Hokage's Room has added a NEW Akatsuki Rising section in the forums for you to talk about the release before the big day hits this Fall!
See what all the talk is about over HERE and make sure to post your thoughts!
We hope everyone has a safe and ninja-tastic weekend!
Comic Cons are getting bigger and better each year and when you talk about these conventions, you can bet that the San Diego Comic Con is the mecca of them all. This year the con promises to deliver more bite than previous years really exciting news already coming out.
Any fun news and/or events you're looking forward to from the SDCC '09? What exciting tid-bits have you already read or heard about? Hokage's Room will definitely be keeping you up to date with any news that comes out of this year's big event about the upcoming Akatsuki Rising.
If you're going, make sure to check out the NAMCO BANDAI Games booth (#5037) to test out the Akatsuki Rising demo and grab a limited edition pin (there will be about 1,000 per day so get yours before they run out)!
Let us know if you're going and make sure to share your reviews and footage in the Shippuden Missions!
EDIT: Enter THIS Shippuden Mission to let us know you're one of the lucky few to snag a pin!
Long-time members of Hokage's Room are no strangers to the
rich history of NARUTO games from NAMCO BANDAI Games, and fans have gathered
here for years to share their love for the famed orange suited ninja.
Hokage's Room has just further expanded this fandom with its new Games section.
If you've already amassed a collection of NARUTO games from
Uzumaki Chronicles to NARUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM, or even if you own just one,
you can now add them to your personal Collection on Hokage's Room . These new
pages let you write full reviews for the games, rate the games, join specific
discussions, and see which other members own the same game titles as you!
This is just the beginning of some exciting Hokage's Room
changes to come and we want you to be a part of it all. We're very excited to
offer this new feature and wanted to celebrate by giving away some neat Naruto
swag to a random lucky member who is just as excited as we are. Up for
the challenge?
Check out the Send a Link section and you'll see that we've
updated it to include the Game Page section. From now until August 17th,
we are looking for members who will be using their personal links for the Game
pages (found in the "Send a Link" section) and those who write a review for one
of the games you have in your collection. We are looking for some honest, well
thought out reviews so make sure to include character descriptions, game play,
graphics, and any other highlights that stood out or points that you thought
could have been better. We want your real opinions!
Make sure to check out our latest Shippuden Mission to let
us know that you've added your NARUTO collection!
We're all craving to see more from NARUTO Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising and we're happy to let you know that we've added a few more screenshots to the galleries! New screenshots are courtesy of The-Magic-Box.com.
Go check them out and let us know what you think!
In the Shippuden series, the story arc continues two and half years later after Naruto has traveled with and gone through rigorous training with Jiraiya. Many of the most hardcore Naruto fans around the internet found this to be a nice change since the story arc and timeline evolved and the characters go through significant changes in terms of physically aging and becoming more mature (at least they're supposed to be).
The new NAMCO BANDAI Games releases for Naruto have also been following this progression with the latest release of Ultimate Ninja 4: NARUTO Shippuden on the PS2 and the upcoming NARUTO Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising coming out for the handheld PSP this Fall 2009. Many of you have already been sharing you love for the Ultimate Ninja series and have been submitting photos of your entire Ultimate Ninja series collection for the PS2 and can probably lend your insight to these questions, how well do you think the story arc translated to the PS2 console? Were you already a fan of the anime and manga? What's your comparison from the Shippuden gameplay to the first three games in the series?
With the upcoming NARUTO Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising coming out for the PSP, do you think it will have a similiar translation as it did for the PS2? If you're already a fan of the Ultimate Ninja Heroes series, check out the latest Shippuden Mission to share you collections with us and earn 8,000 ryo!
July 4th is just around the corner and for some of us, that means we'll be celebrating the weekend with amazing fireworks and perhaps firing up the grill for some BBQ.
Summer is in full swing and Hokage's Room kicked off right last month with a "Race to 30K" challenge for its members. Although we are just shy of making our goal of having 30,000 ninja in the room with us by the end of June, we know that you were working hard to reach it. We definitely appreciate all that each and every single ninja does to help spread the good word about Hokage's Room and it doesn't go unrecognized. We will still be rewarding the bonus ryo to members who helped (and continue to help) bring us closer to that 30K goal. We're just happy to have you all here with us and hope that everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July weekend! Share your plans with us!
