New gameplay footage up at Play-Asia.

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.

the videos look cool (play-asia is hosting some)
the game seems to run faster, which good (less recovery specails)

[kirby_killer_dedede]

Why did I completely miss the memo that this game existed?

*Digs up old thread

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...

[Famicom]

Akamaru is definitely in. Karasu, I don't know for sure.

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 think I've pretty much decided to wait for the first game (which should be the next one) that takes place in the second half of the series...

[Caliban]

Bill, do you mean the second half in relation to the manga? If you did mean that then you are gonna be dissapointed, I read somewhere (I can't remember at the moment) that the 2nd part will only be shown on TV in the beginning of 2006. So the game you want might take a while until it is released, and obviously for the NRS.  

[Bill Aurion]

Indeed I do...But that's okay, I'm patient...

(I'd rather wait for a Revolution version anyway!)

love the game, iv got like 80missions done so far

[blackfootsteps]

Wow that's a lot! In between studying for exams I've done 30ish.
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.

[KDR_11k]

Are the missions still mostly "fight character X and finish him with move Y"?

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.
