Naruto Fights Stateside
The Narutimate Hero gets a North American welcome next year.
by David Adams

October 10, 2005 - Bandai announced today it will bring Naruto: Narutimate Hero to North America early in 2006, giving English-speaking gamers a taste of the ninja fighting action previously available only in Japan.

Developed for the PlayStation 2 by .hack studio CyberConnect2, Naruto puts players in the world of Masashi Kishimoto's popular manga and anime series. The game offers 14 playable characters, a variety of moves and combos, four game modes, and plenty of collectible items.

"The Naruto series has proven to be wildly popular in Japan, inspiring over 28 volumes of graphic novels and 113 episodes of the anime," said Naruo Uchida, Vice President of Bandai Games Inc. "Gauging from American fan requests, websites, and cosplayers dedicated to the series, we are confident that an enthusiastic reception awaits Naruto: Narutimate Hero in the United States."

Ok maybe a little bit.

How many games are there that they released only in Japan and not in America? recently it looks like several games are going stateside, but why not all? I'm sure we'd have a very larger variety of games to play if they all came to America.
