Trivia

 * The game play in this game is similar to Jump Super Stars, a Japan-exclusive game that featured many characters from the popular magazine Weekly Shonen Jump. A few Naruto characters were included in it.
 * The spirit of Asuma Sarutobi appears whenever Shikamaru attacks with his trench knives, implying that Asuma is his motivation for fighting.
 * Kisame Hoshigaki and Obito Uchiha appear in the Story Mode, but they are not playable nor can you fight them.
 * Ironically, despite Fukasaku and Shima being playable characters, they still appear when Jiraiya goes into Sage Mode, although they appear much smaller than their playable appearances.
 * Naruto Shippūden: Dragon Blade Chronicles is able to connect wirelessly to this game to unlock two Dragon Blade related attacks for Naruto.
 * There are no voiceclips in versions released outside of Japan.
