Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations Coming in 2012

The title might be ridiculously long, but they plan to make the list of characters just as insanely lengthy; so at least they're being consistent.

 
Yep, it’s time once again to bust out those hidden leaf head bands and your shuriken, Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is coming sometime in 2012. This time Namco Bandai looks to push the limit of just how many Naruto characters they can cram into one massive fighter. They appear to be bringing characters not only from the Shippuden series of Naruto, but also a set of characters from the older Naruto series. That means that fans of Naruto will finally be able to get in on all the grudge matches they’ve always wanted.

So far not a whole lot of characters have been officially announced. That being said, Namco Bandai did want to let fans know that Sasuke, Naruto, Haku and Zabuza will be playable in this latest version of the game. (And in the video below you can see a few more familiar faces.) Cyber Connect 2 and Namco Bandai are aiming to make this the ultimate Naruto experience. Keep an eye on MTB as we bring you more information when it trickles out. If you still need a little more to tide you over, don’t forget to check out the trailer below and sound off in our comment section with your thoughts on it.
 

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.
