Meet the family

Proving that there’s still room for one more heavy-hitter in the crowded month of March, publisher Namco Bandai has announced that the wordy Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 will pick a fight with the PlayStation 3 on 5th March in North America and 8th March in Europe. We’re not convinced that the CyberConnect 2 brawler will stand much of a chance against God of War: Ascension and Tomb Raider, but that’s for the suits to ponder.

The full game will feature over 80 playable characters and a campaign that repurposes classic moments from the Naruto Shippuden anime series. First edition copies of the game will include a voucher for a Goku costume (y’know, the orange dude from Dragon Ball Z) and a collectible trading card. There’s a dramatic trailer for the title embedded below.
