'Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4' release date, gameplay & trailer: latest screencaps show Naruto's new Ultimate Jutsu move
Hold on to your wallets and sanity Naruto fans as we reveal new details for the upcoming Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 game.
The newest video game installment for the popular manga franchise released a new trailer during the recently concluded New York Comic Con. Bandai Namco Entertainment America teased fans with the official trailer for the game while Saiyan Island released several screenshots of the game.
Both the official trailer and the screenshots reveal Naruto's ultimate jutsu. Saiyan Island believes that the new jutsu on the game appears to be a combination of the Tailored Beast Bomb and the Rasenshuriken, produced with the help of Kurama's powers.
There are also several screenshots of the big boss battle with Ten Tails. During the match, Saiyan Island says that Ten Tails will release Tailed Beast Bombs.
Once it takes in enough damage, the boss will begin to chase the player's character. The player needs to avoid or outrun Ten Tails to survive.
If that is not enough to whet the appetite, Anime Games Online has created a 20 minute slideshow consisting of more than 250 screenshots and cuts from the game. It features shots of the Three Headed Kurama Rasenshuriken, the Ten Tails Boss Battle and more.
The same broadcaster has earlier uploaded videos revealing the Perfect Form Susanoo for characters such as Itachi, Shisui and Kakashi. There are also videos of the 8 Gates Guy and other characters on the broadcaster's YouTube channel.
According to a report by Forbes, the Susanoo forms are unique to the game and made by Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of the Naruto manga. An earlier article by Geek Snack states that these forms never appeared in the manga version.
The Forbes report indicates that the Susanoo are the hardest forms to achieve for characters. With a few exceptions, only those who have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan on both eyes can attempt to achieve the forms.
There are no confirmed reports on which characters are included in the upcoming Naruto game. However, Geek Snack believes there is a good chance that the Sound 4 will be included in the character line up.
As stated by Forbes, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is set for release in Japan on Feb. 4 while fans in the West can expect the game on store shelves on the 9th of the same month. The game is currently being developed for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
