NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2

Today is apparently Naruto's birthday, with new assets to celebrate.

LOS ANGELES - October 10, 2008

TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher (D3P), publishers of interactive entertainment software, would like to wish Naruto a happy birthday! Celebrities who share the orange-clad ninja's birth date include composer Giuseppe Verdi, singer David Lee Roth, and actor Mario Lopez. Thanks to inside sources, the publishers have exclusive info on how the young ninja will spend his special day. The Hokage-in-training plans to sleep in, dabble in a bit of late-afternoon jutsu practice, and indulge in a few good pranks. He will then top it off with an all-out birthday extravaganza at the local ramen shop.

To add to the festivities, TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher have released gameplay footage and art from the upcoming NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 for Nintendo Wii™. NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 is the only four-player fighting game featuring the birthday guy that will offer new gameplay modes, improved fighting mechanics, and an original storyline created just for North America.

Featuring 35 playable characters, including the mysterious covert ops team called the Anbu, NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 will ship to stores on October 21st.
