Naruto Storm 3: Blood Included, ESRB Review

Naruto Storm 3, blood included! Fans have wanted more blood in the Storm series and it looks like CyberConnect2 is making those wishes come true. At least that’s according to the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) who reviews games to determine what age rating a game will get. As you may have seen on the box art here on Saiyan Island, Storm 3, like all the Naruto games before it, is rated T for Teen in North America.

Below is what the ESRB says for Naruto Storm 3. Based on the 4 sentence review, it seems Hanzo’s ultimate jutsu may be the referenced item with “blood-spatter” so we personally would not take the inclusion of blood too seriously!

This is an action-fighting game in which players engage in one-on-one battles against characters from the Naruto Shippuden franchise. Characters punch, kick, and use special moves (e.g., fireballs, swords, throwing weapons) to drain opponents’ life meters. Small blood-splatter effects occur when characters strike opponents with bladed weapons. One scene depicts a character slashing at a non-adversary and an enemy during a standoff; another cutscenes depicts two characters impaled on a creature’s claw—blood appears on the claw as well as the characters’ mouths.

In case you’d like to see what ESRB said about the other Naruto Storm games, here they are for comparison:

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations

This is an action-fighting game in which players engage in one-on-one battles against characters from the Naruto Shippuden universe. Players punch, kick, and use special moves (e.g., fireballs, energy blasts) to drain opponents’ life meters; a variety of characters can also summon fantasy creatures (e.g. giant snakes and birds, winged demons) that complete unique attack animations. The frenetic battles are accompanied by punching sounds, cries of pain, and colorful light effects. Animated cutscenes depict other acts of violence: extended swordfights; the silhouette of a warrior impaling himself on a sword. One character shouts “Damn you!” whenever he is defeated.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2

In this fighting game, players engage in one-on-one battles against characters from the Naruto Shippuden universe. Players use mostly punches, kicks, and weapons (e.g., short sword, throwing stars, exploding knives) to drain their opponents’ life meter. Players can also perform ‘Jutsu’ attacks, animated cutscenes that require players to input specific commands and button presses. The fighting sequences depict large fiery explosions, realistic punching sounds, and cries of pain. In one story sequence, a defeated character is depicted with blood on his mouth and hand. During the course of the game, characters sometimes use phrases such as ‘Pervy Sage,’ ‘Closet Perv,’ and ‘bastard’ in the dialogue.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm

NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja: STORM is a role-playing/fighting game based on the animated Naruto TV show. Players battle characters in a multi-angle, three-dimensional environment using a variety of punching and kicking attacks as well as dramatic special attacks shown in short cutscenes. One character is repeatedly referred to as ‘Pervy Sage’ and one of the missions involves finding and thwarting a peeping tom.

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 South America on March 5, Europe and Australia on March 8, and Japan on April 18, 2013. The story for the game will begin with the Nine Tailed Fox incident from 16 years ago, continue on to the Five Kage Arc, and go up to the Shinobi War, covering the latest episodes of Naruto Shippuden as they air in Japan

lol peeping tom. haha ESRB, those guys are jokes.
Pengu97

I don’t know about everyone else, but this is actually something I’m excited for. Now the moments in story and battles can be as they should, instead of like how in Generations, Jariya died of invisible wounds from pain

>small blood spatter
Example: Mifunes black blood spatter from his sword.
Eh.
Still not what I envision.

Why?
ESRB is a GOOD thing most times.
Deva_Pain_Path

They should really include all the stabbings and stuff…example like how it showed narutos mom and dad impaled by nothing? when it really was the ninetails claws.
Obito Uchiha

ESRB = a bunch of babies…..
Randall Johnson

It specifically mentions there being blood on Kurama’s claw, as well as blood coming out of Minato and Kushina’s mouths.
Persona 4

YESSSSSSS
http://www.facebook.com/anthony.ramos.1257 Anthony Ramos

FAIL
Deva_Pain_Path

Oh smacks I didn’t see that it said that lol! but I really hope to see a lot more…I wish they added some forms for other akatsukis, like pain with his half ripped clothing, and other akatsukis such as deidara with their cloak off.
Randall Johnson

I’d rather have Kakuzu with his cloak and Hidan with his full cloak.
http://twitter.com/SouthMan316 Leland South

Naruto Storm 3 Rated M for Mature. Lol xD
http://www.facebook.com/anthony.ramos.1257 Anthony Ramos

so i take it raikage will have both arms, heh…
Deva_Pain_Path

Yes I’ve always wanted to have Kakuzu with his full cloak on! He looked way better!
http://twitter.com/SouthMan316 Leland South

The reanimated Kakazu removes a guys heart from his chest in the anime.. Will we see that happen in storm 3 during the boss battle with him?
Deva_Pain_Path

I didn’t see that they mentioned that lolz I was reading part of the post only.
Jesus

Damn. THATS what I forgot. yup just like Jiraiya
Anakin Skywalker

Just make an M rated Naruto game.
Deva_Pain_Path

hopefully jiraiya/raikage have a form where they both only have one arm lol
http://www.facebook.com/anthony.ramos.1257 Anthony Ramos

if we only getting some extra blood splatter, how the hell are they gonna do the Obito flash back in the next game or dlc however they go about it. there is so much BLOOD…btw SPOILER
http://www.facebook.com/alex.anifantis Alex Sam Anif

I really don’t think Jiraiya will make it to this game. He’s sorta… dead
Deva_Pain_Path

How can Jiraiya not be in the game? When he was the one that trained naruto? and you’re probably imagining pts characters. Otherwise if Jiraiya isn’t in the game then no original alive akatsukis will even be in the game or any other normal alive forms such as asuma.
abcdeee

So Im guessing this game is finished and already ready to ship out since the ESRB reviewed this?
ichigokun

ya i think they finish 2-3 months before the release date so it can get reviewed.
http://twitter.com/SouthMan316 Leland South

Come on CC2 just make Storm 3 M rated.. if your gonna include all this blood..
http://twitter.com/SouthMan316 Leland South

Come on CC2 just make Storm 3 M rated.. if your gonna include all this blood..
Hao Asakura

Sales would be waaaay down. The main audience is about 10-17 or so. 18 and up like you and I (19 in my case) aren’t the majority.
http://www.facebook.com/dewayne.glass Dewayne Glass

i agree they should go ahead and make it m rated.
http://www.facebook.com/dewayne.glass Dewayne Glass

also 25 and up to.
Hagareno

Cool. I’m not a person who thinks blood makes everything cooler, however with this sort of a series I think a bit of blood will help immersion. I’m very excited to see how it will work out.
Baryll

Therefore: The distribution will be very limited. I don’t want GUSHING blood, because it doesn’t fit, but more than just black streaks and small scatters would be appreciated. Like outfit changes through battle from damage, and blood on water, etc.
http://www.facebook.com/Tecqno.Freak ScorpionKid Bane

By The Way People, Anyone Planning On Playing Me In Storm 3, PSN: Tecq but be warned, I WILLL RAGE QUIT, DELETE & BLOCK if ANYONE, and i mean ANYONE comes fighting me using SPAM CHARACTERS (i dont care if u dont use them to spam so long as they are a spam character) and ESPECIALLYY!!!! This JUMP RUSH B.S that seems to be all the rage since storm 2.. i am FED UP! storm 3 got 88 characters, lots of new stuff and is way more than 1 move bandits and kangaroo trainers… i REFUSE to put up wit dat crap anymore so if u know daz how u gona fight, jus dont bother.. so yeah.. n when u add me jus put S.S in the description so i know you from saiyanisland. that is all…
Obito Uchiha

Oh god no….. black and white.
http://www.facebook.com/alex.anifantis Alex Sam Anif

Well, probably not. I mean, I don’t think they would put both Pain and Edo Nagato in the same game. I could be wrong but I think they would put in more of the new characters and leave out some of the older ones. Jiraiya, Hidan, maybe even Orochimaru. But we’ll get a ton of new and reincarnated characters.
Jōki Bōi

this is great new’s for storm 3!!
Deva_Pain_Path

I’m pretty sure majority of the shippuden characters are in the game. Otherwise it wouldn’t be shippuden. I also think the hokages may even be in this game.
Ruseo

im certain they said all characters minus the kid versions from generations are still in why would they take out characters?
Ruseo

3 letters. CoD. do you really think it matters if its rated M parents buy their kids whatever they want
Bardock-SSJ2

He’s right actually, unless Orochimaru resurrected him, but Hidan for sure won’t be in.
Bardock-SSJ2

lol this makes it the 1st Naruto game to included blood in it lol O_O
Ruseo

So i expect if we get a flashback of sasuke vs itachi in this game itachi will not ough out SPIT like the last bunch of games?
Jōki Bōi

My PSN is ShukakuThe1Tail
http://www.facebook.com/dewayne.glass Dewayne Glass

ok i play u
Deva_Pain_Path

Yeah it wouldn’t make sense to remove characters from the shippuden series otherwise it wouldn’t be a shippuden game and be a rip off.
Deva_Pain_Path

I’m pretty sure they just going to remove pts characters. That’s pretty much about it.
Jōki Bōi

Lets agree that storm 3 will be the greatest Naruto based Videogame of all time
Jōki Bōi

If we get Kisame’s death scene… O^O
http://www.facebook.com/dewayne.glass Dewayne Glass

maybe but if they come out with a new naruto game like on the playstation 4 which its coming out this year then no it wouldnt. not saying there make a storm 4 but in the future they will and it may be call something differant.
Bardock-SSJ2

True XD
http://twitter.com/SSJRaging Junaid Ansari

Thats too early. Usually the company has to ship the game to the manufactures 4-5 weeks prior to release so they can ready the shippments and send them out to the retailers.
Jōki Bōi

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
storm 3 > everything ever no matter how advanced we become in technological gameplay!!
WiiStation360

Why? It’s just cartoon blood. It’s like spilling cherry soda on a piece of paper
WiiStation360

I don’t see what the big deal about blood is
Uchiha Madara

Hopefully this thing isn’t going to be M rated! Storm 3 to M rate lol
WiiStation360

Storm 2 had blood in it. Didn’t you play the Itachi boss fight?
http://www.facebook.com/tsuna.v.sawada.5 Tsuna Vongola Sawada

About time, it’s Naruto for fucks sake.
WiiStation360

Why wouldn’t he?
WiiStation360

No…they finish it the day before release
http://twitter.com/SouthMan316 Leland South

So it would still be pretty cool. The anime is pretty gory.. Kakazu rips out people’s hearts.. They should show that part during the boss battle with reincarnated kakazu..
khunglongconduy

Why are you suprise when Storm 3 include blood.In Storm 2,when Itachi CC2 show we some blood already?
http://www.facebook.com/Tecqno.Freak ScorpionKid Bane

no blood in storm 3 ppl… we’ve never seen it b4, wont see it now. got a T for Teen rating only because of the violence of the game (fighting game with big ass giant scary looking monsters after all) and because of online capabilities (where we would be online with our headsets cursing each other out n threating to kill one another -.-) along with that user-created content and dlc which may be included.. other than that, all u MAY see is BLACK DOTS SPLATTER in the game, no REAL RED BLOOD SPLATTER where we see cuts dripping blood on people or holes in their chest etc… dont even hold your breath google it if you dont believe me
http://www.facebook.com/alex.marrero.315 Alex Marrero

There was red blood in the Itachi vs Sasuke fight in storm 2. But other then that tiny bit in possibly a scene or 2, you are right.
Bardock-SSJ2

lol, I actually can’t remember lol XD
Jaye J

Exactly, times have changed since I was younger lol or at least it’s definitely different from the way I was raised. Kids nowadays get to watch and play whatever they want. There are 10 year olds who play an array of M rated games. So I don’t understand what’s the deal with Naruto. In order to stay true to the manga/anime we’re gonna need some blood CC2 and not just some black & white in Mifune’s ultimate.
Guest

Yea, last week I actually went back and played it.
http://www.facebook.com/duffy.steffanni Duffy Steffanni

It should be M Rated I mean come on. Look at the bloody original manga Examples… Kakazu, Gaara, Narutos hand, Eyes getting ripped out. Blood (and even gore) would make Itachis killing spree and death way more legit. Then maybe they can make a real damn DBZ game!
Felipe Pereira dos Santos

I wonder who are the “two characters impaled on a creature’s claw”……what scene is that?
Thee Pervy Sage

i hope they keep the kid versions. you think that a fighting game would just continue to add new characters and never take away older ones.
http://www.facebook.com/duffy.steffanni Duffy Steffanni

shukaku?

Kushina and Minato..
Felipe

i wonder who are the “two characters impaled on a creature’s claw”….what scene is that?
http://www.facebook.com/duffy.steffanni Duffy Steffanni

not as much as it needed to compare to the manga version.
Felipe

Oh, that’s right, nevermind. Sorry for the double post, i’m having account problems.

I loled when i read this, haha.

finally blood!!!!
http://www.facebook.com/duffy.steffanni Duffy Steffanni

Blood should have already been in Naruto , But thanks Namco Bandai, Now make a real damn Dragonball Z game!!!!!
SalsaMixRedevil666

BLOODDDDD!!!!!!! LOTS and LOTS of BLOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL

Vasto_Lord_Dizzy

seriously ppl complain about the stupidest aspects of this game, and why stop at rated m? they should just make it rated A cause there is proboly some ppl in some village having sex so throw it in!! -_-
heartlessniggasprosper

I completely agree with you. I mean when was a fighting game ever meant for kids? Ridiculous as to how much blood is shown in the original Dragonball Z and even Naruto but these companies look to market the game to 10 year olds. I mean I’ll still get the game regardless but it takes away from an authentic experience a bit. At least Tenkaichi utilized battle damage after an ultimate; I’d love to see that incorporated into a storm game.
Rayson

Then I won’t be able to get the game -_- then I will kick your ass. Blood in this game isn’t serious, a lot of ppl will not be able to get the game if its M rated for 2 splats which would make go down in sells.
Rayson

No sells, no more Naruto out of 1,0000 out of a few are grown ppl, i think naruto isn’t taken serious as a adult game, i want blood but i also want the game > blood in game.
http://www.facebook.com/EddyScoutBobea Eddy Bobea

i remember that chrono cross have blood in some cutscenes and was rated E, a little bit of blood could make the game more related to the manga!
http://twitter.com/mathhorse Reid Smiff

And magically press physical copies of the game instantaneously and then distribute them to retailers all over the country overnight, just like Santa.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002187575494 Zeke Asakura

If rated M then that’s a good thing. Keeping some spamming kids off of storm 3. More mature people the better.
Edo 2nd Hokage

This should make the game a little more fun. I really hope Madara and Edo itachi and Edo nagato will be confirmed soon.
shafiq95

dude,its not gory.If you’re talking about Berserk,then Yes, I can agree with it
EA575

“another cutscenes depicts two characters impaled on a creature’s claw—blood appears on the claw as well as the characters’ mouths.”
Minato and Kushina T_T
DonJah

That would seriously cut the sales of the game, so I don’t think that’s even considered… I myself am all for that.
DonJah

Define spam character. If you ask me every character is spammable, some just less effective than others.
http://www.facebook.com/ace.johnson.315 Ace Johnson

Im pretty sure the non-adversary and enemy reference is Zabuza cutting down Haku to get to Kakashi.
Sasuke-Kun

your totally right obito.
Portgas D Ace

They should put blood but not like Mortal Kombat’s blood that you punch the air and you see blood. They should copy Budokai Tenkaichi series about the changes of the outfit for the damage. However, I would love if the ultimates jutsus can’t be blocked, just dodge it. Because I do a Kamui and you just block it? WTF is that? you can block a “portal” to another dimension? and this is just an example, Ultimates CANT be blocked
Damian Pawłowski

blood bloOD BLOOD!!! , GORE, GUTS, SLASHING BODY INTO 2 PARTS!!, DESTROING ALL BODY IN TO LITRES OF BLOOD!!! Ahahahahahajeeeeeee : D.

This can be very funny xD, Our opponent have a Support that have only one health left, he use a support we use a katon, katon hit the support and support body is destroyed and the litres of blood just split xD. OH MY GOD YOU KILLED KARIN, YOU BASTARD!!!
Or just destroyed opponent body just by throwing a little bomb.
Cut his stomach and he run around the map with guts outside xD

This can be very funny if the body will be random damaged just like in the happy wheels game xD
Maybe it beat Mortal Combat xD
Ultimate jutsu at the end of match and instead of ,,WE HAVE A WINNER” there will be ,,FATALITY”
JUTSU_MASTER

LOL agreed. but doubt it will be like that
david paw

What you guys crying about? Gore, blood, cuss word? Come on. No matter what CC2 did to this, it’s awesome already, even without this goriness. It might be cool if they put it in, but less audience won’t make another awesome Naruto games.
nicholas deo

This anime is gory compared to most animes. It should be rated at least 15 and over. Berserk is gory, but it has too much rape scenes. Which is its downside
julian alexander

They must be referring to Mifunes ultimate
James

THANK U CC2!!! I hope they add danzo getting owned and stabbed by sasuke.
Madara

many bloody fans huh?
JohnStormNIN PT

I JUST WANT MADARA, EDO ITACHI, EDO NAGATO, PAKURA….and so on….the missing Characters…I don’t care about if is blood in the game…please give me a break…

I think blood is kinda of a good thing, I mean in the anime and manga don’t you see blood . . . . . . .exactly my point.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000059005729 Alex Cassel

You SERIOUSLY think Naruto is “gory”? LOL Naruto is childsplay when it comes to gore. How ’bout you look up Elven Lied? THAT is “gory”. For real though guys? Come on now. You sound like a bunch of 5 year olds.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000059005729 Alex Cassel

This is Naruto, not DBZ. -_-
http://twitter.com/SouthMan316 Leland South

Naruto is not for kids that are like 12-13 years olds.. 15-18 is is what the ESRB should be.. Rated M.
Chance Davis

I think its about time there was blood. Storm series is the most realistic games compared to the manga and anime. But I think After Storm the the should make it Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm WARS!! As a final tribute to naruto. It should have more than 2 people head to head. Hell it should have things like free for all and teamdeathmatch with 8 to 16 people and war sized maps. and more realistic damage. Like kunais should do more damage. And things like Rasengan and chidori should do almost kill damage but they are just easier to dodge because of the straighter paths and the noise they make. Just give players a warning sense like spiderman, or in the AvP game to give characters warnings of whats coming at and behind them to make them better ninja battles! THAT IS WHAT I’m WAITING FOR!!! Anyone agree?!?!
julian alexander

LOOOOOOOOOOL :v like santa…ooh i luv santa
julian alexander

Then again it would be cool if they added battle damage like ripe garment and red cuts/scrathes
DbzOnePiece1234

Not to be mean but why is blood that important we will probably not even notice it.
lightdarkgamer

it dosent mather for me … i will pick it up for sure !!! wiii iam ecxite mann !! whos with mee … hope they put edo nagato in itt !!! ? pls cc2 and pakura +garii
Zeke

only gory part was when obito saw rin die … that was a blood bath.
Zeke

AT LEAST PUT THE BLOOD ON THE EYES FOR AMATERASU MAKE IT MORE REALISTIC
Zeke

obito made a blood bath of ninja. GG
Zeke

at least put it on some skills that make blood happen … or put it in the cutsenses thats what i lookin for
KingRuff

So what you are saying is that kids don’t buy COD because its rated M? Don’t even try that crap you know rating has little to no effect on sales.
KingRuff

You probably own a ton of M rated games. Don’t lie. We were playing Mortal Kombat when I was 5! I seriously doubt kids all of a sudden stopped playing M rated games.
André Vila Franca

GREAT NEWS!! I always wanted blood in the NARUTO games, this way the NARUTO Universe is more realistically portraied!
http://twitter.com/Keviouk KuroPansa

There will be blood !
http://www.facebook.com/mateo.m.camacho Mateo Mancera Camacho

We are talking about realistic things in naruto’s world, i mean the kamui’s example is perfect, how the hell putting yor arms in front of you can saves you from a portal, an amaterasu,a rasenshuriken, a raikiri?…it should at least broke your guard and let you stunned or something, it just has nosense in that. And for spammers, you have sub bar and ninja move, if that is not enough, you can spam them, or just disconect…
shafiq95

THIS!!!l Look up Ninja Scroll as well.
http://www.facebook.com/mateo.m.camacho Mateo Mancera Camacho

NO it would make this game an M game and it is not going to happen,it just confirms tha we will see blood’s shadow, black/white shadow (mifune-type), and some kind of red blood just when it is Impsosible to hide or delete it (itachi bosbatle -type)
shafiq95

15 and over?lol i can assure you that almost all of us here were younger than 15 when we started this anime….the blood here is nothing compared to animes like Ninja Scroll
http://www.facebook.com/mateo.m.camacho Mateo Mancera Camacho

You mean thatis better than a possibly storm 4 whichlead us into the end of the war (possibly)and the end of naruto’s series (possibly) …or better than agenerations2(im almost sure ihappen) where you can fight with almost ALL the characters showed ever (fighting) ?????
vladisimo93

Sincerly who even cares about the blood? I mean c mon it s a game it will he good with or without blood you sound like a bunch of babies
vladisimo93

Same here
DbzOnePiece1234

ikr?
vladisimo93

I also don t understand why is it such a big deal about that blood these guys seem to live in a virtual world
vladisimo93

Yeah they sound as some people which think that a game is a reality they should get over it ,they seem living in a virtual world
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001590471986 Nathan Turple

exactly all we’ll probably see is a few splatters of blood in the whole game and thats it.The ESRB are just idiots.
Caique Justino Deodato

its Mifune Ultimate not Hanzo!
Jōki Bōi

Don’t believe there will be another storm game after storm 3 so yeah pretty much.
Ruseo

I just think it takes away from the scenes like when hinata jumped in front of pain in storm 2 and he stabs her and his spike was Clearly underneath her arm like a child does to fake an accident. What is more irritating is the cut out suggestive themes like her saying I love you to naruto.
vladisimo93

oh…the horror how can you live you re life after seing those things.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000141453870 Yarin Israel Cohen

Blood on boobs totally :3
Ruseo

I dont know why your dramatizing it. But it would be like watching final destination with all the death scenes cut out. Its just not the same
James

I know they arn’t telling us the real total amount of blood, guys this is just them telling us how violent it can get, because there will be scenes of sasuke’s eye bleeding or danzo getting stabbed brutally. Example- they reviewed storm generations saying it had some bad language and only told us the word “Damn you!” will be in the game when fact is Hidan says “Hell no!”, Sasuke says “You Screw up!”, and even kabuto says “Now im pissed!”. So its just prior to what is gonna be in the game and MORE. I for one do care about the blood cuz if its in the anime it should be in the game as well. Fact is this isn’t for kids at all. Especially Shippuden.
Freesun4

Where is the blood? The site never showed it.
vladisimo93

I don t know what final destination is i m not into movies or video games I Just play naruto because it s the only cartoon i still watch and i ve like it since a kid so i m not dramatising you re the one doing that..
vladisimo93

Ps if it s not the same don t buy it you people always have something to complain it really pisses me of when i see how easy it is for you siting behind a pc and sayng do this do that when you have no clue about how hard is it .
slicethemadara

yes it has blood but come on we all know that there’s not going to be alot.
TruGalt

Now we just need character damage like Soul Calibur V; scars, jacked up hair, broken armor, etc.
Zach

That’s probably what they’re referring to when they said “scene depicting a character slashing at a non-adversary and an enemy during a standoff”
Zancrow

Elfen*
BMNARUTO

In that case, dodging Might Guys UJ would be close to impossible since he kind of teleports stright beside his opponent.
Jōki Bōi

Does not have to be alot just a little bit makes it more realistic.

Best comment on SaiyanIsland.
Edo_Nagato

i’m hoping they’ll put me in the game i kinda get lonely in Susanoo’s gourd, i’d love to be sponsored ^_^ lol
Portgas D Ace

When a character do the UJ, there is a “stop” in the game, when you see that, you only have to move right or left, and you will dodge it, and if it thats not enough, you can do the replacment technique
Michael1996

I don’t care if there’s blood I wanna know more about gameplay.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Serket-Hamo/100001242494472 Serket Hamo

BLOOD mmmmmmmm
Bdock3601

no i think that is the scene with haku and kakashi being slashed at by zabuza
http://www.facebook.com/people/Serket-Hamo/100001242494472 Serket Hamo

We only gey 8 boss battles didnt CC2 say that storm 3 will have more boss battles then storm 2 since storm 2 had 9 boss battles ????
Sasuke Uchiha 155109

It would be fun with blood splatter it would like Ninja Gaiden 2 and 3. lol and happened to the language like storm 2.?. I mean its not so much of a rated T game. It like its rated E10+
sasukeuchiha1808

I hope the ‘blood’ is like it is in mortal kombat. I mean the first punch of a combo and you can see blood flying out of the mouth of the victim. Also if they’re adding blood, they should add more detail e.g. Amaterasu not fading after its use( although this would get quite wild when using EMS Sasuke or Susanoo Sasuke), cuts on characters, stage destruction, clothing damage. Also when people like Kisame awakens his akatsuki robe shouldn’t come back on when he powers down. I like how Sasuke true spear after awakening, his robe thingy is around his waste, that was realistic.
bob

dude elven lied is child plays…..
Ruseo

easy way to do amaterasu would be to have the last 3 or 4 stay on the map and whoever touches it user or opponent gets hurt by it
Ruseo

lol why are you getting so defensive. Im not attacking you. And I dont know why you are saying you people. Im not on a side You said how you felt and I said how I felt. Its not a thing worth fighting or getting upset about. Its just two people with different opinions. Your happy either way and i would be more happy if they made them game for teen to adult when the themes in the show are teen to adult.

joe davis

well personally i thnk they shld hve blood in hack and slash
James

Have u even saw the trailers? They shown plenty of blood already with mifunes ultimate and hanzos jutsu where he slices the enemy with red gushing blood.
Also they just dont wanna spoil us with them showing us too much things. Thats a fact too cuz we havent seen shin, dan, or edo sasori playable so clearly there keeping secrets.
TCh

Maybe there are Episodes in the chapters? XD so like 10 fights for each chapter like storm 2 did had like 10 fights in NEARLY all the chapters :3

Make Rikodou Sennin Playable and They Should Reicarnate Him In Manga/Anime
I are Pro k

I bet it’ll be like Tekkens blood just like when you play as Lars in Storm 2
CC2 reccomndations

Naruto should have a super hard story mode in storm 2 the super hard was super easy.

hack and slash is gay

storm3 should have a bonus storymode for players that didnt play storm 2

Me and lots of people want red blood in real time battle, not only some cut scene with black blood! COME ON CC2!!!
narutonatsu

sadly games not going that far
I are Pro k

I agree
James

Dude all their doing is telling whats gonna be in the game, so how does that make them babies? Im glad that CC2 are adding blood into the scenes. Naruto games should have blood just like its anime/manga adaption.
thelastuzamaki

only one who sounds like a baby is you here so relax
thelastuzamaki

really pisses us off when u act like in a country i fought for that there opinions about a game make u so angry and fyi i do understand how hard it is for the companies..but i still have my right to an opinion

cartoons are for preteens naruto is an anime for teens and up hince the rating
James

It doesnt matter what color the scene is, people will still know its blood dumbass…

Obito Uchiha

Rating in the US have always been ridiculous especially from things in Japan ever seen the original Yu-Gi-Oh cards? They slightest sight of a female’s cleavage in a card was Censored, same with cards that got represented the slightest amount of religion in it. Even the pokemon cards weren’t safe from the Ridicolounes, Jinx (Pokemon) “Represented” a black person so it was recolored purpe when it actually represented an activity of sorts in Japan. Blood in Naruto isn’t that heavy (Anime Wise, the Manga changes that) so there isn’t really a point in putting that much ammount of blood in it.
Obito Uchiha

God of War is a good hack and slash also I’m also planing on getting the new Metal Gear. Hack n Slack isn’t that bad just try it out you’ll like it.

Wait so when were fighting in free battle mode and the character has a blade tht means blood wuld be flying? Just a question

AWESOME WAY TO END THE GAME!
okay…after the fight with madara and obito, it cuts to the Hokages being reanimated :O and it ends there with to be continued

UpgradeJ

putting in larger amounts of blood doesn’t change the effectiveness of the image, thats why an anime scene of a man being cut in half is awesome/frightening with or without blood. Little details like blood splatters aren’t what matter, giving every character an ultimate jutsu, awakening/transformation, and an ultimate to go with said awakening is all that matters. If i find that like the last 2 games EVERY character has only 1 super move im not gonna support CC2 and buy a used copy of the game, because sadly i live in a world where not even on the internet can i find someone else who cares that only Storm 1 had characters who would have a 2nd ultimate if they had a transformation.

XD true, but close to it XD it is going by the manga afterall

vladisimo93

Jaye J

I don’t mean for them to put a hunk amount of blood, but in a series such as Naruto,the different scenes and parts in the manga, there is a need for blood. They are ninjas. I care plenty that CC2 do a good job with this, just like many people do. It would be nice if each character still had the awakening ultimates but it’s kinda understandable why they don’t, do to online they had to rehash alot of things. What I really want added back is three health bars, now that wouldn’t affect online play at all.
Toed

Hopefully now Amaterasu won’t look like Sasuke’s guyliner is running.
That bugged me so much in Storm 2 and Generations
evokeyourpersona

hey guys, do you think it was wise of CC2 to skip the whole thing? what i meant is after that battle with tobi, you skip through 16 years right until the start of the five kage summit. so, do you think they should that? just asking :/
Pro Era

That Obito dude is just sad, he goes around the internet as a manga character. Is your life so sh-tty you have to be someone else?
Pro Era

Oh, and they’re referring to the impalement scene when Kurama’s claw went through Minato and Kushina
SalvadorRamirez

this ain’t GTA fool ya fool and not that much mild language will be shown (I wish for a bit anime has more words to say)
tin4o19

correct me if i’m wrong but in the character select screen here are 5 suna shinobi
4 of them are gaara, kankuro, temari and the 4th kazekage so there might be a chance pakura to be the 5th suna shinobi and if she is playable the chance of gari to be in is very big too
pls leave me comments of what you think
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003901522824 Jaber Almarzouqi

i think it’s 2 gaara’s , temari , kankuro , chiyo , 4th kazekage.. that’s all six of them.

Tsunade gets ripped apart in the manga from the torso by Madara.. That’s gory. And would love to see that in Storm 3…
sasukeuchiha1808

Naa there will be an edo sasori
sasukeuchiha1808

I hope the blood is like the anime when its coming from their mouth and not just splatting all over the place. Also when Kakashi does his lightning blade, it should leave a hole in the victims clothes to be more realistic

ahhhh … come out already game.. maaaaan… only one month .. NO … 1 YEAR LEFT
lololololol

I agree that the rating wouldn’t change the sales all that much, but this game doesn’t really warrant an “M” Rating. Like people have already been saying, the only really gory part was Obito going crazy. Everything else either wasn’t gory, or was seen through shadows on the wall.
lololololol

You are just asking for online spam. Bad idea.

I have great news about this game DD.. The story will definetly feature Madara Uchiha and Sage Kabuto. U ask how do I know? Well, BandaiCG releases 3 cards from Storm 3 every day and today they released a Card that features Demonic Statue of the Outer Path fighting against Naruto, and in manga, that only happens after Obito Summons it, after Kabuto’s defeat.
James

Are you stupid? Have u even saw the jiraiya vs pain fight, narutos parents getting stabbed, or hidan killing asuma stabbing himself? Dude, that was real effin bloody!! CC2 can do whatever they please with the blood in this game. Thk god their even adding any you ungrateful smartass. >_>
CC2 reccomndations

hopefully obito and storm 3 doesnt have much boss battles as storm 2 that sux to be honest it has chapters with plain battles and animation u noe… AND IT DOESNT HAVE KABUTO VS SASUKE AND ITACHI WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF BUT IT HAS MADARA VS 5 KAGE FULL BATTLE
nicholas deo

The uchiha clan massacre, pein raiding konoha, kakuzo ripping hearts and more. I’d say anyone bellow 15 would think its real *cough the guy who commuted suicide over Itachi cough*. Ninja scroll is pretty much a movie and naruto is a anime. Like I said compared to some animes naruto is gory to an extent. Think what you want kid
nicholas deo

We can only hope lol
nicholas deo

Elfen lied is goryer then anything. You are acting like a total kid lol, naruto is gory to an extent. Elfen lied is cut through everything lol, naruto is like massacre the uchiha, raid konoha and tobi stabbing through everyone to get to his gf. I have said so many times that naruto is gory compared to some animes. One piece, bleach, ichiban(name is too long), full metal alchemist etc. It’s not gory compared to animes like Elfen lied, berserk and others, so don’t get too butthurt over it
Obito Uchiha

Yeah don’t really like Obito, Tobi for me was better before he became Madara’s B!tch
Obito Uchiha

Is this what you do in every reply? Do you just like to start a fight with a person that you clearly don’t even know. I personally would like it if we had a civilized conversation instead of you putting unnecessary comments on posts of mine, but seeing as you’re just a 12 Year old who has a poor intellect and is happy due to the fact that he can offend behind his computer that’ll be clearly impossible for you unlike myself who was actually taught to respect others can. Well have fun 12 Year old James by watching Naruto, Naruto, and of Course Naruto.
thegameroflegend

dude if you like gore then watch shigurui death frenzy its on netflix and it is quit gory
Portgas D Ace

Why spam? It costs Chakra, even if you fail it, so I don’t understand what is the problem, is more realistic try to dodge it or do the replacment technique than just block it, I mean, how the hell you can block an Amaterasu, Kamui or Rasenshuriken and cancell it?
GameFreak667

It mentions the scene where Kushina and Minato get stabbed by 9 tails’ claw.

Whew. I was actually worried about them cutting out the blood in that scene. Not saying that blood makes it a good game, it would just be unrealistic if they didn’t include blood there.
Hagareno

Pretty bloody, but nothing extreme. Most of the stuff in the show would get the game a T rating still if they included most of it, which I hope they did. Even Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood/manga got a T rating despite some really MA type scenes with soldiers killing children and helpless people+limbs being severed in almost every battle, and organs being shown.
Lao

I hope Uchiha Shisui is in the game. People should suggest things on the cc2 page. A lot of less
relevant characters are already in the game, it’s a pity if he isn’t.
James

nahh I only fight with people who don’t appreciate good gaming. And I watched other anime, but they dont compare to naruto’s greatness. So grow up and admit that your wrong about naruto not being violent in the anime. By the way Im 19 years old you dumb f*ck.
Obito Uchiha

Why do you you think i post on an Anime site focused on games? to disrespect them? There is clearly Anime that is better than Naruto without even having to be Hundreds of episodes long Shut-In, LOL why the hell do you think it’s called Shounen Jump look up the Shounen term for once, Even sadder if i argued with someone who is clearly older than me and has a smaller intellect compared to mine. Well then have fun 19 Year old Shut-In James!
James

cause your a f*cking f*g who is making fun of naruto and the amount of blood they are gonna add to it, also FMA is shounen and thats tv-MA so it doesnt matter. I know what it means you moron. Im just gonna ignore you egotistacal bastard and have a good day
James

@ObitoUchiha get a freaking life and stop maiing fun of ESRB. They are stating facts and tellings us how bad ass this naruto game will be with the blood. If your mad about it then don’t buy it. Also Obito is a b*tch point valid.
Hao Asakura

If you look at a game like Dead Space 3, youll see that the vast majority are older teens and adults. Very few of those sales are going to 8 year olds. CoD is a special case really. Naruto game sales don’t compare to those of CoD for a reason. If this game got an M rating, it would hurt sales. I didn’t say that it would no longer be a worthy investment for them, but there are still plenty of parents out there who won’t let there children play something that was clearly intended for adults. Naruto is a shounen manga. It was not made for an adult audience. Almost all of us here grew up with it, so we still find much enjoyment in the series today.
CC2 reccomndations

exactly blood has to be in it make it M FOR MATURE LMFAOO
MTG Akiro

Will Everyone stop fighting about blood did YOU NOT READ THIS THERE IS NOT MUCH BLOOD SO JUST STOP YOUR WINING IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT THEN DONT GET THE GOD DANG GAME AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ANIME HAVING TO MUCH BLOOD
i mean do you really expect every anime not have blood i mean really get realistic
Peyton G.

Why the h°°° do people care about the rating?! dont say your age as to do with it because i am under 14 and play rated M games! They shouldnt rate it M for the blood but if they do then oh well. but ya, the blood shouldnt even be covered up with black and white color because blood is a part of life.
Guest

I smell VIRGINITY
david paw

Somehow, I agreed with you.
UpgradeJ

now that i think about it, its fine since all this game has going against it is human looking characters + blood = T rating. If there were more realistic moves being done that lead to large blood spurts it would borderline M rating.

oh, thanx. that’s how it was
