What do you like more? Ultimate Ninja (including the Storm games) or Clash of Ninja?
Storm please!!
let's freaking gooooooo. Pleas cover the japan one. gekitou ninja teisen series( i wrote this before watching the video). Dam i asked for this in discord from maybe 3 months ago, the other one like jake probably gonna have things they asked for way later
Also, there's a mod called super clash of ninja 4. Has english, redesigned movelist, It's has tournament at combo breaker
Con no question
Ultimate ninja series for me. I hope the next games you cover are Rise of ninja and Broken Bond for the 360
watching pre-timeskip gaara whip out taijutsu feels more cursed than i imagined
Omg that’s why my brain was like “wtf is this? WHY ARE YOU WATCHING THIS???” It felt the cursed energy before me.
My favorite episode was when Gaara unlocked his 14th gate and used Ultra Instinct Kaioken on Dio
@@Niosai That arc proved that Cory really was In The House.
@hi hi and don't forget playing as grumpy cat. He's got such a small hitbox.
@@kollie79 fair enough
The 4-player mode is what definitely made Clash of Ninja stand out. I miss this series 😢
I would also mention that, the buffs unlockables from the shop in Clash of Ninja 2 and later on aren’t really buffs for the story mode or other modes, but rather handicap equips you can use in the multiplayer and Versus mode if you wished to. Like if you wanted the chakra to be unlimited for both characters, just equip and go ham with it for a match or two. Just wanted to point it out!
Clash of Ninja Revolution has a special place in my heart for being my first Naruto game ever, followed by the Ninja Council series (I really loved those games). I feel nostalgic right now 😁
Nice yeah Rev 1 was fun for me too back in the 6th grade haha✌🏽
it was my first as well! i went to gamestop and was 5 dollars for the wii so i used my junk food money to buy it. 0 regrets, got 2 a couple days later. Had to 100% the first one and traded it for 2
there is literally no series i would want to come back as bad as this one. I still play clash 4 and rev3 with friends. The storm series just isn't that fun compared to these games and i have played them both a ton. I think just not a lot of people saw them considering they were only on GC and Wii. I think the switch at least would have more players.
After seeing the new Storm disappoint a lot of people, there's definitely no better time for Clash of Ninja to make a comeback than now in my opinion. The developer Eighting is still around, too!
I tweeted them in japanese because im desperate lol we should all gather and make some noise about it. We deserve a better naruto game @@Niosai
@@BijuuMike I found the Tweet, I wish I'd thought of doing that 😂
Clearly there's interest!
It should also be said that namco bandai has stated that if there is enough interest, they will bring the series back. The thing is though, there needs to be at least a couple of big naruto game youtubers that are on friendly terms with namco supporting it as well. that will prove that it is financially viable to bring the series back
You and I have the same experience when it comes to Clash 2.
It was the first ever Naruto game I played and it peaked my interest in the series. I always say it was the Abridged series that did that, but I think this game helped some as well.
Clash 2 was also my introduction to this series. I grew up with this one!
Didn’t know Boruto existed back then… Wait, Boruto isn’t an abridged series and is actually canon? Well shit.
Haven’t even watched the video yet but thank you for making this, the CoN/GNT Series of games are my absolute favorite game representations of Naruto (GNT 4 being my favorite game of all time), and I hope more people see how cool the series is thanks to this video. Hope it comes back one day :(
Foreal beat it last summer man it was so much fun got all the characters in Clash 1-2 and Rev 2-3
Not a very accurate video though
(I’ve played and owned all of them personally) he glosses over MANY things and over simplifies aspects..
Those boss fights tho got damn, Deidara took me 45 mins to beat such a drag, Kagura was also very tough too..
@@NNN-ps8ry yeah a lot of fights were rigged af dude the Asuma fight in Rev 2, Kagura boss fight in Rev 2 the mirror Guy fight in Rev 3 and Deidara the final boss in Rev 3 is the fuckin worst boss fight I’ve ever had to do..
Love brother been on this series since the OG in 2002
unsure if anyones mentioned it but 4 is fairly popular to the point where it has tournaments mostly online through dolphin you should see some fo the crazy stuff you can do. there was also a fanmade patch that fixed some balancing issues and bugs :3 highly worth lookin into
Clash of Ninja 2 was such a classic
You forgot to mention that GNT4 has a lot of improvements compared to the rest of the games. It introduced Y-Canceling in which you press the Y button to cancel your combos. It uses 1/4 of your chakra gauge and its very useful for strings. The gameplay feels snappier as you can do dashing dodges, allowing more mobility options. Substitution’s also much better instead of each shoulder button performing the same one. Left shoulder button allows you to simply teleport without an automatic counterattack to set up an offence or maintain neutral.
Some characters can easily crush guard meter and some can’t. Everyone has their own value.
This is a pretty good video, I've always thought about making a video on the entire series because I played it to death since I was a kid. I just never really had the means. I do wanna add a few things you missed though.
-Characters have had multiple specials/transformations since Clash of Ninja 2 they just separated most of them for some reason. Rock Lee can open some of the eight gates and use the Hidden Lotus. Sharingan Sasuke also has a phoenix flower jutsu special for his secondary which can be used while jumping for 75% chakra.
-4 player free for all/2v2 / 1v3 modes have been in the game since 2. I just believe the former only appears in the multi player mode as there aren't any free for alls in the story mode.
-GNT3 introduces everyone having a secondary special of some kind (idk if joke characters like Crow and Akamaru do) most are done by pressing down + x
-GNT3 is the only game that actually have desperation specials. For example Naruto can only do Rasengan in red health.
-GNT 4 removes this in favor of just having more powerful special moves like Rasengan be harder to combo with a longer startup.
-In GNT 4 when you said some characters will randomly appear in your special, you were just accidentally doing a team attack. Team attacks can be done by pressing forward + x and use up all 3 chakra bars. They do a don of damage, some of the characters have team specific specials. like Team 7, the Sannin, Team Sharingan with Itachi, Sasuke, Kakashi, ect.
-GNT 4 also adds multiple new perspectives for special moves, Naruto's Uzumaki barrage has 3 variations that all look completely different.
-In GNT 4 you can switch out for 25%, but escaping from a combo takes a substitutions worth of chakra.
-Waggle in Revolution just adds damage.
-I'm sure you'll cover it, but all the added stuff in Revolution, like stage transitions and obstacles are just things that were in the EX games as this is just a PTS game running on the EX engine. This is why 3v3 modes was removed, they were never in EX they had a 2v2 mode which is in Rev2.
I know it's a lot and I'm being nit picky but I thought those were worth mentioning.
Wow you know your stuff
From GNT4 onwards they added a mechanic where you can cancel a move for 25% chakra in which your character will flash and you can extend your combo further akin to a roman cancel in Guilty Gear
So glad your covering these! I love this series, i own revolution 3 played it for years I'd like to play the other titles eventually, great video!
One of the greats 👍thanks for sharing I can only imagine how long this kind of stuff really takes which makes you appreciate the content even more.
That stage transition from clash of ninja and the wall fighting from ultimate ninja should have been consistently added to the storm games making the fights more real
Was waiting for this one! Thank you!
Thanks! I'm so happy to see this, what an amazing work
Apparently, I missed this video's notification! So cool to see it, and I'm so glad to see how much your channel has taken off!
Awesome. Plus, you even acknowledged Revolution games on the Wii!
This series is the shit! Needed this working on a Saturday morning 💯👏🏽
Yeah this and BT3 🤙🏽
GNT4 has a lot more than it was it seems like, you forgot to mention the mission mode that make it possible to unlock tons of characters and stages, as far as I'm aware it's one of the favorites from competitors because of the Y cancel technique included that allows to spend 1/4 of your chakra to cancel the attack animation during a combo and string another attack quickly.
I have bad news for you. The clash of ninja games have DS counterparts in form of the Naruto Ninja Destiny games... Have fun (I realy liked those as a child)
I have actually played a couple of those and while they are similar in presentation to Clash of Ninja, I think I'd consider them as their own series to cover sometime. :)
@@Niosai I felt like they were missing too.
They absolutely feel like a part of the franchise.
@@DadGhostal I've actually made a video covering these since on my channel!
Revoluton for the Wii was my childhood. The Wii was the only console I had growing up so I logged tons of hours into it.
Loved these games, still play them today!
4 player battles with custom teams were there since clash of ninja 2.
In Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3 all characters were given a second ultimate that would be used when their health bar was in the red, in Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 they could be performed at any time by holding down and the ultimate button, because they are stronger than the regular ultimates and now can be done at any time they were made harder to connect by taking longer to hit the opponent.
Actually the ultimate isnt hard to pull off at all spud
i also think alot of the real-time down X supers debuted in gnt3
@@jonnycarter46 No it is not. But they _attempted_ to make it harder to hit
I came here to find someone making this comment lol. I grew up playing Clash of Ninja 2 as a child and still own a copy for my gamecube. I now mainly play Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 since I've got a freeloader and can order japanese games as an adult, but I knew for a fact that that was around in 2.
For the Shuriken throw, if I had to guess, it’s Rock Lee. He’s obviously a training junkie, docking points for hitting Sakura makes sense since he has a crush on her.
There was a gameplay feature added that I don’t think was mentioned in this video. This feature actually made the Clash of Ninja series some of my favorite fighting games of all time; Y Cancelling.
Added in Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3 (I think), Y Cancelling allows you to string together combos. If your character knocks the opponent into the air while you’re still on the ground, you can hit Y to reset your character back to idle, allowing you to immediately start another combo. This made characters like Naruto, Sasuke, Rock Lee, Asuma etc extremely fun to play as. With Asuma for example, I was able to string attack, attack, attack, cancel, attack, attack, attack, cancel again, jump, air grab, throw shuriken. It added a really cool layer of depth that took the series from being just a basic fighter to something truly demanding skill and a genuine smash bros competitor on the Wii.
YES, PLEEEEAASE try the Ninja Council games, they're god tier. Or at least they were to me when I first played them as a kid. I wish it had continued as a series all the way to the end of the story, it was awesome.
Great video as always
24:37 That’s because Revolution runs on EX’s engine. They had to remake the characters from scratch, alongside working on the EX series and their characters. It wasn’t a simple copy/paste job that fans, even to this day, still believe was all they would have to do. If that were the case, all characters and stages from CoN 1 onwards (possibly excluding the PTS versions of existing characters) would’ve at least been in GNT Special by that point.
The Ninja Destiny series kept all of their characters, PTS and TS, because they were all released on the DS.
Minato in GNT Special actually got most of his Ninja Destiny moveset.
Clash of Ninja was definitely one of the many games I had enjoyed throughout my childhood. So much that there was a whole tournament near where my relatives lived. They were using GNT4 and legit banned players using Itachi because he was considered to OP. I ended up playing as Kisame and for my first time playing him, since this is the GNT version, i was doing a good job and the store owner that hosted the tournament ended up calling me Kisame lol. I felt really happy for playing in the tournament, I didn't win but it definitely made me love Naruto even more.
I'll never forget one of my favorite moments was with Clash of Ninja 1. My best friend and I were playing at my ex wife's house on my kids Game Cube. We're on the last bit of health for the match I'm legit one Touch from death, I'm Kakashi and he's Rock Lee, my boy has full Super and the life lead. I start spamming Sharingan just to survive because it teleported you to the other side of the screen when attacked. What neither of us knew was that if you attacked with a Super, Kakashi would yell "SHARINGAN!" and light you up with a copy of your own Super!!! I still remember the "WHAT!!?" he let out till this day! 😂🤣
Thank you for reviewing this series, It means a lot that this series is getting love, I will say that you left out some mechanical features to GNT 3 and 4. Like combo Cancels, 3 v 3 team specials and more about switch in mechanics GNT 4, dual specials being granted to about every character by GNT 4, Critical Supers from GNT 3.
You said that mechanics are the same in every game, however it's these small things, even in game coding things like health percentages for every character, that makes the competitive Scene exist for 4 to this day, and I think deserves a bit more recognition for how I depth it was.
Again tho, this is great that these videos exist. I'm not a big fan of the storm games as it's more of flash and presentation. GNT is a real fighting game, the concern for cinematics was never that big because the series was more concerned about getting you back to the fight, as these games were based off of the Bloody Roar engine.
I love this series
I am always amazed how much work you put in your "I played every..." series. So many in depth details and you even dive in versions, that are not in English.
Can"t wait for the 2nd. episode. 👍🤘
Awesome video! Minor nitpick though. In GNT4, there’s a cancel mechanic (by tapping the “y” button) that allows you to extend combos by sacrificing a small percentage of chakra. This would be used a lot in competitive play of the game.
That's in all the games... It's just the grab button at certain intervals
@@stephvidaze4074 Cancelling did not exist until GekiNin 4.
really enjoyed your commentry bro
I appreciate it! :)
A new niosai video? Lets go! Keep coming out with the great content! God loves us and God Bless!
12:28 Btw, you can change Sakura hair if you press X when youre about to select it!
If i remember well, you hav to buy a stuff to do that 🦌
I didn't expect you to make this one, and i do NOT hate it at all, this is like a hot ramen at a rainy day
Clash of Ninja is definitely my favorite series of Naruto games
i love this video!, but i did realize you were talking about ultimate ninja VS the 1st game, but do remember Ultimate ninja didnt even exist at that time. aswell as characters i beleive started having secondary specials in Clash of Ninja 2, or atleast some had rage specials i'm not sure about actual seperate specials.
When this series got to the 4-player mode I remember playing it in tournaments at a video/figurine store in Center City Philadelphia. It was so much fun, whether you were playing or just watching, lol. Super nostalgic. 😊
Fun fact, in Clash of ninja 1, you can unlock Sharingan Kakashi and Kyubi Naruto by meeting certain requirements, it's been so long that I forgot and can't be bother looking it up, but I'm pretty sure it was reaching wave "x" with base Kakashi and Naruto in Survival mode.
This game was my first ever exposure to Naruto in 2006 before it ever aired on TV locally, making this quite a cherished game.
I will say, it seems a lot like Tekken and that diversity of gameplay would be great nowadays
Loved this series as a true fighting game for this IP. It wasn’t perfect but had a whole lotta charm. Always preferred this over Ultimate Ninja as a kid. Lots of memories playing free for all with my friends after school.
I really wish Clash of Ninja 3 and 4 had been released in North America.
I also wish we could get another installment in this series.
I agree, a new one or at least a port of the last Clash of Ninja / Gekitou Ninja Taisen on the Switch.
This video inspired me to get an emulator just to play this, especially since the games are similar to Ninja Destiny, a game I used to play
I love clash of ninja 2 for the GameCube. So great video series
I used to play 2 a lot and Lee in gates mode was sooooo cool. You would slowly take damage while in the mode but your ultimate ability would teleport you right next to the opponent so it was hard to miss
Niosai! I don't even know what the video is of I just saw you and trusted the process.
I just LOVE the Clash of Ninja series! It has much more depth than one might think. there is tec if you land reflect kunai /shuriken throw paper bombs, do hand signs for chakra increase and more pwer, chakra managment, grabs, rolls, get up attacks, special moves (2 for every char or more), doding. PLEASE MAKE A NEW ONE SOMEBODEY!!!!
I remember playing the second game when I was like 5, was also my only experience to the naruto series besides the og series’ ice ninja and mechanical knights movie(s).
With the only thing I can remember doing in game being the versus mode where I liked using the puppet because I thought it was cool.
interesting on the sense of scale
the hokage heads are hilariously small, close and lower than usual
but I like that they got everything in the shot lol
3:29 ok, Kakashi just went for a Rin moment on Naruto
When I get a laptop I’m gonna immediately download Gekitou ninja taisen 4 and ultimate ninja 5, both games I used to always want as a kid. I always envious of japan for having them and very confused as to why America didn’t
thanks for covering clash of ninja series revolution 1 2 and 3 were my child hood
In clash of ninja 2 you can battle with four players and customize the teams. That was when they added it.
funny enough, i was actually looking for this series
The main reason why I haven’t played Rev 1 again is because Rev 2 is the superior title and as you mentioned it has the least amount of characters for some odd reason..
the memories playing this on gamecube with my homies after school
Something I remember blowing my mind as a kid- in Clash of Ninja 1 (and onward through the series I think) Kakashi can use Sharingan to copy anyone’s special attack.
Definitely better than the Ninja Storm series which is just all style and no substance.
Eh they about even imo
Just finished the storm video to see this freshly uploaded
Clash of Ninja was my introduction to the Naruto series too! It's a bummer the series isn't coming out anymore. I got really good by the end, enough that I'd always win online except against the people that spammed that dumb handsigns mechanic they added for Wii remote only.
Awesome video, I just curious about the final choice at the end of GMT4's story mode, like does that choice effect anything?
Another thing is GNT 3 Covers more of the story with extra battles like Temari vs Tenten and Shino Vs kankuro & 3rd hokage vs orochimaru. 3 covers the chunin exam prelims along with the finals all the way to Tsunade arc while rev only covers the finals all the way to Tsunade arc
clash of ninja 2 was one of the few games i owned for my gamecube as well as being the first fighting game i owned
i remember not having a memory card so everytime i played the game, i tried to speedrun the game so i could get the points to unlock Akamaru in versus mode so i can play as the funny little dog
this game definitely holds a special place in my heart
God damn I never understood people not having a memory card growing up I always had one for my PS2 and GC🤦🏽♂️
gekitou ninja taisen 4 is also more fast like u said but Also combos are better cause of the trajectory times and distances characters get launched can't really explain its kinda difficult to do
Crazy how you didn’t mention Y canceling in GNT4. Literally the biggest change in the series adding so much more depth to the combos
I was working on a youtube video and while looking up some info on the japanese games i stumbled across this video and realized you did the exact same video i was making but better lol
Don't let that discourage you! Make your video!
I had GNT 3 and GNT4 had to use freeloader those games were sick
so in the settings of Naruto Clash of Ninja 2 there is a difficulty setting. Playing it rn and I don't know how me and my bro were able to beat that unless we also knew about the difficulty settings in the options. It helped A LOT turning down the difficulty down to 1 lol
Clash of ninja goes hard name another naruto game that u can play up to 4 players on the same screen 🔥
I remember importing a Japanese Wii back in the day just for the Gekito Ninja Taisen games
The 4 player multiplayer listed as a change for GNT3 was in Clash of Ninja 2.
FINALLY, LET'S GO!!!
GNT4 is crazy I love that game with a passion
JAPAN HAD SHIPUDEN GAMES IN 2007!??!??
I WOULDVE EXPLODED AT THE THOUGHT OF PLAYING THAT IN 2007! MY GOD!!!
Ayo, Shino? 21:32 😂😂😂
I've played and owned all US versions of Clash of Ninja and Revolution minus 1 for both (I started with CoN 2 and never bothered to get 1, though I have played a bit of it via a Gamestop kiosk) and enjoyed those. I'd say my main gripe is the smaller roster sizes in the US releases, especially for the later games as well as the change from a 3-man squad fight to a 2-man squad fight in Revolution 3. For example you can play as the Sound 5 in the Ultimate Ninja games but not in the ENG CoN games. Same with the Third Hokage.
Something I noticed is that for GNT3 Mizuki has his own character spot whereas in CoN2 you had to do a specific toggle while selecting Iruka to play as him, which also meant that you could only use his alternate costume in mirror matches. Aside from unique voice lines and special interactions with Naruto (saying "Come on Demon Fox!" during his special for one) he's basically identical to Iruka gameplay wise, at least in CoN2.
Always loved the clash of ninja series needs a comeback
I imported Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 2 while reading the manga in Shounen Jump. Didn't know half the characters but that game is one of the biggest things that made me a hardcore Naruto fan. I eventually imported 3 and 4 when they came out. Friends from all over the neighborhood would come over to play, great times!
I am suprised you didn't talk a little bit more about the rooster. I loved these games way more than Ultimate ninja because honestly those games felt like everybody was exactly the same. But I was so shocked that Kiba and Kanurou had helper characters they controlled, that was revolutionary for a fighting game for young me. The Hyuuga could do chakra damage. Shikamaru moved and attacked in such a lazy way yet was so fluid and smooth. Gaara had super unique blocking animation and burst attacks. Outside of Smash Bros I don't think I have ever played a fighting game where the character feel so different from each other. Modern fighting games feel so boring because I assume they are ultra fine-tuned to be balanced for competition but I don't play fighting games to compete I play to control really unique and different anime fighters.
Two things would forgot to mention that was added to GNT4 that the rest of the series would implement: Combo Cancels (aka Y cancels) and update to the KnJ system. At the cost 1 bar (out of 4) of chakra you can cancel your character's combo string and do another attack. As a quick example with Naruto you could do this combo: Down+BA, Y cancel, BBBB, BBX. For the KnJ system (from GNT4 onward) you can either KnJ and attack (the original KnJ the series had up to that point), or you can now KnJ but no attack. This change to the KnJ system would add some much need mind games you could do on your opponent.
I love the Gekitou Ninja Taisen series (as well as the Narutimate series). The multiplayer is fantastic and is a solid 3D fighter made by the developers of Bloody Roar and other fighters, Eighting. I really wish this series would continue, as I'm kinda tied of the anime arena fighter formula.
By pressing Y after some moves you can chain other moves together so there are a lot of hidden combos not listed in the comand list. It cost chakra to do that however. As far as I know that is not explained in any of the games. I also highly recommend you try Super GNT4
Hey Niosai, is there any chance to cover all Wild Arms games?
The Clash of Ninja series is my all time favorite Naruto games
Also, there's an English patch for CON4. I play it on my PC
I really wanna see those Naruto Ninja Council games some time ^-^
Clash of ninja is so fun. Used to rent some of them from block buster
I still play clash of ninja 2 gekitou ninja taisen 3 and 4 to this day
grew up on clash of ninja 1 & 2❤
Have you ever played the Zatch Bell games? They're a lot of fun
Hahahaha You get to play as Mizuki in Naruto Gekito Taisen 4 That's hilarious.
underrated series
Brooo I literally just had Naruto Clash of the ninja revolution 2 that i borrowed from the library and then this comes out
Not sure if you know about it, but there is a mod for GNT4 with an English patch and I played it earlier and was able to use D-pad in battle, the mod adds some QoL improvements and character reworks.
I played all the GameCube Clash games and one on the Wii. While I loved the Tekken-style gameplay, I always preferred the Ultimate Ninja games. I also enjoyed the Ninja Council games, maybe you could play those if you haven’t for a video?
In GNT3 hey added a second super move for some characters. And other new characters have 2 since the beggining.
Awww. You didn't mention the part where in the 4th game, there's unique team ultimates when you have 3 specific characters like the sharingan trio; Sasuke, Kakashi and itachi
Yo why the model of the clash of ninja are so good
I would’ve loved clash of ninja 4 I always wanted to play as one tailed naruto and Kcm 2 sasuke in that format.
