Takara Tomy and Eighting have released new gameplay videos of Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen Special!, which will be sure to satisfy fans of the series. The gameplay videos feature new characters in action that have never been in a Gekitou Ninja Taisen game before.
The first video features a match between Minato Namikaze, who was known throughout the ninja world as the Fourth Hokage, versus his son, Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto is in “Sage Mode,” which provides him faster and stronger combos, while his father, whose nickname is “Konoha’s Yellow Flash” is living up to his name with his incredibly fast and possibly unfair teleportation attacks.
Minato’s alternative special features him jumping up in the air and throwing several kunai at Naruto, which allows him to teleport to each one of the kunai and slash Naruto to pieces. His regular special, which looks to be a take on his famous, “Flying Thunder God” technique does an insane amount of damage, so gamers looking to pick this game up should be wary not to get caught in his special.
Naruto’s Wind Element: Rasen Shuriken attack is combined with Shadow Clones to trap his opponent in the S-Ranked move. Sage Mode Naruto can certainly hold his own in battle, but it’s best to decide for yourself after watching the video.
Check out the Father vs. Son battle beween Minato Namikaze (Fourth Hokage) and Uzumaki Naruto (Sage Mode) below:
Gamers that bought Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles or even Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 may want to consider picking this game up as well.
