Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Announced For Switch

Updated visuals are nice, but since I already own the trilogy on Switch, I think I'm good on this one.

At least continue the Boruto arcs if your gonna continue Ninja Storm not recycle Naruto vs Sasuke

Still waiting for a physical release of these games

Edit: I just found out that this one is getting a physical release. Not sure why the first three didn't I'll take what I can get.

Naruto was definitely a huge part of my childhood, but Shippuden was a mixed bag. The second half of the show had awful pacing. Maybe I'll check this out one day, but I have much fonder feelings towards One Piece and Bleach these days.

@Aurumonado This isn't a re-release of the first three. It's more like a "greatest hits" of story scenarios featuring Naruto and Sasuke. You're not going to get the interactive adventure bits or the many side stories/battles that don't feature Sasuke

This sounds like something I'd like to, "Shadow possession jiu-jitsu". (Wouldn't mind getting)

@Ade117 I think both are great, but I personally prefer Shippuden over the original series because I found the antagonists and story plot to be more engaging.

The last arc definitely dragged, but it's worth a watch if you enjoyed the original. Just be sure to skip all of the Infinite Tsukoyami dreamworld fillers. Those were awful.

I remember playing one of these games at my friend’s house when i was younger. It was fun, might pick this up if it isn’t super expensive

@Ade117 Shippuden was great too until Itachi's arc

The storm series are good but not as good as GNT games (GameCube and Wii). GNT titles had better fighting system but the problem is that the company Tomy/8ing was not so big as Bandai Namco and did not support as it should the whole series. Many frame rate problems in 4player mode in the latest games, not many variety and not many characters but at least in GameCube the GNT3 and GNT4 were perfect for 4player mayhem! I hope for a new entry with updated graphics, characters. It is such a missed opportunity. I know they have to pay a lot of money for the franchise rights but maybe they could port the old ones with better graphics, etc.

@nkarafo Those games are amazing. Did you know there's a Discord server that has translations for both the latest Naruto and Naruto Shippuden Clash games? They hold competitions too. It's wonderful.

Lazy cash grab, these games not need remaster at all they looks good, i don't think they can looks better at least on Switch. I was hoping for Storm 5 focusing on Boruto with story gameplay like in Storm 2 or just do game like DBZ Kakarot in Naruto universe.

@pennylessz Yes I know about discord! I am playing sometime with my softmod Wii, Naruto GNT4 with translation and some tweaks (hacked version). It's better than the original and has some stages/music more. I didn't like Shippuden so much because in 4player mode, one or two players have to die to have 60 fps! So stupid! And it's not so graphics demanding game but apparently it has bad code.. I like Minato and Bee and some other characters but it's this stupid problem. I am playing with friends and that's why we have stuck to GameCube GNT4.

@Ade117 I almost feel like around the end it wasn’t remotely about ninjas anymore, and that whole Naruto finding his own ninja way even tho it was said everything that happened was destiny, bruh.

No, it hasn’t been 20 years….I’m not that old… checks calendar WHAT YEAR IS iT?!

Seriously though it’s always odd to me that sometimes it feels like new gens aren’t getting new franchises. So much feels like either a franchise won’t end or it keeps getting revived so it feels like a time bubble. So weird. Where is the new stuff?

I'm interested. Love this series.

honestly, as much as I like this series... this feels like a bit too much milking, the Trilogy and Storm 4 are all on Switch. and I don't see anything here that couldn't simply be DLC for Storm 4.

I really wished Bandai would just take the Ninja Storm formula and paste it onto another IP, can you image how much mileage they could get out of a "One Piece Ultimate Pirate Storm"?

@Dom_31 except they already started to adapt Boruto stuff in the last game. I doubt revisiting Naruto vs Sasuke Part 12 Electric Boogaloo is any more exciting.
