The Latin American box art is also reversible and features Christie Montiero and new fighter to the Tekken arena, Jaycee.
The original Tekken tag fighter, Tekken Tag Tournament, was a game changing release for this franchise back in 1999. The tag team 3D fighting was frenzied and very entertaining.

An good 3d fighting/adventure game?

I am wondering why doesn’t Square Enix make a Final Fantasy 7 remake, why do you think they don’t? Also how come Namco Bandai does not release Tales of Symphonia on the PS2? They released it on the PS2 in Japan. But not North America. I assure you fans would buy that game on the PS2 because the PS2 version has more content. Why is There No Final Fantasy 7 (VII) Remake, and Why is Tales of Syphonia Not on the PS2 is North America?

Created by Masashi Kishimoto, NARUTO was first introduced in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in Japan in 1999 and quickly became that country’s most popular ninja manga targeting tweens and teens and has sold more than 85 million copies to-date. The manga series (rated ‘T’ for Teens) and animated counterpart (NARUTO rated ‘T’ for teens, and NARUTO Shippuden rated ‘T+’ for older teens), is one of VIZ Media’s most successful properties and has captivated millions of fans across North America, Europe and South America. NARUTO is a co-production of TV TOKYO, VIZ Media parent company Shueisha Inc., and Pierrot Co., Ltd.
In the NARUTO manga and animated series, Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja in training, wants to be the best ninja in the land. He’s done well so far, but Naruto knows he must train harder than ever and leaves his village for intense exercises that will push him to his limits. NARUTO Shippuden begins two and a half years later, when Naruto returns to find that everyone has been promoted up the ninja ranks—except him. Sakura’s a medic ninja, Gaara’s advanced to Kazekage, and Kakashi… well, he remains the same. But pride isn’t necessarily about becoming a ninja, especially when Naruto realizes that Sasuke never returned from his search for Orochimaru. Plus, the mysterious Akatsuki organization is still an ever-present danger. As Naruto finds out more about the Akatsuki’s goals, he realizes that nothing in his universe is as it seems. Naruto is finding that he’s older, but will he also prove wiser and stronger?
Earlier NARUTO Shippuden episodes are currently available for free at http://www.Naruto.com and through a variety of other web-based, video streaming outlets that have partnered with VIZ Media, including Joost and Hulu.

For my reasoning as to why this is a conflict, consider that every other Ultimate Ninja in North America before Generations, including Storm 2, had the English voice actors dub for the game, and had an additional Japanese audio option. I can’t think of any logical reasoning as to why Namco Bandai would stop this tradition, since the voice actors will already be dubbing for the animé, so they obviously exist, or they could just be hired like they were for Storm 2, and I highly doubt that Namco Bandai doesn’t want to “spoil” the surprise of who the English voice actors for new characters will be, since there were so many more “spoilers” in Storm 2 when that game had English audio. Besides, for the vast majority of the characters, it would just mean ripping the audio from Storm 2, with only a few new voices being added for Obito, the Raikage, the Mizukage, the Tsuchikage, Danzo, and their support characters. Also, I know for a fact that Namco Bandai is ripping the audio from previous Storm games for Generations, because they already ripped fighting stages and character models from the previous two games, as well as created new ones to add variety to the game. Plus, the battle music for The Great Naruto Bridge stage in Generations is music that played in Storm 2′s story mode when Sasuke was fighting Itachi. If they’re ripping music already, why not rip voices? It only makes sense.
However, even in the American advertisements, I haven’t seen ANY hinting towards English audio whatsoever. This may not mean anything, since the North American advertisements are just copies of the European advertisements with the ESRB rating information instead of the PEGI information, but I would expect that for at least ONE advertisement Namco Bandai would have English audio incorporated into their promotional trailers, especially with the game being so close.
My uncertainty is further heightened because there hasn’t been an American demo for Generations yet. There is a Japanese demo, which already confirms Japanese voices (really Sherlock?), so you would think that the North American demos would have English voices, but no demo exists. Any English demos seen thus far are European demos, specifically designed for European game shows, which will already have no English audio in the final game, since Europe has never had English audio for their Naruto games. So it isn’t fair to make a final decision based on the European version of the game.
And to those of you asking, “why does it matter whether or not there is English audio in the game?”, well, it’s because I prefer the English audio. I enjoy hearing what these characters will sound like when they’re dubbed, and is what made Storm 2 so cool for me. Yes, I know the Japanese audio is more natural, and I agree with that statement when it comes to the animé. But for a fighting game, when nobody will really see any problems with lip-synching due to the attention being on the action, I think the voices are irrelevant in terms of that type of quality, and would really like the ViZ Media voice actors to do the dubbing for this game.
So, long story short, is there any hope for, or any ideas about, English voices being in this game?
Do know a good 3D fighting game with mages warriors , etc.?
Namco Bandai made a game called: Naruto shippuden ultimate ninja storm 2
* it has dazzling graphics and stunning game-play link below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pLwdPUAUi0
Every bleach game that they made is only in japan and you have to mod your system to get access to it.
so this time they decide to let be released on ps3 and the graphic are horrible link below
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv5pekI647s
so what i (and about every person that loves bleach ) want is to change the game-play of this game because if it gets release like this with ps2 graphics and repetitive button-smashing
no one will buy it even if it’s release in america for the first time
I’m making a 3d fighting game, and I’m hoping if someone wants to help with creating some characters.
Best 3D game
I used to play this 3D tank game on the old school computers where you could play against everyone else in the lab. You could pick what you looked like(ie bender from futurama who shot beer bottles) Anyone know what this is called?
Other than Tekken, is there any other 3D fighting game which features a playable bear? If so, name the game please.
And when I say fighting game, I mean a game about nothing but fighting. Just because you can be a bear or animal doesn’t mean it’s a fighting game. I’m talking about soul calibur, tekken, and other types of 3D fighters.
I remember i played a 3D fighting game on the PC in the late 90s but I cannot remember its name. It was the first ever 3D fighting game for the PC and it isn’t tekken or virtua fighter.
i am really wondering about a good fighting game to get 3d or 2d dosnt matter anything you can also recommend fighting rpgs that would be even better
I WANT TO MAKE A 3D FIGHTING GAME LIKE STREET FIGHTER 4 AND MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 IN THAT STYLE…. SO IS THERE AN EASY PROGRAM THAT PRE CODES THINGS LIKE THAT…
I HAVE A POWERFUL PC AND IM AN ARTIST SO CHARACTER MODELING AND LEVEL DESIGN AREN’T AN ISSUE JUST PUTTING ALL TOGETHER AND MAKING A GAME…
SO PLEASE IS THERE A PROGRAM THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO MAKE A 3D MUGEN IN STREET FIGHTER 4 STYLE??????????
please!!! i cant remember who this one character is! its from an Old 3D fighting game so its not: DarkStalkers, King of Fighter, or Guilty Gear. She kicked as well as wailed on people with her violin (possibly a fiddle). i THINK she had silver/platinum hair with big curls and a blue victorian era dress. Since she had a weapon i dont believe she was from the Tekken or Dead or Alive series either. Ancient Gamers i call upon you! help out your fellow brother in ridding himself of this Headache! WHO IS SHE?!
IT SHOULD RUN ON MY PC
I CAN USE EMULATOR!
