It's not like you can go out and rent it or anything, but if you get half a chance, play it or buy ten copies. Have any of you other guys played it?

On a side note, I picked up Kururin at the same time since I had never imported any games before and I can't believe how m uch fun this quirky little game is. I'd recommend everyone pick up both of these.

Naruto 3 has the same charm of SSB just because it is so easy to pick up and play, but while it is a blast to play, it doesn't have as much depth as SSB.

I disagree, I've been playing Naruto 3 with some highly competitive people - once you learn how to break chains and can threaten crazy damage and the mind games that come with it, I think you'll find it just as awesome as SSB in terms of mind games.
also it's one of the few games where cold war-style deterrence comes into play

Naruto is my first and only import so far, and it is impressively fun. I definitely recommend it to anyone who watches the anime or liked SSB (so everybody
). I personally am watching Naruto's developer, Tomy, for future releases and I can't wait for the next one because I'd like to have Kimmimaro's babies.Has anybody found a way to increase the health bar or change the round number? I thought I found some handicap stuff in there somewhere but I don't remember anything specific to the health bar or round number.

My friends won't play SSBM (stuck bitching over changes from SSB) so this is our main 4 player fighter.As a fan of the anime and manga, things are looking good for future installments of the GNT series gameplay wise. The game keeps up to date with the anime, which right now is at a critical point in the story. Since GNT3 there's been about 5 or so new characters introduced (Orochimaru's 5 sound ninja, plus filler story characters if you wanna count them), plus a couple they left out (Kabuto, Shizune, maybe Kisame too), and a few character changes (Gaara's new sand attacks, drunken fighter Lee, Chouji's power pills, Neji's 128 point strike, Kiba's new merged dog attack, Sauske's cursed seal level 2 mode). Not a whole lot, but probably more than what was changed from GNT2 to 3.
However, the real money would be on what comes after that. At the pace the anime is going at, next year there should be plenty of (future anime/manga spoilers) 3 year time skip material to work with. A host of new characters, all new character models for existing ones, new moves, the works. I don't know how long the development cycle would be, but if they start now by creating models based off the manga and then waiting on the anime for animation and voicework, they could feasibly pull off GNT5 (or 4, should they choose to skip this year, but I doubt that will happen) as a launch title for Rev in Japan (or GC game at Rev launch time, since it is backwards compatible), with a possible US release when the anime catches up here in the states.
But back to the point: Naruto 3 is awesome.

What? That's retarded, Melee is like a bajillion times better than the original.
Not to mention there were hardly any changes
Only awesome additions and improvements.
