Ah, good ol' Clash of Ninja... One of the first Naruto game franchises, and one of the most long running. Having started back on the Gamecube, the franchise has had multiple entries, eventually going on to the Wii as Clash of Ninja: Revolution. You see, the first Revolution game is a huge part of what made me the Naruto fan I am today. It's the only game in the series I've played, but I really loved it. Moving on, the third entry is the most recent. However, it ends off in the middle of the first arc of Shippuden, and has yet to be continued... Some might argue that "Gekitou Ninja Taisen Special" (Gekitou Ninja Taisen is the Japanese name for the series) could be counted as the fourth, but I see it as more of a Full Burst-esque re-release of the third Revolution game, and it was never even released outside Japan.

 

So, why am I telling you guys about this series of games? I mean, when most people talk Naruto, it's the Storm games. However, I'd really like the see the series continue on a Nintendo system. So, I present my idea to you all: Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 4, exclusively on the Nintendo Wii U! I believe that a CoNR4 on the Wii U could be a success, and I'd certainly buy it ASAP. So, let's get on to my ideas, shall we?

 

The storyline: As I said before, the previous CoNR game cut off right in the middle of the Rescuing Gaara arc of Shippuden, which was the very first arc. So, what should they do for this one? Well, let's just say they've got a LOT of catching up to do. I'd like to see this game cover the entire Shippuden series, from the beginning of the first arc, to the Fourth Great Ninja War arc where UNS3FB ends off, maybe even further than that. Given the power of the Wii U system, they could easily make it a longer game than the past entries. Heck, if they could somehow squeeze in the original Naruto series too, that'd be fantastic! If not, if they're able to, maybe some filler arcs like the ones with Sora and Guren would be cool to see, as well as missions based off of the movies, namely Road to Ninja.

 

CoNR follows a mission based story mode, so they could easily fit the series into a series of missions. However, something like the free-roam in the Ultimate Ninja series would be a welcomed feature, too. However, if all we can get is standard mission mode, I won't complain.

 

Gameplay would obviously be similar to the past entries in the Revolution series, a 2.5D environment, weak and strong attacks to link into combos, and ultimate jutsu which would change depending on the circumstances. The ultimate jutsu could be enhanced with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck like in the past entries, or gamepad maneuvers on the touch screen. The only real way I can think of to improve the system would be to increase the amount of health characters have, since matches in previous entries could be really short at times, even on low damage settings and high difficulties. Also, the four-player combat would have to make a return. They were a staple of the CoNR games, it wouldn't make sense to leave them out. Add in some minigames, survival mode, and time attack mode, and you've got a solid fighter with plenty of content. Now then, next comes the real meat of the game: The playable characters. 

Once again, being a Wii U game, there could easily be space for a large amount of characters. I'll list off my ideas below (I'll put it in spoilers so that people who aren't interested won't have to scroll through a potentially long list, and because some characters might spoil the storyline.)

Well, that's really it for this idea. I might get some criticism for my last character choice... But hey, it'd be really cool to see. Anyway, feel free to give your thoughts on my ideas!

I love the Clash of the Ninja series too ^_^

 

And I would be really happy if they made a sequel for it on the Wii U

nothing can surpass storm 2. nothing.

I never said Revolution was better than Storm, but it was a great fighter series, and Storm's been overshadowing pretty much every other Naruto games in existence. We haven't gotten a Nintendo home console Naruto fighter since CoNR3 was released years ago. Nintendo Naruto fans deserve games, too. They could at least port Storm games to the Wii U.

storm 2 ultimate

Why does everyone want kushina, what the fuq would her move set be for pete's sake!?

Anyway I would love for them to make a CoNR4, the only thing I really want is the art design look similar to previous CoN Games... Other than that, I would love a Rise of Ninja 3 for XOne(and maybe PS4) or Impact 2 for Vita.

Because Kushina's awesome, enough said. Also, they could find some move set for her. It could use her Nine Tails powers from before she died, and they could give her custom moves around that. I mean, Sakura had a custom moveset in the first UN game.

Not bad for mechanics, and characters...eh debatable but they seem to be doable.

I'm not even gonna question why you put that down.

There's really no reason for her to be playable imo, waste of character slot sorry. Though it would be interesting but still...

Mechanics are mostly the same as the other games in the series. As for characters, I would've liked to make them more diverse since they're pretty much the same as Storm 3's, with two new characters, but it's all the major ones, and I don't know how many the Wii U could take.
