Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution is one installment of the Clash of Ninja series that actually made it to the Wii. Based on the popular manga and anime series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto, the game is set to be released in North America in 2007, including new characters in the Clash of Ninja game series. Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution will follow the storyline of the television series.

Previously known:

- several characters that appeared in previous Clash of Ninja games, along with 14 new characters; - nine different gameplay modes including Story Mode, Single Player and Multiplayer mode; - interactive environments; - the game will be using the same mini-games found in Naruto Shipp?den: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX, - but will be adjusted to fit with the current English dub releases as to not spoil anything.

Confirmed characters are: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Shikamaru Nara, Gaara and Rock Lee. Today, courtesy of Nintendo, we have a brand new fact sheet on Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution, set to be released this fall on the Wii, in the form of key features:

? 14+ available characters ? Among the available characters will be the original ones such as Naruto, Sasuke or Sakura, but other characters will include some never seen before in the Clash of Ninja series. Plus, the characters will have all new animations for the Wii!

? Battle it out in one of six stages ? Each of the six stages will have two distinct combat zones that allow players to beat their opponent in one stage and then continue to pile on the punches as they transition to the next combat zone.

? Exclusive content for North America ? This game will include all new game effects, new interactive environments and all new special attack animations which will deliver exclusive content for North America.

? Various game modes - Game modes include: story mode, score attack, timed attack, survival, 2P Versus, 2P Score Attack, 2P Survival and 1-4 Multiplayer Versus.

? Three special mini-games created especially for the Wii Remote ? Shuriken Throw, Rasengan Training and Shadow Clone Trick.

While the game is still in development (not even rated yet), the list of key features proves that the Wii is getting one heck of an action title this autumn, so prepare an extra charger for those Wiimotes, or get a big supply of AA batteries... You're gonna need them.
