[edit] Features

The game features a unique battle system with special attacks and various jutsu that can be used. It also features several items, like kunai and shuriken. There are many multi-layered stages from around the Naruto universe, including the Hidden Sand Village, the Chunin exam arena, and the Forest of Death. In the original Japanese version, there were only 12 characters; however, NamcoBandai has added the ability to select both Cursed Seal level 1 Sasuke and Nine-tailed Naruto as bonus characters. Although both of these characters were already in the Japanese version as transformations, NamcoBandai has separated them into separate characters. Due to this, both Naruto and Sasuke have lost their ability to transform into their advanced modes during battle. This is much like the Naruto: Narutimate Hero 3 transformation system. The game also features an arcade style story mode. The Story Mode consists of up to 6 battles divided by some dialogue in a comic book style display, a homage to its source material.
