Why is there no story mode for this game? this literally has the same visual quality as the anime. goddamit this looks so f**king good.
they could. they could make the entire series playable as a series of game, like the ubisoft games. couldnt you have overworld exploration, followed by cut scenes and voices from the anime, and then 3d-seperate stage fights?
I mean - you could tell the entire saga of naruto, and without fillers in great visual HD quality, getting to play many of the cool battles taking art assets, moves, controls and gameplay from these three games.

My feelings is that Naruto is this great shounen work. it just needs trimming. removing the fillers, cutting down on unnecessary fluff, you could have a great story. 50 hour action adventure game with light RPG elements. going up to time skip. and then another one from shippuuden to pain arc. and then the third game from the great ninja war arc.
Its difficult to get new people into Naruto when the body of work is so big. fillers really make it off putting. Kishimoto as a mangaka has gotten so much better over the years. somehow this man has a knack of dealing with many characters at a time. he is really good at that, even if treads the same waters often.
