As expected, we have received our batch of Tomy's cel-shaded fighting sequel Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 2 for Gamecube™ today - 1 day prior official release date - and have processed every single preorder. Everyone who has purchased this item from us (apart from pending orders from the last couple of hours) can expect a shipping notification e-mail shortly.


Further good news for everyone as we were lucky enough to receive sufficient quantities of Tomy's Naruto giveaway, a Naruto branded bag. Every customer with a shipping notification today can expect the free gift to be included in the parcel. For new purchases (starting to ship from tomorrow), we will still be able to drop in a few pieces into selected orders, however quantities left remain a few dozens only and we expect them to be gone by tomorrow.




Heading over to the game itself, we have taken the time to play a few test fights and came to very positive results. The game plays very similar compared to the first part, especially in single player mode. To reduce your waiting time for the game, we have also compiled 3 videos of the game. Available for download are:

Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 2 Into [8.24MB]

In game fight: Naruto vs. Naruto [6.60MB]

In game fight: Gaara vs. Sakura [5.43MB]

(for all videos we recommend to click on the right mouse button and download the video to your harddisk before playback for better results).
