The previous installment wasn't that big of a change from GNT2 to 3, but this time I'd expect a pretty sizable update. I can already forsee the Sound Five being in the game, and boy they should be fun using. New moves for Shikamaru, Neji, Chouji, and Kiba. Can't wait to see how they implement Drunken Lee and the uber modes for Naruto and Sauske without totally overpowering them. Hopefully Kabuto and Kisame make it in the game this time around, even though we still haven't seen them at their full potential.
I hope the 3-man team mode gets revamped too. Allowing for switching out players mid fight. That little addition alone would add a whole new dynamic.

Not too sure on how well that would go over considering the events and characters in the game would be much, much further ahead of the anime when it makes its debut in September. Though I'll take anything to help fill in the gap between the last days of the GC and the Rev launch.

QuoteNot entirely false? How can this in particular be that? Shouldn't it be either true or false?

For some reason (having never watched the TV show) I have been considering whether to import Naruto 3. This desire is based mainly on Ty's (old) review that I just happened to read earlier this month.
1) Is it worth waiting for number 4?
2)Will it be a totally different game or will the changes be similar to those seen in Soul Caliber I -> SCII?
3)And finally is there still a ways to go before the new version is released? (I'm not familiar with the turnaround in this series but someone did mention 'annual' above)
At the moment it (#3) is still ~$65 US at Lik-Sang which is the proposed price for the 4th edition, I would have thought news of a sequel may have resulted in a price drop but alas.
Thanks in advance!

I would say yes, that the game would probably be worth waiting for. Reason being it'll most likely be the last GNT game released for the Cube (not only because the Cube is at the end of it's life, but the story at this point has taken a dramatic turn and the whole game would need reworking to be accurate again), and you may as well hold out for the latest (and greatest?) one. Going off the changes between 2 and 3, the differences in the game engine will probably be minor at best. A few new characters, maybe a new mode, some new specials for a few characters and a couple tweaks is about what I'd expect. The turnaround time on all of the games has been about a year, so it should be due out sometime beyond October.
From my shopping experience, prices almost never drop in Japan. Unless it explicitly says "priced down re-issue" or something like that. And even that can take several years. Games usually just go out of print instead of being priced down (but I hear stuff is fairly easy to find in used shops).
Post by: blackfootsteps on August 23, 2005, 10:18:50 PM
I was thinking sometime in 2006 so roughly October is pretty sweet. I''ll wait for number 4 and import JSS instead.
Thanks a lot Famicom!

Seeing that Naruto 3 was baised just after the chuunin exam, Number 4 would be baised at the end of this japanese series (just before the 3year jump)
I dont see a dramatic turn?
maybe added:8 boring sound ninja (5 with seals), Bone guy, sasuke with seals, guy with the chakra eating sword...
taken out: Narutos teacher, crappy tiger guy, 4th, puppet, dog (maybe left in for the kids)
its not that complex

I didn't say 4 would need it, I said any game after 4 would need it.

How's that different from the average GC or GBA game sold here?

The trend holds steady for the hot sellers, but most of the crap or underachievers here gets a price drop almost immediatly. Not something I've seen on import websites at least.

Four of the five sound ninjas are confirmed in (and they'd be stupid NOT to put Kimimaro in), and two of them playable from the beginning. Looks like there's new specialized team attacks for 3 vs 3 mode too.
Post by: Nephilim on September 17, 2005, 05:47:22 AM
the game seems to run faster, which good (less recovery specails)

So I ended up buying GNT 3, fantastic game, played it for a week straight til I had everything unlocked and now...
I'm gonna do it all again for #4. So far it seems that as far as updated supers for characters goes there are none.
Which is a shame coz I was really looking forward to Butterfly Chouji.3 v 3 mode is actually balanced and playable now, the new team-specific specials look fantastic compared to the generic combo from GNT 3. Finally like every other team fighter you can actually tag in and out.
Story mode has been overhauled: there is a new mission mode after completing story mode, seems like a couple of hundred missions.
The best news: no sign yet of Akamaru or Karasu!
Goodbye summer...

But having heard the glaring lack of updates for the older cast, I don't think I'm sold on this installment. If (and it's a big if) there's a GNT5 I may go for that instead. I was never one to buy into marginal yearly updated games, and I can't make an exception here either.

I just unlocked Kimimaro! His down-X will be fantastic in multiplayer games.
Is there a bit more variety in the later missions? I've mainly been doing C and B ranked missions so far.

Very light spoilers...
KDR:
Surprisingly no. Story mode has no requirements, its basically fight X, beat X.
Mission mode has requirements: eg 'Finish arcade mode with 100,000 points with character X,' or 'Get X wins in survival' or 'Hit Iruka with a 3-9 hit combo.' Nothing too exciting.

Visual orgasm, freaking awsome effects on his specails and attacks
60-70% 10hit combo muahaha
