  • Hokage’s Room Members Get A BRAND New Chakra System!

    Apr 22, 2009

    It’s time for a great change! Hokage’s Room has been getting a bit of a make-over and now, members will be seeing a brand Chakra bar when they participate in the Shippuden Missions. Not only will you be earning major Ryo from these challenges that you can use to claim awesome prizes in the Rewards section, but there will now be leveling-up opportunities that affect your personal Chakra bar! What is this whole new Chakra thing about? Below is an explanation of what you will notice with your Ryo, what your new Chakra bar means, how it effects your claiming of prizes and more. As always, if you need to refer to this at a later time, please make sure to read through our FAQ’s.


    How do I earn "Chakra"?
    "Chakra" is earned by completing milestone activities. One bar of Chakra is earned by completing approximately 10 milestone activities. There are a total of four bars of Chakra.  Chakra is not tied to your Ninja level. Make sure to look for the Milestone detail in the NEW Shippuden Missions.

    How do I redeem my "Ryo" and “Chakra”?
    Once you've earned a sufficient amount of Ryo and Chakra, you can redeem them for prizes available in the Rewards. You can save them up to cash in for bigger prizes or use them all along the way to more quickly reap the benefits of your hard work here at Hokage's Room.

    Why can't I claim a prize?
    In order to claim a prize, you must have first earned enough Ryo and Chakra for that item (in addition to any other items in your basket). Some prizes have a limit on the number each member can claim. Rewards are only available to U.S. and Canadian residents.

    Why has there been a decrease to my Ryo?
    Because we have a new level system in place and new Ryo achievements for the new Shippuden Missions, everyone’s Ryo has decreased an equal percentage. This is to ensure that everyone, both long-time members and new ninja of the room have an equal opportunity to be a part of the new awards system.

    Use Your Ryo & Chakra
    This is where being a member of Hokage's Room pays off. Redeem your hard-earned ryo and Chakra for great prizes here in our online store. You can save them up to cash in for bigger prizes or use them all along the way to more quickly reap the benefits of your hard work.

    Let us know what Chakra you have right now in our latest Shippuden Mission… it’s also your first level-up challenge!

  • Check Out Reviews of Ultimate Ninja 4 from IGN & Gamezone!

    Apr 8, 2009

    Plenty of you have already been getting your hands on copies of Ultimate Ninja 4 and playing the game and have even begun to submit your reviews about it. In case you haven't read them yet, IGN and Gamezone have also formed their opinion on Ultimate Ninja 4... check out their reviews!

    Ultimate Ninja 4 is fun enough on its own, but Master Mode could have used a fair amount of refining and the Hero Mode feels unnecessary. The amount of unlockables in the game, however, is really amazing, as you can purchase figurines of every character, music tracks and even buy the Ultimate Jutsu cinematics to view outside of battle. (click HERE for entire review at IGN.com)

    IGN gave it an overall 7.0

    As far as the graphics are concerned, Ultimate Ninja 4 does look good on the PlayStation 2 but there is still room for improvement. Then again, I could just be spoiled by the PlayStation 3’s Ultimate Ninja Storm. Still, the character models look good and the visual effects are topnotch.

    Gamezone gave it an overall 7.5
