NAMCO BANDAI
GAMES’ NARUTO: UZUMAKI CHRONICLES
COMING TO EUROPE
- Action Adventure Title Based on the Global Hit Anime
Scheduled for
May 2007 Launch on PlayStation 2 -
Atari today announced the forthcoming European release
of NAMCO BANDAI Games’ Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles
for PlayStation®2. Based on the hit animated TV series,
Naruto, this action adventure lets players take the role
of Naruto himself, the aspiring ninja with the power of
the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit sleeping deep within. Set in
a vividly rendered 3D environment, gamers can play through
the story-driven missions to save the Hidden Leaf Village
from the threat of evil and fulfill Naruto's dream of
becoming the Hokage (leader).
Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles introduces a lush 3D world
that will test the player’s Ninjutsu skills as Naruto,
the feisty orphan who wants to become the most respected
and admired ninja of all time. A brand new story drives
the missions as players experience the trials and tribulations
of a ninja-in-training – fierce competition from
fellow students and constant challenges from their teachers.
Players can and face-off against multiple enemies using
either close combat moves or long-range weapons like shurikens
and explosive cards, while familiar characters like Kakashi,
Sasuke and Neji can swoop in for assistance. Naruto: Uzumaki
Chronicles offers plenty to satisfy any aspiring ninja
with mini-games, collectable status-boosting chips and
plates to customize all aspects of Naruto's abilities,
and lethal attacks taken straight from the popular anime
series.
First introduced into the Japan’s weekly Shonen
Jump magazine in 1999, Naruto – created by the revered
Masashi Kishimoto – quickly became Japan's most
popular ninja manga. In 2000, Naruto was expanded into
a series of graphic novels with more than 65 million copies
sold in Japan.
Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles for PlayStation 2 is published
by NAMCO BANDAI Games, distributed in Europe by Atari,
and scheduled for European release in May 2007.
