TOMY
and D3 Publisher of America are working on a Naruto game for Wii, and
they officially announced it today. The game is called Naruto: Clash
of Ninja MVZ, and that's a working title so it may change, and is
based on episodes from the TV show. Some new additions over the
previous Clash of Ninja games will be characters that have not been
featured in the franchise and the use of the Wii Remote for the fast
paced gameplay. Eighting is currently developing the game to let
players use the Wii Remote as best as possible during gameplay,
allowing players to execute their attacks with ninja-like motions.
The game will also feature special mini-games designed to work
specifically for the Wii Remote. No release date has been announced
