Namco Bandai Games America today released several screenshots from Naruto: Narutimate Ninja, a ninja fighting action game based on the hit television series running on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. Incorporating a new cell-shading technique, NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja places players in the vivid and vibrant world of Naruto Uzumaki, a student of Ninja Academy. Players can choose from more
than 12 characters including Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura and master their chakra to perform deadly ninjutsu in the heat of battle. With 12 dynamic stages taken from the manga and anime series, gamers can switch stages mid-combat to outmaneuver the opposing ninja. When danger is near, gamers can unleash combos, projectiles and super attacks to ascend the ranks and become Hokage - the greatest ninja of all. Naruto: Narutimate Ninja is scheduled to hit retail stores this summer.
