Naruto: Rise of a Ninja to include Japanese dub

•

Kotaku are reporting that Ubisoft’s much anticipated XBox 360 video game “Naruto: Rise of a Ninja” will be released (outside of Japan) with both English and Japanese language dubs – hence, both tracks will be starring voices from the extremely popular Naruto anime.

“Naruto: Rise of a Ninja” is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated manga-to-video-game adaptations ever – all the press coming from the games industry appears to suggest that Ubisoft (it’s rare that a French/North American games developer has been allowed to work on a Japanese franchise as popular as Naruto) have managed to capture the magic of the original material and no doubt, this latest move will have fans desperate to take a proper look at the game.

It’s non-stop manga adaptation episodes, with … Continued

“Those of us who are geeks, OK, real geeks, who earned our geekhood at school through sweat and loneliness and wedgies will no long stand idly by and watch our geekly identity taken from us be people who think geekhood is nothing more than wearing cute glasses and an asymmetric fringe – particularly not when … Continued

Naruto Shippuden – Box Set 27 Review

Naruto Shippuden presses onwards in the 27th two-disc “box set”, featuring episodes 336 – 348. As with any kind of long-running series, you get some chunks of episodes that are mostly wasteful filler, then sometimes you get a batch of episodes that move the main plot along and are generally really good, and thankfully that’s … Continued
