Official Naruto 3 Thread

Today I received my copy of Naruto 3 from Play-Asia...woot! Anyway, does anyone else here have the game? Right now I'm focusing on Snake Eater, but when I'm done with that, I'll be moving onto Naruto 3 and Finest Hour to review...

So, who here has Naruto 3, and what do you think of the game thus far? Anything that we all should know as we start to play the game? Such as translation and stuff like that? Come on guess, Naruto 3 discussion!
 
Which one? PS2 or GC? I have the PS2 one, naruto 2, which is pretty good, I will play more if i can figure out whats going on.
 
My friend picked this up, I will probably have a bash at it with him this weekend coming, he's been playing it a bit over the past couple of days he says but he said he was having trouble figuring out the moves.

3 on 3 should be a bit of fun, I'll report back with my experiences in the next week or so.
 
Look foward to this game being the first game I ever import. From what I'm hearing it seems to be your pretty basic update. The only real complaints I've heard is that it's a bit too similar to the first 2 in terms of character selection and such but that doesn't concern since I've never played the first 2. I don't really know much about the game otherwise but I've become a pretty big Naruto so I should eat it right up.

Unless I missed something, you don't actually play "3-on-3." It's more like the King Of Fighters games where you play as one character after another when you get defeated, but you can do a team super using all three characters just like in Rival Schools.

I've barely touched the game; I don't really want to play anything in depth until I'm done with classes in a few weeks. Not playing MGS3 is killing me! :)
 
OK, how do you play two versus two matches, with yourself, and a friend controller characters at the same time? I have no knowledge of Japanese whatsoever, and need help finding it, in order to play it.
 
I played a fair bit of this at work last weekend and so far, its looking promising. Id love a translation of menus and stuff plus how to unlock the new characters. I bought a load of stuff at the shop and I have no idea what it all does. I just wanna unlock Gai. Gai >*
 
I just got it yesterday. Haven't played it yet because I need to mod my cube. Any tips on how to not fuck up my cube would be appreciated.
 
I won a copy of this just the other day (been quite lucky in online contests in the past month or so :D).
What do you guys use to play this import?

I was thinking of getting the free loader, but I heard the action replay also works for this?
 
First of all, thanks HooDoo...

I would suggest purchasing a Freeloader. They're only like $20 from Play-Asia, and you can play games from any region on any GameCube. Well worth it, if you're an import gamer.
 
I started playing for a bit.. was kind of bothered by the fact that it looks and plays exactly the same as 2.. but i guess i should have expected that.
 
I have two questions...First of all...How in the world do you block?

Second of all, what is it that makes the Naruto games so popular? I know that it's a popular anime, but what makes the fighters so great? Don't get me wrong, I like Naruto 3, but why is it such a huge game series?
 
we've been playing this since before thanksgiving. I skimmed the thread for questions, I'll pay more attention frlm now on to answer stuff if people have specific questions. else I just say go to gamefaqs =P

Pretty fun game.

you have to unlock characters in a certain order. Go to the shop and look for an icon thats blue with like a shadow profile picture thingy. Those are your characters to unlock. the top most icons that are red with a knife across them are game mode. Everythign else is prettty much useless from the shops.

Not everything that you have the ability to buy shows up at the shop all at thee same time. So like if you buy a character, then leave the shop, then re-enter there is very good chances there is now a new cahracter for you to buy. Thats why I said you have to unlock the characters in a specific order.

blocking is the weakest aspect of this game. There is no blocking, everyone has auto-block with no way to turn it off. If you don't press anything, you block all attacks. Also note that autoblocking has a brief moment before it 'turns on' which is why I hate it so much. So if someone appears behind you and you turn around and want to block you just get smacked in the face.

3v3 matches are KOF style, however, there is a 4 player mode where all 4 people are playing simult. The combat is very Tales of Symphonia esque in that its 3d but you target someone and then move in a 2d plane. 2v2 can them be done so that all 4 people are playing simult in this mode.
