Featuring scenes, characters, and storylines up to the 140th episode of
the hit anime series, the game improves upon the Japanese original with
additional characters, content, and improved frame rate. Any aspiring
ninja can unleash powerful jutsu and take advantage of items to brawl
his way to victory against 16 different characters. Dual-screen combat
will allow fierce battles to unfold on the top screen while special
power ups can be strategically unleashed on the touch screen for fast,
frenetic action. Designed to appeal to both fighting game veterans and
newcomers, players can endeavor to become a proficient ninja master by
chaining together a string of deadly combos. NARUTO: Ninja Destiny
