How to Pick Naruto Video Games

Since the first Naruto video game was released in Japan in March 2003 there has been an explosive growth in the selection of Naruto video games for use with each of the major video game devices. However, as each game becomes available it is licensed for only a single device. Video games are a major part of the Naruto franchise and receive major publicity in Naruto websites and magazines.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Video game device that supports the game you pick

Pick Out Naruto Video Games

1. Check out the Naruto video game choices for the specific game platform you own or plan to own, from among PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable. Each of these platform support one or more games.
2. Exclude the Japanese versions of these games unless you are fluent in Japanese or are otherwise prepared for the challenge of playing a game in an unfamiliar language.
3. Read reviews, tips and advertising messages about the Naruto video games in Shonen Jump's "Naruto Collector" magazines.

Pick and Purchase the Right Naruto Video Game

4. Pick Naruto video games based on the characters available in each game, so that you can be assured of being able to play the characters that interest you most. For instance, in the PlayStation 2 game "Ultimate Ninja 2" you can play as Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Tsunade, or more than two dozen other characters.
5. Browse the Naruto Nintendo Games website if you own or plan to pick a Nintendo DS device to play Naruto video games (see Resources below).
6. Purchase your Naruto video game at a neighborhood store or from the Naruto store on Amazon.com (see Resources below).

Tips & Warnings

• If you own a Nintendo DS or Play Station 2 video game console you will have the widest choice of Naruto games available. The other devices are playing catch-up to license and develop Naruto games.
• Be careful to order your video game based on the device that you will use. Many stores and online sellers charge a re-stocking fee and/or return shipping charge before they will allow you to return merchandise that you have ordered incorrectly. If the packaging is no longer sealed, they may not accept your return at all.
