Naruto Shippūden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3

Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution III will be the first Shippuden game released for the Wii in the US. It is the fifth installment of the Clash of Ninja series. It was announced alongside Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2, and is set to release in Fall 2009. It is said to have "over 35 characters," which, if taken literally, would make this the largest roster in the series. It will feature the Rescue Gaara arc in the story mode, as with the first Shippuden 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 jutsus 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.
