Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 sales reach 5.8 million
- Thread starter MysticGon
- Start date
What the heck? Doesn't this make it the 4th highest selling fighting game of this gen after Smash Ultimate and MKX/XI?
Booooo. Don't like Boruto, but Naruto is quite entertaining of a franchise overall.
It was really good for a good part, then it was pretty good, and then went it stopped being good it got really bad really fast. The final arc is an abomination that also retroactively made some past arcs worse.
And I say it as someone that who Naruto for a good 10 years of his life.
We can definitely agree on it going down in terms of quality the further the series went on, yeah.
Ninja storm distills the best things about Naruto, the characters and fights and its flashyness.
I didn't like Shippuuden that much and the end was a boring slog but I still really enjoyed the last couple Ninja Storm games.
I kinda want to get it, the show itself is stupid, but the characters and flashy ninja moves are amazing.
In fact, maybe the games are the best way to experience the story.

I don't know about the anime but the manga stopped being good a bit before the shippuden part started and never stopped getting worse after each arc.
Crazy numbers. I don't know how good these games are, but they at least do have a lot of content right?
I disagree,, are there faults? slow moments? bad moments? Yes, but in its totality, and in my opinion, its awesome overall
PS: I have read the manga in its entirety
And I have watched the show (part 1 and shippuden) twice. Once as I was growing up, and just recently, as I got married and rewatched the whole thing with my wife. So its fresh on my mind, and yeah the show kicks ass

Tekken 7 is over 5 and this time last year Dragon Ball FighterZ was over 4 so they both might be floating around this number.
Not sure about the manga, but the games were better than the anime.
To those saying that the anime/manga's last arcs and endings suck:
What were you really expecting to happen?
I personally did not expect it to go that way but it was ok, sure a bit less quality than some of the awesome initial arcs, the Chunin exam, Pain etc, but terrible? Not at al. So what were the people hating it expecting?
Also, has any anime/manga ended the way people wanted? Can't recall any. Naruto is among the good ones that didn't end abruptly.

The storm games somehow managed to make terrible story lines in the manga/anime actually seem pretty decent and hype, so they deserve to sell that well.
Well deserved. The Boruto DLC in particular is the best content in the series, in my opinion.
Can't wait for their next title in the same formula. Kakarot didn't really grab me.

Can't mention Naruto on this forum without posts like this. Always gotta be someone.
it is 2020 (the series ended 5 years ago) and people still post stuff like that like it's a hot take. Let it go already.
I really liked the second one but didn't like it when they moved away from having an open-ish world to just story segments. Still fun games though.
Liked that Kakarot game CC2 made too.

Hey, I will not tolerate any shit thrown at the First Part, that was some of the very best.
Shippuden tho, I will close my eyes if you want to beat that loser.
The Storm franchise had sold over 12 million copies BEFORE Storm 4's release.

It's also a game with amazing spectacle, great graphics, and full of characters that tons of people love. Many aspects of the game are even better than the anime or manga because of how awesome CC2's production and cutscenes are.
Era lives in this bubble where they think Naruto isn't popular and everybody hates it or something. I don't get it, lol.
"Pretty good" is an understatement. This makes it like top two best selling anime video games.
It was up on CyberConnect2's livestream this morning.
Pretty good milestone before the Switch version comes out in April.
Between that and Kakarot's recent 2 million they are on a roll.
That's nuts, which begs the question, why aren't Naruto games more regular? It's not Dragon Ball levels of popularity but it's definitely up there or the equivalent for a lot folks that didn't grow up with DBZ on television like a lot of us did. We haven't anything new since 2018.
I think its been for the best, they were on near yearly releases with the storm games, good to let content build. better to build hype and make it a bigger deal when it drops.
I'd kill for the days of when we had 3 different publishers all putting out exclusive naruto games.
Only reason I play these games are for the cinematics. They look amazing. While the games are super shallow, their still dumb fun for me. Almost like musou games.
