505 GAMES TO BRING NARUTO TO NINTENDO 3DS IN 2011
Milton Keynes, UK – 9th March 2011 – International videogames publisher 505 Games has today proudly announced the first Nintendo 3DS outing of everyone’s favourite adolescent ninja with Naruto Shippuden 3D – The New Era. Set for release before the end of the year, Naruto Shippuden 3D – The New Era will provide high-kicking action in glorious, portable 3D in an all new story setting.
In this latest videogame action adventure in the long running and celebrated series, Naruto is presented for the very first time in 3D, with dynamic camera twists and turns taking full advantage of the new Nintendo handheld’s hardware capabilities. Naruto is available from the outset as a selectable character, with rival Sasuke un-lockable during the course of gameplay. A supporting cast of ten ‘assist’ characters, three of which can be taken along per chapter, offers a different dynamic to gameplay, allowing for a more strategic approach to combat.
