Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 is bound to make a splash the PSP, so announced Namco Bandai earlier today. This new installment in the Naruto franchise gets major enhancements such as four-player battles, an all-new adventure mode, and a brand new line-up of characters with awesome powers.

 

Namco Bandai, through Director of Marketing and PR Todd Thorson, has this to say:

 

“The Ultimate Ninja series continues to be one of the most popular Naruto video game franchises for fans of the anime and manga around the world. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 continues to innovate and refine the series’ trademark fighting mechanics, introducing new characters, and ensuring gamers at any skill level can fight like a true ninja.”

 

When they said there’d be a brand new line-up of characters, they definitely weren’t kidding. It is reported that you can choose any one character from among 40 choices, which include Young Kakashi and Obito Uchiha, both from the Naruto Shippuden special, Kakashi Chronicles.

 

The press release gives more gameplay details:

 

“Additionally, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 features Master Road, where players can re-live the Naruto Shippuden storyline up to the Hidan Kakuzu arc and contrinue through two all-new adventures. This mode also features a three-player cooperative mode which lets players experience the full adventure through an ad-hoc connection. During his quests, Naruto will also engage in Battle or Action stages. Each stage will contain a specific objective for Naruto to complete including intense fights, escaping from danger, and much more.”
