Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay, so we know Naruto has achieved Western fame, and of course, many business people have caught the franchise in it's sight. Of course, as business men, their primary concern is making money. And the same is in Japan. Though most of the time, in Japan, they realize they can make more money if they put quality into their product. Now, I know that most of the American games are just translations of the original, but the American ones seem so...Half-Assed. I mean, come on! They had to cut out so much from Uzumaki Chronicles that it didn't make any sense, and wasn't as fun. They also take us as fools, making all transformation characters as seperate characters altogether to a) add "content" and b) make it so 3 years old can understand. And as if UC wasn't bad enough, they're releasing it's sequel already! Do they not learn? So where does Sasuke go? "Training?" "Vacation?" When will the line be drawn? Now it's Narutimate Portable (I understand it's different but still) the 360 game looks like it'll be GOOD. Because the people working on it care about Naruto, they care about their fans, they know that it's not gonna appeal to non-Naruto fans, so they put content in it that would make FANS have fun! That's why I expect it to be the best-selling Naruto game EVER. Other business men should take this as an example, Japanese and American.

I know we love Naruto, and we're going to buy the games regardless if they're good, but I just want something that makes me really feel like I'm in Naruto's shoes, living his life, being a ninja. I want the experience of feeling fireballs shoot past my teeth, of wind swirling in my hand, of controlling sand, and of delivering a bone shattering kick! I just wish people would not just make a Naruto game because it makes money!

From what I've read in GI some of the writters or something went to Japan to speak with Kishimoto, his staff, and some of the guys that make the games in Japan to give it an authentic feel.
