As its a bit of a slow news day/s at the moment, I thought I’d take the chance to tell you all about the new Naruto game which has popped up in the last few days. I’ve wrote about Naruto games before (which should be available in European stores now according to Nintendo). This new game seems to take place over the time-line shift which happened in the manga about 1-2 years ago. Because the anime of Naruto is following the story of the manga, the two mediums became too close together as, i assume, it takes longer to create and pad out a story using manga than anime. So what happened was, the creators of the anime have passed the time by creating their own extra stories which wern’t featured in the manga, and now they have decided that it is time to get back on track with the official story written by the creator Masashi Kishimoto.

This new game is set in the ‘Second Part’ of the Naruto series where the characters are mentally more mature and have new costumes as well as new skills etc. Its a continuation of the ‘Narutimette Hero’ series on PS2, its called ‘Narutimate Accel’ and would be the fifth part in the set so far. The game looks pretty fun but still seems a bit original to the original games that this is following on from, although this is purely based on this one ambiguous scan. The title is (again) made by CyberConnect2 and will be available on the Playstation2 sometime in 2007.
