It’s a 2.5D beat-’em-up reminiscent of the Ninja Council series on the GBA, except The New Era doesn’t have the excuse of limited hardware for being this shallow.

To give you the whole picture I’ve made sure to include a bit of everything. There’s a lot here from the well-known fighters like Ultimate Ninja Storm to lesser-known forays into the world of RPGs.

Masashi Kishimoto’s Magnum Opus revolutionized the way anime is experienced in the West, and its influence has spread much further than the TV & film industry – it’s also made its way into gaming, where Naruto games have pioneered a new age of interest in anime-based titles.
