New scans of Narutimate Storm have been released. It confirms Akatsuki Sasuke, Sasori, Chiyo, Sakura, and Kakashi. I would have edited the page to say so, but it's locked. Why can't I add this information? Oh, and for the scan it's here

Naruto Shippuden:_Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 European box art
The European box art has been reseased. There are many links on google and videos on youtube. Just search ;)


 * It is only referred to as "possible" and "rumored". That's not good enough. ~SnapperTo 16:16, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

US Release Date
Why isn't the release date for the US added? Just so you know, it is August 17th.


 * Says...? ~SnapperTo 23:20, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Snapper the English Logo is official check it out http://www.namcobandaigames.eu/news/2010-02-04/naruto-shippuden-ultimate-ninja-storm-2-to-unleash-its-ninja-hurricane/352. And if the logo is official, why won't the box art be so? As for release date, it is FALL 2010! The "August 17" release date isn't confirmed as of yet.

Snapper please upload this image for the box art http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/File:NARUTO_STORM2_PS3_FRONT.jpg. It is very detailed.


 * It's exactly the same as what's currently being used, albeit it's dimmer. Which is the more accurate representation? ~SnapperTo 17:25, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

NEW GAMEPLAY SCANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here : http://www.saiyanisland.com/2010/05/new-ultimate-ninja-storm-2-scans/

Very good scans. Destructive environments in the first scan, you can use lightning on water to shock the opponent. In the second scan it shows boss battles, as we can notice Gamaken fighting Pain's Dog Summoning. And in the third, they show us that the free roaming is much more expanded, as you can now roam outside the Leaf Village (ex. Hidden Sand Village)

If you want more information, just click on the link I posted ;)    UchihaClanLeader(talk) May 11 2010

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 Official Front Covers For Europe
Also, here is the link for the official box art for Europe. PS3 cover: http://www.namcobandaigames.eu/product/playstation-3/naruto-storm-2/4002 XBOX 360 cover: http://www.namcobandaigames.eu/product/xbox-360/naruto-storm-2/4003 -- UchihaClanLeader(talk) May 11 2010

EDIT: This is the Front Cover. Took it from Amazon : http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/File:Naruto_Storm_2_Cover.jpg


 * The current image is of better quality. And please just link to where you got the image. I can upload the image myself. ~SnapperTo 19:45, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but they are kinda different. The current one hasn't the "playstation network" thing, so I'm worried. Maybe the current one is the wrong one. That's what I'm thinking. And that's why I posted the one from Amazon


 * I assume it's because that one is the US cover, whereas the current image is the EU cover. ~SnapperTo 19:52, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Snapper, if it's quality you are looking for. How about this one? It's the same as the one from Amazon, but it has high quality. And yeah, this is the box art from North America, but the European one should have the "Playstation Network" thing as well.


 * If it weren't for the sayianisland watermark, you'd have a winner. ~SnapperTo 20:11, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, that I can remove.

Here, you can upload this : http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/File:Storm_2_US_Box_Art_PS3.jpg


 * I had meant without cropping it, but whatever. ~SnapperTo 20:26, May 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * C'mon, I cropped it only a little. I haven't erase any detail from the image.


 * Which is why I said "but whatever". ~SnapperTo 20:51, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, Snapper, add at "Gameplay" section the "Drive Gauge". The CEO from CyberConnect 2 says about it in the first interview. ;) ~ UchihaClanLeader(talk) June 04 2010

from the newest trailer
i saw hidan and kakuzu along with kakuzu hearts. I also saw that the second animal path was used a support in the video and summoned the snake tailed chameleon.

Suigetsu, Karin and Jugo
They will be in the game. Andrew Davis confirms them in one of the interviews. On every site it says that they are playable. Add them to the list. ~ UchihaClanLeader(talk) June 08 2010

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 article change
You should add more details to the article. It should sound like this:

Gameplay

The gameplay retains many of the elements from the previous game. The game will feature 18 interactive and destrucible stages and more than 40 playable characters. Support characters will be returning. There is a new feature, named “Drive Gage”, in the game. Depending on the Drive Gage, players will be able to unleash devastating team jutsus with the support characters. Free roaming also makes a return. The game will feature a 1:1 recreation of the Hidden Leaf Village. In addition to the Leaf Village, players will be able to roam outside the village, raging from forests to deserts, and also the Hidden Sand Village. Boss battles will be returning, but with more dramatic and fast pace action. Boss battles include Naruto and Sakura vs Kakashi, Sakura and Chiyo vs Sasori and Jiraiya vs Pain. New to the Ultimate Ninja series is also the aerial battles, where players will be able to fight in the air, such as Gaara vs. Deidara.

Story

According to the CyberConnect 2 CEO, Hiroshi Matsuyama, the story will begin from the very first Naruto Shippuden episode to episodes that will be broadcasting this summer in Japan. There will be an RPG story mode from the point of view of one of the three main characters.

Playable Characters

(Write the characters list)

(Forgot about the online features. Those are already shown in the current article)     ~ UchihaClanLeader(talk) June 08 2010


 * I've dropped the protection down a level. You should be able to edit the article yourself now. ~SnapperTo 21:26, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

All right! Changed it. If it's anything wrong, just edit it. ~ UchihaClanLeader(talk) June 09 2010

Lars Alexandersson in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 FTW??
Yeah. Pretty lame if you ask me. Lars Alexandersson from Tekken 6 is a playable character in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. Tekken 6 is a game published by Bandai Namco, just like Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. This Lars character was designed for Tekken 6 by Masashi Kishimoto, so maybe that's the reason he's in the game. A recent scan confirms him. BUT, there are also good news. Sai is a playable character in the game.

Goes from begining of Shippuden to Pein's Invasion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDGoSvLytek&feature=relatedSaimaroimaru (talk) 12:31, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but Hiroshi Matsuyama, the CEO and President of CyberConnect2, said in his interview that the game will cover all the Shippuden and that it goes to episodes that will be broadcasting at the end of the summer, so that means Kage Summit arc. Maybe Europe and NA will only have the story up until Naruto vs. Pain, whereas Japan will have the story that covers all the Shippuden. That would be troublesome..But I doubt. ~ UchihaClanLeader(talk) June 10 2010

Killer Bee should be taken off the list
Killer Bee has not been confirmed and should be taken off the list--PAIN (talk) 22:45, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

It should be put on the Unconfirmed Characters List - Otacon1514

Unconfirmed Characters
I added a list for characters that are most likely going to be on the character roster but are not confirmed. Please do not remove this. If you do please tell me when and why on my talk page. Thank you --Otacon1514 (talk) 01:19, June 21, 2010 (UTC)Otacon1514
 * The "Unconfirmed characters" section shouldn't be added. Because all the other characters are unconfirmed. I could say that the final boss battle from the game is Sasuke vs. Danzo. That means that Danzo MAY be in the game, but is not confirmed. So then all the kages should be added in the unconfirmed section. Oh, let's not forget the Sage of The Six Paths, maybe Kushina will be playable too. So, we won't add some 50% confirmed characters on the confirmes list. Some guy on Youtube said that Bee is confirmed, but that doesn't mean he is confirmed. There isn't any proof. So, I removed Killer Bee and the Unconfirmed Characters list.   ~ UchihaClanLeader(talk) June 21 2010

Multiple Jutsu
I recently watch a video showing the complete battle between Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi. I noticed one thing. Naruto used multiple jutsu. First Rasengan, and then Odama Rasengan. How could this come into play in the finished game? My theory is that the longer you hold the action button, O or B the better the jutsu.--Otacon1514 (talk) 01:59, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

The thing is thhat when you charge the jutsu at full power it will be Oodama Rasengan and if you don't charge it complete it will be the normal Rasengan

Character Chances
What are the chances that sub-characters like Minato(Yondaime Hokage) or Young Kakashi from Kakashi Gaiden will appear in the character roster. Even if they do not appear, how could they, and what would their attacks be? --Otacon1514 (talk) 05:39, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Possible demo release date
I just saw on the storm 2 article from es.wikipedia.org that the demo release date is July 6th. But again it's just wikipedia, so this information isn't 100% confirmed. ~UchihaClanLeader(talk) June 29 2010

"Destructible Stages"
I would like for this sentence to be changed. "The game will feature 18 interactive and destructible stages and more than 40 playable characters." I think that we should wait to confirm this until we know all are destructible and it isn't just a scripted moment in the Naruto & Sakura v.s. Kakashi battle.--Otacon1514 (talk) 04:32, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * And it isn't confirmed that they are interactive too. But they confirmed in an interview that they are destructable. Maybe the stage changes after an Ultimate Jutsu, who knows. But they confirmed that all the stages are destructable.     ~UchihaClanLeader(talk) June 30 2010

Makes sense--Otacon1514 (talk) 09:26, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

4-players online mode confirmed!
I just found on a site a new preview on the game. Looks like some spanish guys took an interview to Hiroshi Matsuyama at the Japan Expo and Mr. Matsuyama said that the final title will have better graphics than the demo. He also said that, in the story mode, you can also play as Pain. And he confirmed a new online mode: 4 players! ~ UchihaClanLeader(talk) July 3rd 2010

NICE!!

I was hoping for some 4 player action. Hopefully that will be translated over to Fight Mode as well. Could you paste the link to the site.--Otacon1514 (talk) 00:49, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

New gameplay footage and details!
A new exclusive gameplay footage video has surfaced on the internet. In the video we see a boss battle between naruto and sasuke. Sasuke's supports are Suigetsu and karin. It has been that there are 2 types of supports: offensive and defensive. Suigetsu is offensive, while karin is deffensive. When karin's drive gage was filler, she automatically helped sasuke. In the video, naruto turns 4 tails. 4 tails naruto launches a blast at sasuke and blows his white shirt off. So, gameplay elements confirmed and shown this video: 1. There are 2 types of supports: offensive and defensive 2. When the drive gage is filled, the defensive support automatically protects you from damage. 3. There is costume damage. Link: youtube.com/watch?desktop_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DI0gSJnxq-HQ&v=I0gSJnxq-HQ&gl=US ~UchihaClanLeader(talk) July 5th 2010

Costume damage is a no go. Sasuke shirt was already off when Naruto blasted him. His shirt probably came off when/if he went Level 2 Curse Mark earlier in the match. --Yorudan15 (talk) 08:05, July 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh....yeah, you're right. Maybe, like you said, his shirt was off after the CS2. And my bad that isn't a boss battle. It's a normal battle. Also, we haven't seen the Storm Gauge in any of the gameplay videos/scans, besides this. If you look more carefully, the Storm Gauge is present. Good to know.


 * Also, I have seen in a preview that Namco Bandai will launch a Limited Edition of the game.


 * And one more thing. I heard in a preview, though it's just a rumor, I hope, that the button imputs from the ultimate jutsu are off in this game. You know, the button mash, command and spin. But, in the same interview, they also said that in normal battles (I mean in free battle mode), after some special battles, like Sasuke vs. Itachi, there are some cutscenes. But again I son't believe in this.
 * Not sure where I saw this preview, but I'll search and post a link to it here. ~UchihaClanLeader(talk) July 6th 2010
