NEW TRAILER FOR NARUTO(TM): NINJA DESTINY UNLEASHED

MEDIA ADVISORY

TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher of America, Inc. have released a kickin' new trailer for NARUTO TM : Ninja Destiny for the Nintendo DS TM handheld system. Available to download and view now, this trailer showcases Rock Lee and Gaara squaring off in a one-on-one fight, while demonstrating the intuitive touch-screen gameplay unique to the DS. NARUTO: Ninja Destiny is expected ship to retail stores nationwide on February 26, 2008.

Players can soon take their ninja battles on the road with NARUTO: Ninja Destiny, the first 3D head-to-head NARUTO fighter for the Nintendo DS. Any aspiring ninja can unleash powerful jutsu and take advantage of items to brawl his way to victory against 16 different characters. Dual-screen combat will allow fierce battles to unfold on the top screen while special power ups can be strategically unleashed on the touch screen for fast, frenetic action. Core fighting game fans and casual gamers alike will find plenty to enjoy, thanks to a combo move system that is both intuitive to pick-up and challenging to master. With new characters, stages, and a much-improved frame rate, NARUTO: Ninja Destiny offers new content over the original Japanese version while offering a slew of popular gameplay options like the intense single-player story mode, versus, and wireless two-player battles.
