Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 coming stateside

It looks like Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 is being localized for Western release on the Nintendo Wii.

This was revealed via a post on popular game-rental service GameFly’s web-site (via: GoNintendo). The game has yet to be officially announced for Western release but these kinds of early retail reveals are usually accurate and in this case GameFly has been accurate 100% of the time, so it’s pretty much a done deal.

The game, which is entitled “Naruto Shippiden: Great Ninja Battle EX 3” in Japan, was released in the Land of the Rising Sun on November 27th, 2008 and features a new mode called “Hurricane Clash mode” where players take on hordes of ninja in levels based on locations from the hot anime series. There is also a new system called “Senzai Ninriki” that allows players to gain a new power when they reach Critical Mode. There is also a tag-team mode as well.

The storyline in Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 includes an original Naruto: Shippuden story line and the beginning of the Hidan and Kakuzu arc.
