It’s as if the developer wanted to make this adaptation feel a little different from the anime, but why trade the quality of the source material when its inclusion would only serve to enhance the interactivity of the fights themselves? The result is a conveyance of narrative that’ll likely put off long-standing fans and potentially bore newcomers into simply skipping them until the next fight is unlocked.Īs a port, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road To Boruto runs really smoothly, with next to no instances of slowdown or noticeable framerate drops. The cutscenes in Story mode – one of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road To Boruto’s many modes – are probably its biggest letdown, mainly because the developers have relied on semi-static images played over audio from the anime. The arena battle formula has served Namco Bandai’s anime adaptations well countless times before – just take a look at Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 or the My Hero One’s Justice games for starters – with each battle consisting of free-roaming throwdowns between various characters from the Naruto universe, with lots of QTEs and a lot of cutscenes.

The Ultimate Ninja Storm series has been around for almost 17 years now and has grown from a humble fighting game with a small roster on PS2 to the gargantuan battler we see today. There are few anime series quite as successful and beloved as the journey of one Naruto Uzumaki, and developer CyberConnect2 has produced a videogame adaptation that’s so good some might even consider it better than its source material. Should you have exhausted the substantial offering of the 2018 port of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy on Switch, then you should expect something equally gripping. Like most ports of Japanese origin, the Nintendo Switch version of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto has taken its time to go handheld – the original launched back in 2016, and its anime film tie-in expansion a year later – but with three different story modes, and a frighteningly large number of playable characters, this full-fat version certainly helps ease the pain of its timekeeping skills with a sheer force of content. The most recent version of Project Shinobi, in fact, boasts a graphic design characterized by a style inspired by the typical look of Japanese anime, and although the rocks or the vegetation are still very simple, the result already appears more satisfactory than in the past.Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)

With the update of October 2021, in fact, the new team led by Osiris himself revealed that they have rebuilt the game from scratch, in order to guarantee a better quality experience for those interested. To be honest, the project of the good Osiris, which at the time could not yet count on a real team, had absolutely nothing interesting, but over the years Project Shinobi has evolved beyond our wildest forecasts, attracting on itself the attention of Naruto fans. In the video, which immortalized a very raw product, it was possible to observe a Naruto in Hermitic Mode of the Six Paths run through the woods and fight with some ninjas from the Sand Village in what its author described as an RPG with an open world structure.
