Naruto Shippuden: Narutimate Accel 2 [PS2]

[Luminion Lancer]

-Well boys and girls it has been confirmed: Narutimate Accel 2 is set to be released as of December 20th, 2007. After the somewhat unimpressive start that was the original Narutimate Accel it seems like CC2 has redeemed themselves with the sequel. First of all let me inform that the game features an exceedingly large line-up of characters to choose from, in fact they have at least 60 of them. Well you certainly can`t say the game developers were slacking in that department. New characters include TS Sasuke, Sai, Yamato, TF Sasori and the like. Like the 1st Accel you can use characters from the 3rd instalment.

A new feature of this instalment is the Buddy system which allows 1 character to summon another by pressing R1 at which point they will wail on your opponent with all their might. The summoned character will die in 1 hit but don`t fret since they serve another purpose: Dual Ougi, where your character and the summoned one join together to put the hurt on their enemy.

The RPG mode is back as are the other staple modes of the series. The graphics are as good as they were if not better and it seems like this is the best game of the series yet. I will now leave you with the following to view at your own leisure.

-You're joking right? Since when has Orochimaru not looked gay to the eyes of impressionable kiddies ? But I suppose he needed a new look since he has received a brand new moveset from his Narutimate Hero 3 days. Not just him but Kabuto as well and most likely Kakashi.

-Also of note: it appears as though Naruto's transformations occur both manually and automatically, as far my translator of Japanese kanji can tell. It seems like there's a sort of hidden timer for Naruto and his condition gradually goes from good to bad, indicating his transformations. The process speeds up if an Ougi is used during that form. However this may be wrong as my translator often makes mistakes and a definite answer would be nice.

Anyways

Best parts of that video in order of awesomeness:

5.) Confirmed 62 Characters!
4.) Chiyo's 10 Ultimate Puppets
3.) Giant Chouji running across the screen
2.) 4TK Naruto
1.) Combination Sasuke - Chidori/Naruto - Rasengan attack

OMG Finally 4 tails, it seems as if they've got naruto's fighting style down to a tee Cant wait to see more ougi's single and double

btw how many partnerships can you have!
ive definately seen Naruto/Garra Naruto/Sakura Naruto/Sasuke and it would be a crime if there isnt a Naruto/Jiraya OMG 4Tails/Jiraya and ive just seen an Itachi/Kakashi

And that combo between Oro/Sasuke easily one of the greatest Cinematic piece's created that should of happened in the real thing!

-Well assuming all 62 characters are capable of performing Dual Ougi (or at least the normal jutsu combo) with one another then the number of these animations goes well into the thousands (simple math really: 62+61+60...). Well putting the number aside the characters that have a history together like Gaara and his siblings or Asuma and Kurenai should have a Dual Ougi animation.

Well, assuming that it works in a statistical method, it would be 62!/2 Dual Ougi animations. After all Kurenai + Asuma = Asuma + Kurenai. Now, if it doesn't work that way, then that's even cooler!

[Luminion Lancer]

-OK, since the game is coming out soon which match-ups are you most excited about? For me it's actually 4TK Naruto VS. Sasuke (I want to see just how broken they are), Chiyo VS. Yamato, Sai VS. Deidara and Orochimaru VS. Kabuto.

Is this the last in the series before it moves to PS3? If it looks this good, I can't wait to see what it will look like on a next generation system.

Spoiler:

If the game follows the manga to the Sai/Sasuke Arc, then they aren't officially a couple yet. They are still in the Shikamaru/Temari are they or aren't they stage. That's sort of a big surprise for later. Although it would be awesome to see them have a Dual Ougi, they'll probably stick Asuma with someone like Ino.

-I don't know if it is or isn't but I can tell you this: there's already a Naruto game planned for the PlayStation 3, currently dubbed the PS3 Project. As far as this game's graphics go they are solid. They seemed to have improved the actual battlegrounds/stages in order to better present the combatants. Then again it might be just my imagination and glee from looking at the game firsthand.

Spoiler:

-Well since they are in that arc then Kurenai and Asuma should have that Dual Ougi since they are pre-Time Skip characters ported from the Narutimate Hero 3 game and they confronted Itachi and Kisame together no ?

Damn. He cant even do rasengan in the video game. They could even giv him that much while they still make Sasuke the badass. Oh well.

-He can do Rasengan in the game as it is his standard Charge Ougi (the input being Down+Down+O then either release or hold for more damage) much like Sasuke's Chidori or Kakashi's Raikiri. Sadly these Charge Ougi are somewhat unconventional and seldom used. The only good one is Yondaime Hokage's Rasengan which will teleport him behind the enemy at max charge. Me, I am just happy 4TK Naruto is useable and that's the only reason I need to like the game. As for Sasuke, he has a sword, that is it.

I heard that Yondaime never speaks in any of the games. Is that true

oh and BTW, sorry about my previous post. I wrote in a bit of a ruch. I meant to say that Naruto still cant even use one hand in the video game.

-Nope he never speaks since they haven't given him a voice actor in the anime yet. Still for a mute figment of someone else's imagination he kicks some major ass .

-As for Naruto doing the Rasengan with 2 hands I would like to believe that it's just for show really since we have never really seen him do it otherwise (though it has been hinted that he can).

[BlackShinobi07]

All the other characters have the same voice actors as in the anime?

[Luminion Lancer]

-Yes they do which is why Yondaime Hokage (whom with all due respect I should be calling Namikaze Minato) is always silent since he doesn't have one.

[BlackShinobi07]

Oh okay. I always thought it was because him speaking would reeval something very big about his character.

[naruto89]

^that was speculation, he doesnt have a VA since he hasnt spoke in the anime yet, due to the fact that they decided to leave out the kakashi gaiden for now.

[Luminion Lancer]

-Finaly we get to see some fights. I'll post them here.
