Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact goes gold
Namco Bandai has announced that its new PSP fighting game Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact has officially gone gold ahead of next month's launch.
Development work has been completed on the newest anime-inspired title from acclaimed Japanese studio CyberConnect2, which is the latest in a series that has sold more than eight million copies worldwide.
The game will allow players to unleash their ninja combat skills in a range of solo and multiplayer modes starring many of the characters from the most recent episodes of the popular series.
Battles range from one-on-one conflicts to epic one vs 100 brawls, with a refined control system making the action accessible to newbies yet deep enough for hardcore gamers to master in great detail.
Boss encounters include the likes of Eight Tails and The Six Paths of Pain, with all missions set to be playable for two people cooperatively via ad-hoc wireless connection.
More than 20 characters from the show will be included, with customisation options carrying across all modes in the game.
