I actually like how Minato was in those games. Absolutely silent, mysterious ninja that during his ultimate simply teleports behind you and kills you. He wasn't as cheerful as he was in the anime, he looked grim and serious.
i think that's cause the anime or even manga had fully revealed him yet so they wanted to keep him mysterious, so they choose something that wouldn't clash with future material
@@MGrey-qb5xz But at the same time, the Mysterious and Serious Minato is still accurate to the source material because that's basically how he is in the Battlefield, hell the only time he speak to the enemy is to make Small Chat or to taunt them which arguably enhances his Serious Portrayal even more. You can see it in action on Kakashi's Bonus Chapter when Obito gets crushed and when he's fighting Killer Bee and when fighting Obito when the Kyuubi attacked the Village.
@@Azazantei I agree, he praises Ay and Bee for their strength/speed and their bond but he isn’t laughing or smiling at all during the interaction he was completely dead serious.
These classic games had such passion for the anime. The details they put in these games were a testament of love. I miss Ultimate Ninja and Clash of Ninja.
And what also makes Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution games better it’s and fun to me it was co-op so it can be up to 4 players im glad I l still have it on my Wii
Really sucks that Namco hasn't been doing much for Naruto games at all nowadays. It's just focusing on the storm games mostly and supporting Shinobi strikers. Wish they did more. Hell I'll even take a Naruto fighterz at this point lmao
The Naruto games does a great service to the often forgotten side characters by showing us their personalities through their jutsus, combos, and ultimates
Kakashi Copying Ultimates was actually in the very first Clash of Ninja game, but you had to unlock Sharingan Kakashi with a cheat code, and then press the X button on the character select screen when hovering over Kakashi. He was able to copy all other ultimate jutsus in the game, including having his own "Inner Kakashi" when copying Sakura's ultimate.
The only one he wasn't able to do was Haku's, because his is a Kekkai Genkai, which is a bloodline limit jutsu the Sharingan can't copy. He also was able to copy Nine-Tailed Naruto's, but only for the first game.
Some more details for Ultimate Ninja series: -Even though Tentens awakening type is listed differently, it functions the same as a combo awakening. Neji, Kisame, & Kankuro also need to hit combos aswell to enter their awakened state (although Neji is the only one I listed that can bypass this by doing his regular ultimate). -If you hold the taunt button as Sakon, the name on the HUD display will change to Ukon and your health gradually heals -Naruto’s Reversal Ultimate doesn’t show his face at all. More than likely this is because his cloak form model was removed for the 4-Tailed form. So the model in the cutscene is probably just his regular form. -Kakashi was planned to have Kamui as one of his ougis (most likely his Awakened) but wasn’t finished in time for the final game. Source is the Cutting Room Floor. There’s an incomplete cutscene of it too. -In Ultimate Ninja 5, Summoning Ultimates were removed. The summons were replaced with new ultimates for all the Shippuden characters. For the kid versions, they just duplicated one of their other ultimates (ex: PTS Gaara has Sand Shuriken twice. PTS Choji has the partial expansion twice.) PTS Kiba is the only who was given a proper Ultimate to replace his summoning, which was a cutscene version of Garouga from Ultimate Ninja 3. -In Ultimate Ninja 3, Sasuke & Kakashi can copy everybody’s jutsu. -PTS Shikamaru’s regular Ultimate Jutsu references Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.
Kakashi did have the kamui in Ultimate ninja 5 if you strapped a paper bomb n wait till 5 or 4 secs to active It and you could destroy a large amount off hp maybe kill the get max chakra could give him 7 bursts of lightning blade bouncing the opponent repeatedly in the ground got a be good at substitution he kakashi was my favourite character, 1 tail naruto transformed kimimaru n ten ten
@@chevarradio3854 He has it as his jutsu, not as an Ultimate Attack. What I’m saying is someone datamined the game and found incomplete files for a Kamui ougi
And now bandai giving us the same exact game for more than ten years it's really disappointing, they even removed storm one free roam system instead of upgrade it
first they downgraded the combat in ultimate ninja 5 and then removed it in storm 1 , i think they hate the open world stuff in general but it was more like hub world where you could travel around quicker and get in to action
@@MGrey-qb5xz Probably, but I really want them to create a better open world in storm connection, however I don't think they will do that in this game because it's just a collection with some new characters and combat system.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Series from PS2 Era will always have a special place in my heart and soul, these are the most unique Naruto games for me, only Storm 1 was coming close to these Masterpiece Naruto games, especially from gameplay perspective, I don't know why, but for me, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Series from PS2 Era, are so nostalgic, unique and divine at the same time, I have so many memories during my childhood by playing these Unique Naruto games, Naruto games from PS2 Era was always very close to the anime itself because of the unique vibe and charm☯️ 🤷🏻♂️✌️

@@kingzingo1784 bro i hated how they replaced the open world combat for that crap in 5, it was so hectic and true to form to the series, i don't understand why they didn't improve on it instead of just downgrading
Unpopular opinion: Naruto's 2d games were more fun and complete, in the sense of having a greater variety of combos, normal jutsus (those that spend little chakra) and ultimate jutsus (which spend a lot of chakra). For example, NSUN5 characters had 13~15 combos, 2 normal jutsus and 2~3 ultimate jutsus that could be used in a single fight. However, in the Storm franchise, characters always only had 6 combos, one normal jutsu and one ultimate jutsu. Also, 2d games included more characters like Anko, Shizune and Kurenai. They even included Hanabi and the Konohamaru squad, when both didn't have a single defined jutsu or fighting style. Maybe I'm being too nostalgic, but I would love if the Ultimate Ninja 2D franchise got a sequel someday.
Yea I think traditional fighters/platform fighters are much better than the arena fighters, but arena fighters are cheap to make so despite the company making these Naruto games being bandai namco makers of one of the greatest fighting game series of all time, known as the most challenging and in depth fighting game, with the record for the longest running video game story, Tekken, it's so good, but they still just make these cheap arena fighters for ez profit except that one time they let arc system works make dbfz which was such a good move I hope arc sys makes the next shonen crossover game but with shorter combos more like their game guilty gear strive because despite me being not very casual I , like most casuals prefer the shorter combos, also just let Tekken team themselves work on a Naruto fighter would be awesome instead of giving their licensed games to their smaller divisions
FighterZ or CoN should be the example Naruto follows, though I wonder if it's too late now that the series is running life support on particularly unimpressive releases
From Clash of Ninja 2: When Rock Lee is fighting Gaara and uses Primary Lotus, he can upgrade it to the version he used in the show at the Chunin Exam. It's a neat little detail my friend showed me a very long time ago, and I can't remember if it's back-X or press X again after it connects (GameCube controls), but it only works against Gaara
I only found about it a few years ago and I had been playing GNT4 since forever...and for the record I think it ALWAYS happen in ALL pre-Shippuden clash of ninja games if you use the super against Gaara. Can't remember if it actually was necessary to do the first gate open though, but it is awesome to see
If I'm remember correctly, UN3 is the only naruto game that allows you to customise 2 ninjutsu and before battle. But not all ninjutsu can be applied to everybody like rasengan, chidori, palm rotation, human boulder can be used to those specific character.
It's a pipe dream, but I'll genuinely scream of excitement if one day, CC2 decides to remaster and port the Ultimate Ninja PS2 games. Such absolute gems these games were.
Adding to another comment curious aspects of Minato in that game, I remember I played a Lot to unlock him, his style is very grim, and the anbu book within the game ranks him as the most DANGEROUS character which gives it makes it so much interesting
Ultimate Ninja was always better than Storm. I had way more fun with them and the attention to detail was a lot more consistent and accurate. Not to mention the ultimate moves were just better in every way. Hashirama’s ultimate in Ultimate Ninja is leagues better than both of his ultimate in Storm for example. They are longer, showcase the power of the character perfectly (regarding their speed, technique, ability etc) and they fit the character’s personality. Overall I’d play Ultimate Ninja over Storm. But if they decided to remake Ultimates Ninja for modern consoles, I’d flip.
Ultimate ninja 3 is one of the best naruto games ever made tbh. So much content for a ps2 game man I remember playing it for hours unlocking characters and moves and flipping out when I unlocked Minato
Me too even they are not going to change the graphics or anything all I want is all this details an additional combos to all characters Justsu clashes instant awaking each character should be unique in their own way tsunade should be able to regenerate health the same with sakura itachi tskoyomi that’s slows time etc
She used to eat a lot but she burned the calories with missions. Since there is peace and less danger after the fourth war, it is normal that her physical condition would decline due to less action.
I really love the old Naruto games, especially the Sharingan mode. In Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 (PS2), it's so satisfying when seeing Kakashi or Sasuke using the enemy's jutsu. They even can copy Itachi's jutsu, Shadow Explosion Jutsu.
What a throwback to the Past! Man ultimate ninja was my childhood, played Ultimate Ninja 5 almost everyday on my PS2 to the point none of my friends can beat me. I always play as Naruto. I played 4 and 3 as well later on when I got my hands on them. I love Ultimate Ninja a lot though I certainly like Storms Gameplay more
This is why Ultimate Ninja 5 are the best Naruto game for me. They give Tenten her own spotlight in the game when Kishimoto wouldn't give her a chance to shine in the anime (excluding the fillers) nor in the manga. And can we just talk about her Awakening jutsu?! "Ninja Tool: Heavenly Chain Disaster" will always be my favorite jutsu! And the fact that it's actually in the anime! (Not as cool as the game interprets but I'll take what I can get).
If I have to be completely honest the ultimate ninja games while lacking in graphics and arena fight gameplay, the amount of details is ultimately amazing. The awakenings, the ultimate jutsus, the soundtrack. Don’t get me wrong the soundtrack in storm series has some of their moments but non of them really sticks as much as ultimate ninja. It’s even more amazing how some characters have their own gimmick going on to make them feel unique. One of my favourites is Minato’s jutsu, I remember always falling for it, he can literally bounce off walls if he misses his rasengan. It was the coolest thing I’ve seen. Also, I hate how Anko isn’t in the storm games, she was like my waifu back then. Her, Kurenai, Shizune, Temari and Hinata also Tayuya. Man I want to play those games again.
UN3-5 wasn't lacking in gameplay. After UN2 they went on to perfect it in UN3. From UN4 to UN5 you can say they evolved it. Evolving it to eventually what we know as thr Storm series.
They also have jutsu clash, they are also have ultimate in awakening mode. They have 2 different movesets, if u charge with regular attack and if u charge with ninja dash. They also have a character react differently depending on the damage they took. They will be sent flying if the damage is high and they will even bouncing off the ground and fly up if the damage is too critical (i.e tsunade's hokage mode punch).
I love the game because it's not just smashing buttons, it's more about tactics. Down and circle to open opponent guard, up and circle to make opponent flying upwards, forward and circle to make distance with opponent, back and circle to keep opponent within reach. Also you can do forward/back and circle in midair. Pressing x button twice to block kunai and shuriken
Ps2 Ultimate Ninja was fire the fighting was epic and there was lots of hidden stuff to find such as sharingan letting you copy movesets, intentionally messing up on some moves to have a different effect, plus i like the 2d fighting more than the 3d. Oddly enough i like 3d more for dragon balls.
One that I fould super cool is that Kakashi and Sasuke can trigger inner Kakashi and Sasuke if they copy Sakura's inner Sakura jutsu in Ultimate Ninja 3-5. I also like that everyone can customize jutsu. For example you can have Tenten use chidori.
fun fact kakashi's not the only one with a unique justu in clash of ninja in clash of Ninja two rock lee actually has two the primary lotus which is his normal one and the hidden lotus which can only be used when you active his inner gates mode by pressing down on the control pad when you have enough chakra. But another fun detail about lee is that his primary lotus has as special call out from the series when lee does the move he normally just kicks the opponent into the air the spin slams them down however if he uses the move on gaara he kicks him into the air than rapidly kicks him to raise him a bit higher before slamming him into the ground just like he did during their chunin exam match
@@carstan62 the revolution series and Gekitou Ninja Taisen Special are far more complete games than the second Clash of Ninja. Special's roster might be flat out busted, but the only Clash of Ninja that is balanced are the first two games due to the miniscule roster.
Clash of Ninja 4 is still my favorite of all the Naruto games. We didn’t get it in the US though so we had to use one of those Freeloader discs to trick the GameCube into thinking it was playing a NA game when we’d put the Japanese Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 disc into the console. Gotta love region locks
Man, I loved the UN series. I used to stay up all night playing wit my best homie on the phone. Since there was no online play, we'd jus use our imagination and choose different characters to fight against. We'd take turns creating storylines, like WHY would these 2 Ninja be fighting each other, etc. Then we'd pick the Ninjas we'd fight against on the hardest difficulty, wit MAX handicap on the CPU side. (So we'd make it as DIFFICULT as possible, but we'd styll wreck the CPU, cuz we had no life and played all Summer and whenever we had time off on the weekends, lol)
Hey brother I hope you search for Naruto ultimate ninja 5 mod ps2 and go to find newest videos,there is a modder who make the game alive. Trust me if we support him then he can make the game to be better than storm 4
My all time favourite detail was from Clash Of Ninja Revolution for Wii. While every other character in the game had a blocking animation for close combat attacks, Shikamaru would dodge out of the way of every strike. He was the only character who did this. It was such a cool thing when I saw it the first time and I still love it today.

Narutomate Accel "Tsunade" Is The True Embodiment Of Staying True To Source Material... I mean whe she is awakened her damage insane, She Heals Faster, her moveset is almost a rush down which is basically her forte
I always thought something was wrong with Naruto 3d era. The 2d era had heart and the ultimate jutsu were actually creative instead of big kaboom for strong character and weak sauce for the weakling. Just compare the ultimate they gave to Tenten !
I just laugh when i saw this Tenten in the video. I can remember how many times I've destroyed my friends/brothers with this ultimate, only after losing they give her a try and see how fun as hell was to play. Back in those days TenTen was a underrated character but secretly OP;
Clash of ninja 3 is still the best Naruto game I ever played. Had it for the Wii and played with a GameCube controller. I used anbu Kakashi and Hiruko the most, it was cool that him and Sasori were separate characters. I wish all Naruto games were more compact like that one, there’s too much space in the new ones
A lot of these were probably removed for balance reasons If a lot of these came back they would be cool for aesthetic reasons but they would make the already busted storm series even more busted
Things from the Video that SHOULD be in Storm Connections. •Instant awakening . Use awakening early , but lose the option to awaken at low health. •Copy Ninja Kakashi. Should have a 2nd jutsu that copy’s whatever jutsu that falls for Kakashi parry . The parry only works for ninjutsu. •Anko should’ve been In Storm a long time ago with curse mark awakening.

I really loved the Ultimate series, mained Tenten and Neji because they are very fun to play with the combo awakening mechanics which I enjoyed. My friend told me he got the Storm game for his Xbox I was excited to play it but it left me disappointed, I dropped the Naruto game after that.
Naruto will forever have a special place with a lot of us, while dragon ball x had some great games the story and majority of the adaptations came out way before the modern games and systems we love were made, while Naruto from start to finish was a on going journey from playing it on each new console or portable console to new characters being introduced in the show and us knowing soon will have a game or update to play as them, the story development with Minato being nameless along with the first and second hokages, I don’t think there will ever be another experience like Naruto and the gaming industry
Tsunade probably doesn't regen anymore due to balancing concerns. Not saying it would be broken but they probably thought it would be broken. Also considering you can switch characters in newer games which would make Tsunade a must pick option and could increase fight time.
Anko's Cursed Marked awakening is crazy! Now I want to see her in Storm. I imagine that series removed things like Kabuto's awakening regeneration because if he has it then characters like kyuubi chakra mode Naruto would need to have it too, and lord knows Naruto does not need any in-game buffs lol
Another mechanic that I really like from Ultimate Ninja 3 is that Tenten had a functional taunt, unlike the rest of the cast. If you hold up on the d-pad (the taunt command), she'll pull out a scroll and quickly summon a bunch of items that you can then pick up to restock her ninja tools.

That just goes to show that she can be powerful if Kishimoto cared about her. But let's face the reality. When it comes to side characters, he just doesn't care (with few characters exception).
In clash of ninja 2 there was a separate version of Kakashi from the original called Kakashi (sharingan) which had the same ability the only change this game made was adding the ability to transform mud fight. Much like rock Lee in the aforementioned clash of ninja 2.
Oh my god thank you so much. I remember my brother borrowed this game from his cousin and we played it a ton, could never remember the name and kinda just forgot specifically how it played so for a while now I just thought “I guess it was just storm 1”. But now I’ve finally found it.
I actually like how Minato was in those games. Absolutely silent, mysterious ninja that during his ultimate simply teleports behind you and kills you. He wasn't as cheerful as he was in the anime, he looked grim and serious.

For me, 5 gets the win. It was the only i played in my childhood tough. They did make all characters way more menacing with each ultimate
@@DestroyerOfWeebs 5 had the best main gameplay, all the other stuff goes to 4
Well, let's just agree Ultimate Ninja is better than Storm
@@gannielukks1811 the first ultimate ninja?
The way Tenten breathes, inhaling air and filling her lungs with pure O2, that's hokage level.
Bro is horny as hell 😭
I'm upset we never got to see Anko's stage 2 curse release
Anko had the worst glow down in boruto
My headcanon is her trauma from how Orochimaru treated her caused all this.
Every old woman we like in Naruto got a fckin glow down in Boruto 😂
She used to eat a lot but she burned the calories with missions. Since there is peace and less danger after the fourth war, it is normal that her physical condition would decline due to less action.
I think she was stress eating because Naruto pardoned Orochimaru and allowed him in their village without issue
@@GODWYNDEATHPRINCE Curse you Naruto!!!
I really love the old Naruto games, especially the Sharingan mode. In Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 (PS2), it's so satisfying when seeing Kakashi or Sasuke using the enemy's jutsu. They even can copy Itachi's jutsu, Shadow Explosion Jutsu.
What a throwback to the Past! Man ultimate ninja was my childhood, played Ultimate Ninja 5 almost everyday on my PS2 to the point none of my friends can beat me. I always play as Naruto. I played 4 and 3 as well later on when I got my hands on them. I love Ultimate Ninja a lot though I certainly like Storms Gameplay more
This is why Ultimate Ninja 5 are the best Naruto game for me. They give Tenten her own spotlight in the game when Kishimoto wouldn't give her a chance to shine in the anime (excluding the fillers) nor in the manga.
And can we just talk about her Awakening jutsu?! "Ninja Tool: Heavenly Chain Disaster" will always be my favorite jutsu! And the fact that it's actually in the anime! (Not as cool as the game interprets but I'll take what I can get).
Who did she use it against? I imagine it should be able to literally kill someone 💀
@@Faiqal_x1103 Unfortunately, she only use it once against her own water clone. After that, she was never shown using it ever again.
The whole combat In clash of ninja and the original ultimate ninja is far superior to mashing the same button in storm
If I have to be completely honest the ultimate ninja games while lacking in graphics and arena fight gameplay, the amount of details is ultimately amazing. The awakenings, the ultimate jutsus, the soundtrack. Don’t get me wrong the soundtrack in storm series has some of their moments but non of them really sticks as much as ultimate ninja.
It’s even more amazing how some characters have their own gimmick going on to make them feel unique. One of my favourites is Minato’s jutsu, I remember always falling for it, he can literally bounce off walls if he misses his rasengan. It was the coolest thing I’ve seen.
Also, I hate how Anko isn’t in the storm games, she was like my waifu back then. Her, Kurenai, Shizune, Temari and Hinata also Tayuya.
Man I want to play those games again.
it's more tight and the arena just slow the pacing in storm games, this style form ps2 works better
….you do realize every game back then lacked in details correct? Plus it wasn’t as bad as you’re making it out to be
Honestly, the graphics isn’t that bad. Due to visual details the game still looks good
UN3-5 wasn't lacking in gameplay. After UN2 they went on to perfect it in UN3. From UN4 to UN5 you can say they evolved it. Evolving it to eventually what we know as thr Storm series.
@@1DAR26 un5 really downgraded the open world combat though, un4 also had better side stuff
They also have jutsu clash, they are also have ultimate in awakening mode. They have 2 different movesets, if u charge with regular attack and if u charge with ninja dash. They also have a character react differently depending on the damage they took. They will be sent flying if the damage is high and they will even bouncing off the ground and fly up if the damage is too critical (i.e tsunade's hokage mode punch).
I love the game because it's not just smashing buttons, it's more about tactics. Down and circle to open opponent guard, up and circle to make opponent flying upwards, forward and circle to make distance with opponent, back and circle to keep opponent within reach. Also you can do forward/back and circle in midair. Pressing x button twice to block kunai and shuriken
Maybe ultimate ninja was all about fun and all, but ninja storm is about balance and competitiveness
Truly brings me back. No one makes games like they used to all everyone cares about now is how the game looks
The game developers put more effort into developing Tenten than Kishimoto.
The awakened ultimate jutsu is badass
Ikr! Who needs Kishimoto?!
Ps2 Ultimate Ninja was fire the fighting was epic and there was lots of hidden stuff to find such as sharingan letting you copy movesets, intentionally messing up on some moves to have a different effect, plus i like the 2d fighting more than the 3d.
Oddly enough i like 3d more for dragon balls.
One that I fould super cool is that Kakashi and Sasuke can trigger inner Kakashi and Sasuke if they copy Sakura's inner Sakura jutsu in Ultimate Ninja 3-5.
I also like that everyone can customize jutsu. For example you can have Tenten use chidori.
I loved doing that in 3 it was funny seeing Sakura use chidori.
I also liked how the jutsus could be leveled up which was fun.
fun fact kakashi's not the only one with a unique justu in clash of ninja in clash of Ninja two rock lee actually has two the primary lotus which is his normal one and the hidden lotus which can only be used when you active his inner gates mode by pressing down on the control pad when you have enough chakra. But another fun detail about lee is that his primary lotus has as special call out from the series when lee does the move he normally just kicks the opponent into the air the spin slams them down however if he uses the move on gaara he kicks him into the air than rapidly kicks him to raise him a bit higher before slamming him into the ground just like he did during their chunin exam match
@CornusEntertainment Sadly, Clash of Ninja peaked at 2. Not to say the later games were bad, but 2 was just built different.
@@carstan62 the revolution series and Gekitou Ninja Taisen Special are far more complete games than the second Clash of Ninja. Special's roster might be flat out busted, but the only Clash of Ninja that is balanced are the first two games due to the miniscule roster.
This is probably the most screen time Ten Ten has ever had lol
better development than the manga/anime lel
Temari avoids projectiles while recharging chakra in naruto ultimate series (PTS Temari). She uses her fan as protection while recharging.
Clash of Ninja 4 is still my favorite of all the Naruto games. We didn’t get it in the US though so we had to use one of those Freeloader discs to trick the GameCube into thinking it was playing a NA game when we’d put the Japanese Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 disc into the console. Gotta love region locks
That gaara's float, made my friends forbid me to use him. Because i always rekt them with it lol
Ten Ten's ultimate makes her look stronger than in the manga and show.
Man, I loved the UN series.
I used to stay up all night playing wit my best homie on the phone.
Since there was no online play, we'd jus use our imagination and choose different characters to fight against.
We'd take turns creating storylines, like WHY would these 2 Ninja be fighting each other, etc.
Then we'd pick the Ninjas we'd fight against on the hardest difficulty, wit MAX handicap on the CPU side.
(So we'd make it as DIFFICULT as possible, but we'd styll wreck the CPU, cuz we had no life and played all Summer and whenever we had time off on the weekends, lol)
Kakashi really do be hitting you with the *teleports behind you* "nothing personal kid"
Those games gave more respect to Tenten than the actual manga and show
Hey brother I hope you search for Naruto ultimate ninja 5 mod ps2 and go to find newest videos,there is a modder who make the game alive.
Trust me if we support him then he can make the game to be better than storm 4
My all time favourite detail was from Clash Of Ninja Revolution for Wii.
While every other character in the game had a blocking animation for close combat attacks, Shikamaru would dodge out of the way of every strike. He was the only character who did this.
It was such a cool thing when I saw it the first time and I still love it today.
I love when devs keep their attention on the details of an established IP. Makes me feel like they care about doing it justice.
Its true, i love Vermillion mode Naruto, when hes low health or something it activates and changes his ultimate jutsu. Theyre so creative and accurate
TenTen is literally treated better by everyone else than kishimoto and the actual characters from Naruto
3:20 actually Garra does fly around in his cloud briefly with his aerial attack.

The reason they removed some of these mechanics (ex, tsunade regeneration) is probably because online play came in thought
One of my friends actually started maining might guy because it was one of those characters thats kakashi was unable to copy it was so much fun
In Ultimate ninja 4 or 5, if you keep using the square combo with neji, you unlock his byakugan mode which increases his damage by alot.
Same goes for Asuma, he also gets awakened by doing combos
@@JoaoLucasK Also Kisame
Narutomate Accel "Tsunade" Is The True Embodiment Of Staying True To Source Material...
I mean whe she is awakened her damage insane, She Heals Faster, her moveset is almost a rush down which is basically her forte
when the old games were more lore accurate
Ultimate ninja 5 is the best naruto created all This little detail make it a masterclass
I never got the chance the ultimate ninja series, only Ninja Heroes 2 on the PSP.
Hope they get resmastered
That tenten ultimate was actually awesome
Of course they are not going make Gaara fly around in a game that's meant to be more balanced and competitive.
Reason why storm games also got rid of stuff is for competitive reasons
I always thought something was wrong with Naruto 3d era. The 2d era had heart and the ultimate jutsu were actually creative instead of big kaboom for strong character and weak sauce for the weakling.
Just compare the ultimate they gave to Tenten !
I just laugh when i saw this Tenten in the video. I can remember how many times I've destroyed my friends/brothers with this ultimate, only after losing they give her a try and see how fun as hell was to play. Back in those days TenTen was a underrated character but secretly OP;
Clash of ninja 3 is still the best Naruto game I ever played. Had it for the Wii and played with a GameCube controller. I used anbu Kakashi and Hiruko the most, it was cool that him and Sasori were separate characters. I wish all Naruto games were more compact like that one, there’s too much space in the new ones
Tenten awakened ultimate jutsu is very cool, why Kishimoto never put something like that in the anime series?
He did. Tenten use it to beat her own water clone. Try searching it up.
A lot of these were probably removed for balance reasons
If a lot of these came back they would be cool for aesthetic reasons but they would make the already busted storm series even more busted
Things from the Video that SHOULD be in Storm Connections.
•Instant awakening . Use awakening early , but lose the option to awaken at low health.
•Copy Ninja Kakashi. Should have a 2nd jutsu that copy’s whatever jutsu that falls for Kakashi parry . The parry only works for ninjutsu.
•Anko should’ve been In Storm a long time ago with curse mark awakening.
i think the tsunade healing wasn't added for balance purposes, no one wanted to fight someone that couldn't die
The Ultimate Ninja games are lost gems
Hey brother I hope you search for Naruto ultimate ninja 5 mod ps2 and go to find newest videos,there is a modder who make the game alive.
Trust me if we support him then he can make the game to be better than storm 4
The Kakashi Sharingan mechanic existed since the first actual natuto game on gamecube: Naruto Clash of Ninja 1. Not the revolution games
Even in PSP series we got Baki as playable
This really was a nostalgia trip for me, man I really had forgotten about the Ultimate Ninja series.
There is also the fact that Ino never used any flower based attacked in the anime, and only in the game does she do so
The OG Ultimate Ninja games were so much more fun for me than the Storm Games.
ultimate ninja 5 is the best naruto game ever
I really loved the Ultimate series, mained Tenten and Neji because they are very fun to play with the combo awakening mechanics which I enjoyed. My friend told me he got the Storm game for his Xbox I was excited to play it but it left me disappointed, I dropped the Naruto game after that.
Naruto will forever have a special place with a lot of us, while dragon ball x had some great games the story and majority of the adaptations came out way before the modern games and systems we love were made, while Naruto from start to finish was a on going journey from playing it on each new console or portable console to new characters being introduced in the show and us knowing soon will have a game or update to play as them, the story development with Minato being nameless along with the first and second hokages, I don’t think there will ever be another experience like Naruto and the gaming industry
Long time didn't hear Tenten's voice, i forget she has same VA with Nahida
That Sharingan copy ability was introduced in Clash of Ninja 2 for GCN. Kakashi could use it against every Ult that wasn't tied to a Kekkei Genkai.
Clash of Ninja 1 actually.
@@EWOODJ That's what I said.
Tsunade probably doesn't regen anymore due to balancing concerns. Not saying it would be broken but they probably thought it would be broken. Also considering you can switch characters in newer games which would make Tsunade a must pick option and could increase fight time.
I remember seeing old Japanese tournaments of some of the old ps2 Naruto games and let me tell you those we’re competitive AF
Anko's Cursed Marked awakening is crazy! Now I want to see her in Storm. I imagine that series removed things like Kabuto's awakening regeneration because if he has it then characters like kyuubi chakra mode Naruto would need to have it too, and lord knows Naruto does not need any in-game buffs lol
Kakashi: "dont take it personally that i defeated you with your own Ultimate."
old naruto games were so cool, had so much detail
And that is why ultimate nina 5 was my childhood. And is imo not only the best Naruto game but one of the best games of all time
Guy can awake 2 times, and his speed & damage will sky rocket 😂
Another mechanic that I really like from Ultimate Ninja 3 is that Tenten had a functional taunt, unlike the rest of the cast. If you hold up on the d-pad (the taunt command), she'll pull out a scroll and quickly summon a bunch of items that you can then pick up to restock her ninja tools.
It is interesting to see versions of characters who hadn't been fully fleshed out yet in the manga.
Ultimate ninja 5 is still my favorite Naruto game. I played that game a lot. Nobody on my street could ever beat me
This Is pretty cool I never knew this. I own All the storm games from the legacy collection as well as ultimate ninja 3 for my PS2.
Half of them were common, but the Anko one 😮
Its fun and games until someone keep spamming jutsu with Guy character on infinite chakra mode
I liked how some awakenings can be activated with a taunt in UN4. Kakashi's, Gaara's, etc. :)
Google translate kicked the watchability of this video through the roof.

Wow tentens ultimate in her awakening makes tenten actually look like she’d be op but in the anime she’s basically useless:-;
Crazy how that game gave a unique move set to her when she barely has any screen time 😅
That just goes to show that she can be powerful if Kishimoto cared about her. But let's face the reality. When it comes to side characters, he just doesn't care (with few characters exception).
The ultimate ninja games were my childhood never got to play 5 tho
In clash of ninja 2 there was a separate version of Kakashi from the original called Kakashi (sharingan) which had the same ability the only change this game made was adding the ability to transform mud fight. Much like rock Lee in the aforementioned clash of ninja 2.
Kakashi after copying your jutsu: ¨Nothing personnel kid¨
Tobirama's scream always makes me laugh a lot 😂😂
3:59 i love gaara and deidara floating technique
Oh my god thank you so much. I remember my brother borrowed this game from his cousin and we played it a ton, could never remember the name and kinda just forgot specifically how it played so for a while now I just thought “I guess it was just storm 1”. But now I’ve finally found it.
Naruto Clash and Ultimate Ninja gave more love to TenTen and Anko, than the series it's self did. 😂 Let alone the storm games.
I didnt even know there was other naturo fighting games, this ones looks amazing!
I miss the old ultimate ninja games so much.
