Naruto Shippūden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3

Naruto Shippūden: Clash of Ninja Revolution III will be the first Shippūden game released for the Wii in the US. It is the fifth installment of the Clash of Ninja series. It was announced alongside Naruto Shippūden: Ninja Destiny 2, and is set to release on November 17, 2009. The game has 40 characters, making it the largest roster in the series. It covers the Rescue Gaara arc in the story mode, as with the first Shippūden game in the Gekitou Ninja Taisen series in Japan, and will be the first game in the series to have Wi-fi connectivity. It will also feature what is described as an "overhauled combat system." The developers have stated that they wish to tweak characters in such a way that they will be more balanced. The characters' movesets are not exactly the same as in the Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX series. For example, Kakashi has apparently been made much more powerful, now sporting several jutsu copied from other characters that he can use at any time.

The game will feature a total of 40 different stages to play on. There is also a new feature referred to as "latent ninja powers," likely the equivalent of the new Senzai Ninriki feature from Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3. Each character also has a custom throwing animation. During the Two-Man Squad mode, it is now possible to set two players to two characters on one squad, rather than one player controlling both characters of a pair. Aside from this, the Two-Man Squad mode also allows a player to call up the character they're not playing as to aid them for a short time. Many other features that were in Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, such as Kumite Mode and Mission Mode make a return. The shop feature in Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 and ''Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 3'' also makes a return, and, instead of being run by Anko, is now owned by Bando.
