Naruto: Ninja Destiny Looking Fine

You hardly ever see Nintendo DS trailers at the correct resolution, do you? Developer Tomy worked hard to make the U.S. release of Japan's Naruto: Shinobi Retsuden smoother, prettier, and an overall better experience, and they want to make sure that comes through in the video. From what I've seen of the retooled Naruto: Ninja Destiny they've done a fine job. Unfortunate that they choose my two least favorite characters to show it off, but I suppose Rock Lee and Spooky Sand Guy are better than nothing. Yeah, I know he has a name. Sandy or something. I'm slowly warming to Naruto - don't push me.

Tomy Brings Improved Ninja Destiny In February

Quite surprising for an anime license, the Naruto series has spawned some really excellent games both in the U.S. and Japan, though the Japanese release of Naruto: Ninja Destiny as Naruto: Shinobi Retsuden was pretty mediocre, with a crawling frame rate, poor graphics, and an extremely limited cast of characters. Rather than release the same crap stateside secure in the knowledge that Leaf Village headband wearing fans everywhere would buy it anyway, developer Tomy went and fixed it first.
"We've listened to the fans and made a slew of improvements to the Japanese original, including a much faster frame rate, additional characters, and never-before-seen content," said Laura Yoshioka, director, consumer software of TOMY Corporation.
The 3D fighter now boasts an impressive 16 different characters, with storylines up to the 140th episode of the anime, which I am about 80 episodes away from seeing currently. The new and improved Naruto: Ninja Destiny will be in stores next month. Much love to Tomy for going above and beyond for the U.S. release! More »

D3 and Tomy's Shhhhedule

D3 and Tomy just sent over their plans for next week's Comic Con. The companies will have a lot to look at including Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire, Naruto: Path of the Ninja and Ed, Edd 'n Eddy.

Other games on site will include Dark Sector, Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution, Ben 10: Protector of Earth and Dead Head Fred. They will also have some artists and writers on hand, though I'm not sure if that's for the Comic Con or just their party.

Coolest part? They're going to be transporting press from the Comic Con to their party via "Naruto pedi-cabs."
