Naruto Storm 3 Commercial Hits the Small Screen

Namco Bandai has released the first TV commercial for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, better known as Naruto Storm 3. The commercial's only 15 seconds long, but it shows off Kurama Mode Naruto, the 4 Edo Kages, Jinchuriki, Nagato, Tobi, Kabuto, and a number of other characters from the series, all of whom will be in the game proper.

Naruto Storm 3 is developed by Cyberconnect2's and it's the studio's fourth entry into the Naruto series of fighting games. It's set against the backdrop of the anime and the events that occur in it are concurrent with the latest episode of the TV series.

Naruto Storm 3 has been confirmed for release on both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 on March 5 in North America, March 8 in Europe and Australia, and a month later on April 18 in Japan. It's one of the few Japanese titles that's actually released much earlier in the US and Europe than it is in Japan, but that's only because the Japanese fans of the series have to wait a month longer for the anime to resume over there.
