Naruto: Ninjutsu Zenkai! Saikyou Ninja Daikesshuu (ＮＡＲＵＴＯ－ナルト- 忍術全開! 最強忍者大結集lit. “Naruto: Full Throttle Ninjutsu! Great Council of the Strongest Ninja” ? ) in Japan) is the first installment in the Ninja Council series

Naruto has been somewhat of an anime and manga phenomenon in Japan for quite a while now, but the series has only recently started to gain popularity stateside since its debut on Cartoon Network. It only makes sense then that the video games based on the Naruto license make the jump across the Pacific as well. At a recent Nintendo press event, we had a chance to play Naruto: Ninja Council on the Game Boy Advance, and the game seems to do a fairly good job of capturing the spirit of the license

Introduction Some years ago, people watched Dragon Ball, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cutey Honey and so on… These days, young people still like to watch anime, but they are more into new series, Naruto  Konoha Senki being one of them. Of course a game would be released, but after the disappointement that the last game caused, would fans really want this game?

To team with the release of the Naruto: Clash of Ninja series on GameCube, publisher D3 has been simultaneously sending out handheld adventures to go with the franchise’s console counterpart. When the first Clash of Ninja game hit stores, Naruto: Ninja Council was released for GBA.

Naruto Saikyou Ninja Daikesshu 3 is an adventure game, developed especially for the Nintendo DS by Aspect, and published by Tomy across a wide variety of regions and countries. The title, as its name implies, is the fourth installment in the Saikyou Ninja Daikesshu series, as it is known in Japan, and the fourth in the Ninja Council franchise, as it is known in North America and Europe.

Since the Naruto series has made its way from Japan to the United States (and beyond), we’ve been seeing a mixed bag of titles along with it to satisfy gamers’ needs. On consoles, the Clash of Ninja series continues to excel, bringing iteration after iteration of a surprisingly impressive and deep cel-shaded fighter engine as version after version is localized for worldwide release. On the portable front, things aren’t quite as remarkable, as we’ve had two mediocre titles thus far on GBA with Naruto: Ninja Council , and Ninja Counci l 2

Many anime games are shoveled on to systems for quick cash, but for the most part the Naruto games haven’t been that bad. Maybe that’s why I thought Naruto: Shinobi Retsuden would be worth checking out.

LOS ANGELES – Mar. 11, 2009 – TOMY Corporation today announced that Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4 is currently in development exclusively for Nintendo DS

Naruto: Ninja Council 2 brings the action and fun of the hit Cartoon Network series back for more excitement! The students of Kakashi are being challenged to become the greatest ninjas in the village.

Do you have what it takes to master the martial arts and prove yourself a true Ninja?
