<BLOCKQUOTE>NDS Naruto RPG 2

Being the second RPG spin-off game (we also saw fighting titles and card simulations in the past), Naruto RPG 2 is bringing the adventure from the GBA to the Nintendo DS, courtesy of Tomy. Earlier on, Bandai made the first move, transferring the Naruto: Saiyou Ninja Daikesshuu series from the Game Boy Advance to the DS for part 3. Storywise now, Naruto RPG 2 will apparently follow the events leading from the aftermath of the Naruto/Gaara fight up through Naruto's fight with Sasuke. Tomy has announced that players will use the touchscreen particularly during combat.

Wielding your stylus, you will have the opportunity to manage your team by modifying the position of the characters when focusing on the battles. According to the developer, Naruto RPG 2 should also feature an online mode via Wi-fi, allowing exchanges and confrontations between friends. Naruto RPG 2 definitely goes beyond a "mere" Beat'em Up title, with enough story depth to fully devote yourself to the Naruto universe, mobile style! Shipping on July 14th for only US$ 49.90, this great import is of course eligible for our Free Shipping Worldwide promotion.


NDS Jump Superstars

Also known as Shonen Jump Superstars, this collaboration between Japanese Jump magazine and Nintendo brings characters from Naruto, Dragon Ball, One Piece and other Jump manga properties to the Nintendo DS in a one-on-one Beat'em Up. Before battle, each player is given a unique Manga Deck where individual cards have different effects in combat. By tapping sections of the deck with your finger on the touchscreen, you can evoke the power of "Battle Cards" to switch between characters as you fight, or "Support Cards" which call upon a support hero. Finally, there's the "Help Card" which adds speed to your character and can be used two times in battle. Please check out some footage (alas, not of the best quality) of this intriguing crossover game:

Gameplay of Jump Superstars is reminiscent of Smash Brothers, featuring weak/strong attacks plus a one-button special move (in combination with the D-pad releasing a second one). Visually, it's 2D characters and backdrops; the battle stages are designed to appear as one comic frame, where the left and right sides can be destroyed to get rid of an opponent temporarily. Dish out even more damage this way! With super-fast gameplay and the massive, intelligent use of the DS touchscreen, Jump Superstars is bound to become a sure winner in the multi-player department this summer! Also Free Shipping Worldwide, preorders are very welcome for this great title as well, which will be available on August 8th for just US$ 49.90 only.</BLOCKQUOTE>
