The Naruto craze continues with Tomy's
Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3. The second game introduced four player support, which made
Naruto 2 not only one of the best fighters on the Gamecube™, but also a party game. This time around you'll be able to maneuver a full team of three ninjas for 3 on 3 combat. Three on three battles will allow players to use an all new team super move.
Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3 features at least 25 playable characters. Returning characters include: Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Sakura, Garra, Iruka, Zabuza, Haku, Shikamaru, Kiba, Ino, Hinata, Neji and Lee. New characters include: Shino, Ten-Ten, Jiraya, Tsunade, The Third Hokage, and Tsunade. Another change to the fighting system is that characters with "transformations" can do them during battle. This means you can switch from Kakashi to Sharingan Kakashi or from Garra to transformed Garra without having to switch characters. Tomy has also added two super moves per character to change the gameplay.
This game is something for fighting fans and Naruto fans to get excited about!
We've been hitting the record this year as Naruto 3 has kicked Konami's
Winning Eleven 8 from the throne (considering the amount of preorders shipping out). Sufficient supply has arrived today and every single preorder is expected to ship out during this day. New orders are welcome to ship within 24 hours at US$ 59.90 only.
Freeloader compatibility
We have tested Naruto 3 extensively and are happy to announce that the game is working fine with Datel's
Freeloader device. So everyone still considering to import the game who does not own a Japanese Gamecube™ machine can be rest assured to purchase our Naruto 3 + Freeloader combo, available at US$ 75.80 only.
Tomy official preorder gift & Play-Asia preorder giveaway
Customers frequently checking out import news sites may have taken notice about Tomy's
Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3 preorder gift, which is given away in Japan. Last year we've been able to include the
Naruto Pouch with most of our
Naruto 2 preorders and this time we were able to get a limited batch of the Naruto 3 preorder gift as well - a Naruto wristband showing a Konohana leaf.
Our allocations for this year's preorder gift was roughly 2:1 (1 gift per 2 games), which means that
about 50 percent of all orders will include the wristband as gift free of charge. The giveaway has been made on a fair first come, first served basis. The earlier you have preordered, the higher the chance for the gift.
Next to Tomy's official preorder gift, we have been running a second gift promotion at Play-Asia.com. All customers who have picked up the game early enough will receive either a
Naruto Full Color R Collection Gashapon or a
Naruto: Narutimett Hero 2 Gashapon (picked randomly). A last minute substituation had to be made for a number of orders to avoid shipping delays. We kindly apologize for any inconvenience caused.
