The colorful chibi art style suits the simplistic combat, and support characters can be called into action with the push of a button. Once a level is complete, XP is earned to upgrade stats or unlock new skills. This is not a one vs one fighter, instead offering a 2D brawling experience and some light RPG elements. With two campaigns, one for Naruto and the other for Rock Lee, players push through a series of stages filled with baddies needing to be squashed.
Naruto Powerful Shippuden follows suit, as it incorporates the same comedic tone and animation style seen in the anime.Īlthough Namco apparently did not trust Rock Lee enough to put his name in the title, he shares the spotlight with Naruto in the storyline.
Debuting in April 2012, this chibi style anime lasted for 51 episodes and was geared towards a younger audience.
Despite the misleading title, this 3DS brawler is not actually based on Naruto Shippuden but the parody spin-off series Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals.
