English Subtitles?
Anyone know where to buy the game in Japanese language but with English Subtitles? 99.235.44.100 (talk) 19:38, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

What are you talking about? The game already does that, just like in the first one. You can choose to play with either Japanese or English dialogue. --MrGreenBeanz (talk) 07:11, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

The game isn't out yet in any territory. Skitts (talk) 19:51, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Is this game gonna have madara, muu and the jinchurriki and the other guys from the impure world resurrection? That'd be sick.--76.92.243.71 (talk) 18:32, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

Kabuto Yakushi & Kabutomaru
The hooded Kabuto with Orochimaru's remains (the one teamed with Tobi), or as fans like to call him "Kabutomaru", has been confirmed in a recent scan LeeHatake93 (talk) 06:17, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

 * Ah, but "Kabutomaru" is not an official name. There needs to be a more generic term for him post operation/assimilation.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 09:08, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

Here's a link for even more confirmation that Kabuto (with Orochimaru's cells) is playable in this game: http://www.saiyanisland.com/2012/02/kabutomaru-confirmed-playable-in-naruto-generations/

Japanese Audio, English Subtitles?
I know someone has already asked, but the answer wasn't clear. Does anyone know if this game will be released with Japanese Audio and English Subtitles? One of the answers said there will be an option in the game, but which version? Also, where is the evidence that it will continue this "tradition" with this new game? A link would help! 99.235.44.100 (talk) 16:00, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think so. At least in the previews, there have been many videos of fights that clearly have Japanese audio and English subtitles. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:05, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

It should have the option to switch the voices to Japanese. BOth of the previous games had this feature and it wouldn't make any sense to not continue the tradition. 69.29.133.12 (talk) 17:39, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Demo
Just a random question, but why doesn't this page mention the demos of the game? The Japanese demo released Jan 25 2012, I believe. The North American demo releases today and I think the European one released around February 15th or so. I'm not sure. 69.29.133.12 (talk) 17:37, February 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * They are mentioned. Near the end of the first paragraph in the development section. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:42, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Yea i try to keep the page as updated as possible ^.^ the only thing i dont know is the release for the European demo...all they said was sometime in February but it might be today along with the North American one...i dont know though just a guess XaleraUchiha (talk) 18:43, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Speaking of the North American demo, does anyone on here have it yet? I've looked on the Playstation Store and haven't seen it all day. any ideas of when they'll post it? LeeHatake93 (talk) 00:24, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Nope and we will have it whenever Sony decides to update the PSN, which i heard it probably wont be until late XaleraUchiha (talk) 00:34, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Full Nine-tails?
There is a rumor that Naruto can be played in his full Nine-tails mode. Not the initial one, but the real one. You know, the one that's bigger than the Hokage Monument.--Naruto 713 (talk) 02:33, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I apologise in advance. Common sense should tell you that something Naruto just achieved in the manga is certain not to appear in the game. The only thing about the Nine-Tails that big so far is in Tobi's ultimate. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:55, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

At the latest, they'll only reach Confining the Jinchuriki, which means no Bijuu Mode Naruto. Naruto is playable in his intitial Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and Masked Man/Tobi summons the Nine-Tails for his ultimate, but there's no Bijuu Mode. I bet Namco and CC2 are saving them for Storm 3.

Madara Uchiha
Hi, just leaving the source for the new character in Ninja Storm Generations, Madara Uchiha. I went to the gamestop website for the pre-order details and it contains a list of confirmed characters. After Danzo, it states that Madara Uchiha is playable.

Sincerely, AlexVK1

It would be nice if you left a direct link as well. Found it. Nice try but no go. http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/games/naruto-shippuden-ultimate-ninja-storm-generations/92853#productDetails Its in the comments section. Sorry but someone posting a character list in the comments section isn't going to work. The comment is by agentvj233 posted on feb 11th. Customer comments are not reputable sources.Umishiru (talk) 05:50, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

They were probably just talking about the Masked Man when they said it 107.8.107.124 (talk) 11:08, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Doesn't matter, they aren't a reputable source anyway.Umishiru (talk) 03:17, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Confirmed: No Madara Uchiha
This link confirms it, and this guy is pretty trustworthy with any and all information he provides. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK1KFErVNrQ&feature=channel sorry, Madara fans. Looks like we'll just have to wait for Storm 3 to be able to play as this Uchiha since the bottom two rows are support only LeeHatake93 (talk) 13:12, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Interesting video showed up
Someone send me this. I doubt it's real, what do you guys think? Seelentau 愛議 19:16, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's actually from the game. It was widely advertised that the game would contain 60+ minutes of animations by Studio Pierot (don't know if I spelled their name right), who makes the anime. While it's not fake, I don't think it should be considered canon, not until some official source says they got the content that was animated by Kishimoto. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:24, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow... it looks nice, though. Could believe we're gonna see this in the Anime, too. Anyway, thanks for the answer :) Seelentau 愛議 19:57, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Wow i have been waiting like the entirety of naruto for just a glimsp at their fight that was epic now lets see it on a fully grand scale. --Zenryoku90 (talk) 22:14, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Masked Man/Tobi
i dont know why but this has been annoying me.....why to people keep calling Masked Man Serious Tobi? I thought Tobi is a cover up for Madara which comes WAY after Masked Man's time.....im highly confused o.O 107.8.107.124 (talk) 03:08, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest you to read the manga ;) Seelentau 愛議 15:18, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Masked Man is Tobi. Madara Uchiha is someone completely different 69.29.133.12 (talk) 17:38, February 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * SPOILER* Ok cause ive only recently gotten back into reading the manga and i just finished the part where Madara talked to Pain and Konan about Sasuke's sharingan in the Rain Village and he had the same mask as tobi and i was all like wtf 107.8.107.124 (talk) 19:23, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Madara Filler Fight
I just noticed some with the Japanese version of the game have started uploaded parts of the game to Youtube. One in particular of the filler animation: Madara vs Hashirama. Even if the link is removed, I want to know how ware we going to handle these Storm Generations only ova like fillers? Will we give them individual articles, make an article with all of them on it with each battle given a summary, or a summary for each in this page.Umishiru (talk) 21:25, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Those are anime style cutscenes made exclusively for the games story mode. They are not ova.--Deva 27 21:34, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Regardless we need to decide what to do with them. Just got done watching it and it showed Madara using Wind release with his fan. Should we list it on the character page as having wind release but game only or anime only?Umishiru (talk) 21:36, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * We don't list game natures and techniques in the infobox. Its also not from the actual anime, so it shouldn't be listed. It was made only for the game.--Deva 27 21:41, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * But we did so for the Storm 1 game OVA.Umishiru (talk) 21:42, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * But wasn't that actually advertised as an OVA? I don't think an OVA article is necessary, because otherwise we'd have many other OVA articles, though I see no harm in mentioning the new stuff where it's appropriate, such as techniques and their users, or how the valley of the end was formed and all. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:35, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, i mean they wouldnt put anything new in for a character if Masashi Kishimoto didnt agree with it, so i say we add it in for Madara XaleraUchiha (talk) 23:43, February 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Until such time that we can more accurately define how much influence certain parties had in this content, I agree with Deva 27, in that we regard and treat it in the same manner as game only content. Blackstar1 (talk) 00:17, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * @XaleraUchiha Considering they have the license to produce the games based on the series, I highly doubt they have to go to Kishimoto for things like that. The anime teams add/change random stuff in the series too, contradicting things that Kishimoto said in the series. Anyway, I'm with Deva and Blackstar1. Skitts (talk) 00:25, February 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok i agree with you on the licensing thing, though i still say it should be added XaleraUchiha (talk) 00:28, February 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I managed to find some information on this topic, taken from an interview with Hiroshi Matsuyama — President and CEO of CyberConnect 2 (the game's developer):
 * "In particular, the developers and animation studios have worked very closely together to create new content that will be considered canon, which adds up to around sixty minutes of additional anime content." —
 * Keep in mind that this could be little more than Matsuyama's opinion, as the article makes no direct note of either Studio Pierrot's or, more importantly, Kishimoto's stance on the matter. Blackstar1 (talk) 00:34, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Are not those cards directly from Kishi ? : P If it's not canon then they went too far with this. I'm for "in anime only" thing --Elveonora (talk) 17:46, February 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok TheUltimaet3's chiming in. After sitting down and watching at the First vs Madara battle, I can honestly say that it was like one of those "bonus material" found on DVDs. The quality was superb, nothing contradicted what we already know. It was very very good. And based on entirely what I can find, these additions or expansions as they appear to be are more in vain of Anime additions. So if what I want goes through, how do you set the bar?


 * 1) Things that appear in the anime OVA would count as anime and thus "Anime Only".
 * 2) Things that appear in the game proper it would count as "Game Only" and kept out of infobox.
 * 3) Information from the OVAs that don't contradict what was seen can be added, with the disclaimer, "In game released OVA" or something of that fashion.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~  18:27, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure we should consider this sequence as anime. It was anime-style, but still pertaining the game. That OVA with 3D graphics, that was released as anime with game look, but we still consider it anime don't we? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:40, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

I think it should be treated as an OVA. If a longer more detailed version appears later in anime as an "extension arc" then it should be taken as filler. --Elveonora (talk) 18:54, February 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Basically how I felt from it, Elveonora. The Madara one played out exactly as Tobi said, just instead of a single frame of Nine-Tails vs the First it was an actual fight. Not that any of that have to be mentioned in the article proper as "They fought" pretty much covers the entire thing.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 19:50, February 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * My problem with that is if that's done, then wouldn't things done there have to be accounted for as anime content? It's good and all that they spent time on the stuff and didn't deviate too much from the expected in the Hashirama vs Madara but what if they do in others :s I believe that we should treat the content through the medium it came so anything from this would be "game only", If it's that pressing we could have a section in the game article about the shorts.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 20:19, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

I think it should be clasfified as anime only not game only. It's made by the animation guys and it follows canon pretty closely other than that the Hashirama vs Madara fight is "expanded" and the redone scenes with Haku, Jiraiya etc. lacks blood and much of the gore. --Elveonora (talk) 22:10, February 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Before we continue this discussion further, does someone have a list of the battles shown in this game, and by shown I mean in anime format.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 23:34, February 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * We would need someone who has the japanese version, but if someone doesnt then i can put up a list when i get mine on the 13th XaleraUchiha (talk) 23:42, February 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * There's a post in saiyanisland with links to unlisted videos at youtube (those you can only watch if you have the link), with several of those scenes, all in 1080p. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:49, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

I also think they need to be used and classified as anime only, like the OVA 4 Finally a clash! Jōnin vs. Genin!! Indiscriminate Grand Melee Tournament Meeting!! who was come with the game Naruto: Narutimate Hero 3.

In addition, they don't deviate too much from the manga and expand on some things we will probably never see, like Harashima vs Madara. Light-Revan (talk) 22:08, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wasn't that OVA adapted into or out of the game? Because I know they aired/débuted as two completely different things. Also unlike that OVA these cutsceneses have way more potential to influence the information here. I say call a spade a spade something in the game cannot be "anime".--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 22:18, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

"cannot be anime", but it is -> Anime = a Japanese style of motion-picture animation. "more potential to influence the information here"? Have you seen these videos at least? They are mostly redone scenes, with 2 or 3 featuring something new that don't contradict the manga.

We can use the informations and images of scenes that never was seen before like Harashima vs Madara or Team Minato. For the other redone scenes that contradict both the manga and anime, we have just to ignore them.

It would be silly to miss out on something that was produced by Studio Pierrot who has the right of the anime series. 82.234.21.94 (talk) 00:15, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

It might have been produced by them, but to compliment the video game, which is the lowest canon tier there is. These segments were shown in the video game, and therefore are considered part of the video game. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:43, February 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * After more reading, I agree and still maintain my opinion to regard this as game only content, unless an actual manga or anime scene corroborates them. These new additions appear to be simply a mechanic to allow the game to establish battles/stories that aren't so focused upon either Naruto or Sasuke, as well as to appease and satisfy the fans — something which is quoted throughout the articles I've read. I'll have no problem if these scenes are eventually proven to be canon, but I don't think there is any great loss in postponing their inclusion for now. Blackstar1 (talk) 01:02, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

It remains that it is part of the canon of the anime series since they were created by them, and that they don't contradict the manga and anime in the new scenes.

Also, the new content will be considered canon from Studio Pierrot and Hiroshi Matsuyama (CEO of CyberConnect2), whose Kishimoto has a lot of respect for CyberConnect2 and everything around (message from Masashi Kishimoto poster with the collector edition of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2), source here ->. 82.234.21.94 (talk) 01:17, February 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Bull. If it doesn't come from Kishimoto, it's not canon, and that name is nowhere in that article. All that article talks about is a collaboration between the video game makers and the studio which makes the anime. Nothing about Kishimoto whatsoever. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:35, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

Naruto's Leaf, Sasuke's Leaf
Like in the previous game (Storm 2), both Naruto and Sasuke are symbolized by two drifting leaves, one whole and the other with a small cut respectively. In Naruto's story, the leaf floats into the bright sky, in Sasuke's story, the leaf sinks into the water where it eventually disintegrates.

Besides, during storm 2, Sasuke's leaf dropped into the water and then it sank. In generarations we actually see the leaf go deeper into the dark waters before it is destroyed. I have to wonder about the symbolism or maybe a clue about the future.--Kai Maciel (talk) 10:41, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Story
The Story is covered through the point of view of 8-9 characters: Naruto Uzumaki, Young Naruto, Zabuza and Haku, Itachi, Kakashi, Tobi, Minato, and I'm not sure who the last one is as my source PS360HD2 hasn't unlocked it yet, Here's the link for the Madara vs Hashirama story scene, with the list of characters shown at the very beginning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRW2XiCbWQA&feature=channel LeeHatake93 (talk) 19:45, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

There is actually 10. And you are wrong, the characters are Naruto Uzumaki (part 1 and 2 ) , Sasuke Uchiha , Killer Bee , Gaara , Jiraiya , Kakashi , Zabuza and Haku , Tobi/Madara , Minato , and Itachi. If you think im wrong go find it at Saiyan Island. (24.175.180.156 (talk) 02:27, February 26, 2012 (UTC))Flap0'Mom69
