The Hokage's Scroll
- NARUTO Representing The New Generation of Ninja
-
Gamespot has an article that details the basics of NARUTO for those who don't know (which they should!) about NARUTO and friends.
Perhaps the most interesting point that the article talks about is how NARUTO is so different than other ninja who come to mind when you think of that term:
"Naruto isn't like the mild-mannered Joe Musashi, the mature Ryu Hayabusa, or the schizophrenic Grey Fox, but whether you like it or not, he's quickly becoming one of the most important ninjas in video games. You can shun his spiky hair, whiskers, and all-caps way of speaking if you want, but you'll be missing out on great ninja action."
Can you think of any other ninja that is completely different than NARUTO? Do you have any other favorite ninja? NARUTO is definitely one of our favorites and is not one to be missed but who else do you think is a noteworthy ninja?
Let us know!
The whole Gamespot article can be found HERE.

I can think of one... But he doesn't have a name...
Ask A Ninja. *Warning to those of you who aren't familiar with it, it does have some explicit language from time to time (not all that much usually).

I saw the video and he is quite right. Who would win a fight between Naruto and Harry, he said he don't know, but in games Naruto hands down. No doubt about it, Naruto shelves are really clean these days.

What about the Teenage mutant ninja turtles? I mean who expected big green turtles that eat pizza and talk with lots of slang (cowabunga) to be Ninja?

DBFS on October 22, 2007 at 03:11:35 PM
@amigopdude22
Ryu Hayabusa is from Ninja Gaiden series. Joe Musashi a.k.a. Shinobi is from the Shinobi series. Grey Fox is from Metal Gear Solid and the remake Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.
Joe Dodson is right, the XBOX game is going to be really really good.

ryu-On a dark, late night in New York City, Ryu is chased and attacked by assassins. After disposing of them, he finds an I.D. card for the Friedman Company. The next day, it is announced that Dr. Ned Friedman has discovered a cure for cancer. But after providing no information at his press conference, a reporter named Sarah decides to investigate with the help of her friends Robert and Jeff. When passing by Dr. Friedman's house one day, Ryu hears the voice of a young girl calling for help. When Sarah and her entourage investigate the house as well, they run into their colleague, Ryu. Upon that, they discover Dr. Friedman has been conducting experiments on live humans using biotechnology, and that it may have something to do with the power of the Evil Gods, whom Ryu had defeated in the past. But when Ryu's friend, Irene, is kidnapped, he must dawn his role as a Dragon Ninja once again to defeat this new enemy and save her.

Xiaolin Showdown is a great show kind like ninjas I love it is one of my favorites shows
In it there are 4 monks which are a dragon of a element, it is funny and a lot of action. It is pretty different than naruto on most things like they are not in a world of monks/ninjas. Also they use Shen Gong Wu which are great objects. I think most people would love it

Off of Afro Samuria...

Ninja-ninja, Afro Samurai's split personality. He's loud, and quie the weakling, chosing not to go into battle, but is always there after Afro takes care of the dirty work. He's extremely well developed for only being in 4 episodes, and definitely noteworthy.
