Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4

Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 is the fourth installment of the "Gekitou Ninja Taisen" series released for the Gamecube. It was released in Japan on November 21, 2005 and was never released in North America or Europe. It covers the events from the Return of Itachi arc to the Sasuke Retrieval arc. The game adds a tag-team mode, referred to as 3-man cell, which allows groups of characters to fight each other in turn, with certain combinations of team members enabling special attacks. The game also includes the ability for multiple characters to fight one another at once, ranging from a 2-on-2 match to a 4-way brawl. Most noticeably, the game does away with the shop feature, and unlockables are now acquired by simply meeting certain criteria in the game's new Mission mode. Mission mode forces the player to fight increasingly stronger opponents under specific circumstances and with different methods of winning in order to complete each mission. It is the last Naruto game for the Gamecube. With 39 characters, this game used to have the biggest roster in the Gekitou Ninja Taisen/Clash of Ninja Series, until the release in Japan of Naruto Shippūden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3 which has 39 characters too.
