The new Naruto trailer is like a ninja 9/11

Or maybe a ninja Hiroshima (as a commenter on Japanator suggested)?

I don’t know, the guy doing the nuking was a terrorist of sorts, rather than an enemy army, so I’m still inclined to 9/11 analogy.

Anyway, here’s a new trailer out for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, and it’s super-dramatic, even featuring those quick cuts to black screens with the developer name in plain text. Of course, it’s all ruined by the narrator that comes on after that, but there’s gameplay footage in there, so it’s a net positive.

Oh, and Cyberconnect 2 are the people behind the equally over-the-top Asura’s Wrath. If you watch that trailer, then this, the pedigree becomes quite obvious. So, even if you hate Naruto, you should be thanking it for giving the devs valuable experience.
