Naruto Storm 2, Naruto Impact Getting Re-Release in Japan

With the fiercest Storm, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, making it’s way to Japan on April 18th (North America March 5, Europe March 8), Namco Bandai Games is releasing Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 for the PS3 and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact for the PSP – again!

Naruto Storm 2 will be re-released under the “PlayStation 3 The Best” banner, while Naruto Impact will be re-released under the “PSP The Best” banner. Both games will be exactly the same as the originals in content, the only difference expected is “The Best” banner on the box art.

If Saiyan Island understands correctly, games under the “The Best” banner in Japan are basically old games sold at a cheaper price. This is often done to re-issue a game under a new SKU so sales figures aren’t mixed with the original and to also get players who may have missed out to purchase the game. In other words, their purpose is exactly the same as PlayStation “Greatest Hits” games in North America.

The expected release date for “The Best” versions of both games is February 21, 2013 in Japan only. Naruto Storm 2 will be sold for 3,619 yen (around $40 USD) and Naruto Impact will be sold for 2,667 (around $30 USD). Prices among may retailers vary slightly. Based on Saiyan Island’s look back to the past, Naruto Storm 2 originally was priced about 7,330 yen (around $80 USD) when it was released on October 21, 2010 in Japan. Naruto Impact, which was released October 20, 2011 in Japan, was sold for about 5,230 yen (around $58 USD) originally.

Game play storm 2 introduced more and unique boss battles which made it a great game but character jutsus and fighing was more fun in storm 1. More Jutsus per character longer ultimate cinemas and awaking second ultimate, either making a more impact full attack or a total different ultimate for some character. Plus I think the characters were more brighter and fitting the anime.

Damn it Namco Bandai, re-release Impact on PSN so I can download it to my Vita.

The graphics were exactly the same. I’ve seen side-by-side comparisons and there was no difference. People prematurely judged it simply because Shippuden uses darker aesthetics then the PTS era.

If only they made it so I could port it to my Vita.. I’d rebuy it again just for that reason

Poor Japanese people… First the late Storm 3 release date, and now Storm 2 re-relaesed at high prize. They’re really unlucky.

are you jealous, because i was the 3 hokage and i opened the 3 gate?.
wesley

I honestly like the ultimates from storm 2, storm 1 ultimates were too long and destroyed the action (this is only my opnion)
Javier de Prada

Sarutobi was a better 3rd hokage than you >:(
ShisuiUchiha88

I don’t get it why they first release Storm 3 in NA and EU… always was first in japan? O_o
Is it that because they didn’t sold too much Generations there? Can somebody tell me, i am not informed very well…

The story mode will likely go to where the anime is in April, so it’s to not spoil the story for JP fans. Releasing it early in other regions doesn’t matter since the dubs are nowhere close to caught up.
uchihalord1994

Get a life.
ottel12

Add me on ps3 unhearted55

that’s just hoe they do it it goes in order from storm 1 released in europe then storm 2 for NA tehn generations was japan now its back to us

Hell No! S1 was best – it was the smoothest fighting game I have ever played + Awakenings like Sharingan and Byakugan were made correctly; just like in the Anime, while in sequels they are just making your character stronger, nothing more, which is total bull****!
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_2P4PUH52YW6UHRYJFQA57NJUW4 Alex Marrero

Or what I said. The release dates have never been so close for 2 out of the 3 then more than a month for the 3rd. It seems more likely they are holding off for JP to not spoil the story in the anime.
uchihalord1994

WRONG bro! that’s ur opinion and i respect it but, storm 1 was just for like… umm i’d say testing the gamestyle and it would have been really broken if there was online mechanics ! plus the low character roster .. which give them more time to focus on every little detail ~ i do agree tho i liked it alot and i actually don’t ps3 ! but u know i watched videos and all and i tried it with a friend . So yea i’d say storm 2 is the best game so far! (:

Storm 2 has Epic boss battles.
Motts76

I guess it depends on the style of player you are. Like dont use my ultimates until its time to finish a person off. So i would see my long cinema once. Some people need to use Ultimates more thank once.
