Naruto: Clash Of Ninja Series
What did this series of games do wrong to end up falling into oblivion and overshadowed by Ultimate Ninja Storm?

gamecube did not sell well and ultimate ninja got all the budget and attention. They were only going to make new clash games if they could be lazy which they were able to do until the wii era.

Clash of Ninja and those PS2 Bleach games are the peak of anime arena fighters. Since then it has all gone downhill.

Ninja Storm graphics and simple controls made it more appealing to fans of Naruto. Arena fighters were big back then thanks to Tenkaichi, with the whole selling point being that you could re-live fights from the series in 3D.

Clash of Ninja appealed more to gamers
Ultimate Ninja and storm subsequently appealed more to fans. I loved both series to death. I had every Naruto game on GBA, Xbox, gamecube, Wii, DS and PS2. I was disappointed in storm games at first because the gameplay was less frantic but storm 2/3 and their online modes rekindled my interest. You know remember laggy users spamming Minato throws online, Storm 2 Sasori, shippuden Kiba in NUNS3 pre-nerf

How in the ever loving fuck after all these years there are still no Naruto RPG where you make your own OC and starts in one of the villages until it ends at ninja war 4. It's freaking easy money. The ninja world is one of the most popular fanfiction settings already, and the power set and factions are diverse enough to satisfy every players.

Ya it would be nice if they gave some of the open world love to other series even though I know they never will. Even though I don’t care for the series I think they fumbled with the MHA game. That setting would be so good for an semi open world rpg like that 1 Naruto Xbox game

You can’t compare the two. Rise and Broken Bond have rpg aspects while Storm is basically all flashy fights. There’s an open world aspect to Storm games but it’s very rudimentary, no real platforming or movement based abilities because walk to the next NPC, click through some dialogue then go to the flashy fight.

I recommend the 360 Naruto games to anyone looking for a solid, nostalgic Naruto experience. The fights in Storm are fine, somewhat more technical than the 360 games so they’re both worth at least trying.
Don’t get Storm 4 on Steam though, desu e DLC is broken and basically bricks the whole game now.

The fights were just as shallow and boring as the bamco arena mashers but goddamn if the overworld wasn't fun to traversal and complete objectives in. They really fucking nailed the look and feel of the village, how it is that very specific spot of some modern technology like vending machines while still looking almost medieval in architecture. Loved the racing ones the most.

Jesus christ dude this was one of the videos I had on my hard drive back when I was in my peak Narutard phase, probably something they had up for download in places like IGN or Gametrailers. Those certain animation bits with accompanying sounds had existed in my brain for years and it all just connected after watching that bit. I never even had the game, I only had magazines that were raving about the games and how they required region locking circumventing devices to even play, it all seemed just so mysterious and intriguing.

Goddamn anime used to feel so cool back in the day. Admittedly I was a wee lad back then, but still.

The fact Kishimoto designed Lars' Tekken outfit at all is already peak crossover nonsense, but seeing it actually pop up in Storm 2 made it feel weirdly canon. Dude just showed up dressed like a PS2-era OC dipped in lightning. Honestly though, that design had more personality than half the characters in post-Pain Naruto.

This series makes me COOM just because it's the very definition of "better than it has any right to be." Frenchy Ubisoft made a better single player Naruto game than Bandai Namco. Granted it was from their best studio at the time (Ubisoft Montreal) but nonetheless you'd not expect that (especially since I think by this point Ubisoft's reputation for low quality was starting to creep into the mainstream consciousness).
