saif

    is storm 3 2vs2?

  • UchihaMadara12345678910

    Why not Chouji was” Giant” Butterfly on its way? Also, he got the same moves, I’m increasingly disappointed.

  • James Soldier

    Hell no.

  • James Soldier

    She will most likely be support only.

  • http://twitter.com/dayderaa daydera

    I would be happy if they changed the awakening and ultimate jutsu Orochimaru.

  • UchihaMadara12345678910

    I also really wanted changed Orochimaru, but he has done almost nothing after its launch in generations

  • Tonii_Montana

    “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” *sigh* I guess even though I would prefer to see new movesets for everyone that just wouldn’t be realistic to the fighting game genre as a whole. Too much time is needed to be spent elsewhere such as improving fighting mechanics, adding new features, and a majority especially in anime games telling the story. I can’t think of any fighting games off the top (tekken, street fighter, mvc, doa, blazblue, mortal kombat) where characters where given new movesets or special attacks in their prequels after every single game. Storm 1-2 made sense because every character for the most part was new although it was technically just an older version. We can’t have 100+ characters and at the same time expect cc2 to develop new animations for each one while also adding new content and features. Two years just isn’t enough time.

    I’ll look past this somewhat dissapointing Choji vs Asuma vid and spend more time seeing what cc2 did with the newer characters and how they’ve improved the battle system. Still wondering what’s the deal with the red health meter and the icon that popped on screen– yet it dissapeared when choji went awakening.

  • joey485

    I was hoping for Choji to have a NEW ultimate. Seeing that makes me think the rest of the konoha 11 will have the same ultimates but with their new outfits.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/IN42UXYND2VW6NNGHWJ55XK4KU Elwood

     Didn’t CC2 say there will be no support only characters?

  • MasterAfroNinja

    They still have time to redo everyone’s. combos and I wish they would? They really need to do it for the slow characters and long range characters. When you play as them you can dash at your enemy and start tour combo but it’s so slow that your enemy is able to just block it, it’s so not right and needs to be fix!!! If you don’t know what I mean play as Tobi for a bit it’s close to impossible to get someone in his combo the only way to do it is to hit them in the air. The also should change everyone’s combos to show how much they have grown

  • Edo_Nagato

    well….in the final game they might put yer choice of instant orange health awakening…so you might be able to choose giant choji…..i hope there are more than one types of awakening for certain characters

  • Edo_Nagato

    i meant instant or orange health :P sorry

  • Edo_Nagato

    yeah….i hope they put edo deidara as a short range character(since he had a blade in the anime) and im still hopin they put Edo Nagato and Itachi ^_^

  • Edo_Nagato

    couldn’t have put it better dude (:

  • MasterAfroNinja

    I hope so as well, and I’m sure they will be in there. Remember there doing DLC this time around, so if a character hasn’t made it in by release time there’s a big chance it will be DLC

  • Edo_Nagato

    really?…….kickass x3

    Cant Wait To Get This Game. No Matter What They Show Us We Wont Know How Truly Good It Is Until It Comes Out

  • James Soldier

    LOL you atleast 50 yr old and you’re playing Naruto?

  • jinStorm314567

    dude whats wrong with being 50 and playing Naruto?

  • James Soldier

    LOL everything.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    They didn’t improve anything.

    Ring outs: 2 steps back, and a leap into treacherous waters.

    Death to Supports: Huge disadvantages just waiting to happen. How is that balanced?

    Awaken anytime (only some): Leads to OP characters or just plain nothing useful whatsoever. 

    COD can create a 5-10 hour story mode in less then a year with little to no cutscenes, just gameplay. I HATE COD. But what the heck has CC2 been doing for 2 and 1/2 years? Creating a bunch of cutscenes for their 10 hours of gameplay Story Mode? No. I’m not buying a movie of a story I already know. I WANT GAMEPLAY CHANGES. 

    Your post is intelligent and well thought out, but you are wrong because they had ample time to include both a story mode and revamped mechanics/movesets.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    You’re right. And I’m fed up with that. That’s not the way a good company should operate.

    But w/e, they make money, so it doesn’t matter.

    Not sure, though that sounds familiar.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    I expect an apology when the game comes out and the movesets haven’t changed. All the demos, screenshots, etc. say I’m right but you still refute it. Priceless. I could have the game right in front of me and you’d still deny it.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Umm… WHAT? I’m wrong about everything they CONFIRMED like ring outs and support deaths? WTH did I just read? 

    Storm 1 > 2: Barely any recycling, 2 year development.

    Storm 2 > 3: Mostly recycled, 2 and 1/2 year development.

    Does anyone do their homework on this site? Or in general for that matter?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

    Because he and I don’t have ample training. They do. They have no excuse for making the same game after 2 and 1/2 years. How do I know? Storm 2 took only 2 years, and it had almost nothing recycled whatsoever. That is undeniable, irrefutable fact based on their own word that they’ve been at this for over 2 years.

    Your insult/comeback is ridiculous, as that same one always has been. 

  • Tonii_Montana

    Haven’t updated myself on the game lately so I spent most of the day checking out some of the new features that have been added since I last checked,(ring-outs, supports, destructable objects) nothing too impressive so far.

    While there is a loud community speaking out against the awakenings and ring outs I wouodnt say its a step backwards because were not losing anything but definitely not the best option.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002886867417 David Han

    I agree with most of the stuff you said, fighting games generally do not completely change a previous character’s moveset unless it’s for another form. It isn’t the time issue at fault, it’s the fact that CC2 are trying to follow the anime as closely as possible.

    Though from this video, they aren’t exactly doing the best job at that.

  • Aadam Hanif

  • joe davis

    your right now that i think about it the only reason they wouldn’t be following the manga would be because they’re stalling to make more money. and if someone were to confront them on that im guessing they would peddle an excuse like Naruto fans would be disappointed if we were to end the storm series early. although they would be

  • joe davis

    and if u think about it what was generations really for they said they were stalling for storm 3.I say they knew alot of people would buy storm generations because of the character roster and the promise of over 60 mins of anime content more like 20. they had so many glitches for generations you couldnt even count them. but all the while they knew that the people would still buy the game. basically what im saying is they think people are stupid theyre like ticks to us pleasure themselves and nothing in return.

  • Ray_Jeezy

    Thinking back to what Alex Marrero said:
    “They have no excuse for making the same game after 2 and 1/2 years. How do I know? Storm 2 took only 2 years, and it had almost nothing recycled whatsoever. That is undeniable, irrefutable fact based on their own word that they’ve been at this for over 2 years.”I never actually thought about that before. Actually stop to think and ponder on that comment. Storm 2 took 2 years to make yet practically all the characters were new, all with new combos, jutsu, ultimate jutsu and some new awakenings. Then think about everything new in the storymode and then the inclusion of online mode, and the new support system. THAT TOOK 2 YEARS!!!Storm 3′s taken 2 and 1/2 years and yet people are still saying that CC2 doesn’t have enough time. Look at what they’ve achieved. Clearly it’s possible. That’s all I think needs to be said.

  • funnymitchell

    whole team ( 100% ) did storm 2 part of the team did storm generation other part of the team did storm 3 at the same time generation was in productionthe team that did storm generation is helping currently with storm 3 that means that the team that already began storm 3 had to make sure that they didn’t have to explain every little detail they changed.the team that began storm generation had less which could mean that they needed more people.I hope this explains it a little bit and before people begin with ” where is your proof” I don’t havethis is pure logic ( in my head )

  • funnymitchell

    they were also busy with generation

  • Ray_Jeezy

    but then i don’t understand why they would do patch-work for a sequel game. At least we understand that generations was a storm 2.5 (as it was put), but for a full sequel game, surely it deserves full attention.

  • Deidara19

    Sorry I was thinking of 2 things at one time when I wrote this.(Although it’s kinda obvious) I meant to say Special

  • Yonbi4tails

    Time isn’t the issue, and neither is being lazy. The developers are picking and choosing what they want to spend time on. If Choji or Asyma doesn’t have any new combos, jutsus or ougis its because the developers didn’t think its necessary not because they’re too lazy. Lazy would be Storm 3 with the bare minimum which means no change in boss battles, no ring outs, no fixed gameplay mechanics, no Bijus, no hack n slash, no new online modes. Just because we don’t like everything they’re doing doesn’t mean they are lazy shitheads. Maybe we want more justsus and combos but they want more boss battles and cinematics for storymode because that’s what most of their complaints where about from Japan for generations.
