Did I miss anything? What's your favorite Ultimate Ninja game?

[OtakuJuanma]

Gotta love how they kept Minato as "the yellow flash". I mean by the time these games came out all we had was a few passing mentions, obscured photos and a filler episode (I was told).

[Karmalu]

If they release a ultimate ninja HD collection I’d buy it in an instant

[BenieBeans]

One little Easter egg in Ultimate Ninja 3 (and 4 I believe) is if you press the “Select” button on the ps2 controller when you hover over a character, you can automatically start the match in their awakened. Some examples are characters like nine tails naruto, curse mark level 2 sasuke, curse mark sound ninja, etc.

[Ryou_Sensei]

It wasnt mentioned so fun fact: there was actually an OVA that came with the Japanese version of UN3 that took place during the Ultimate Contest mode that if you watch it, it gives you hints on some of the hidden crystals around the village, because it shows some characters either deliberately putting them there or accidently dropping them

[Pwrplus]

These games have been utterly eclipsed in the public eye by the Storm games to the degree that most people probably don't know they exist, but they're really wonderful, UN2/3 especially. While they don't have as heavy of a story presentation as the Storm games I think that for the time they came out they were leading the anime game market in that way, Budokai 1 is the only other game I can think of that put that much effort prior to anime really exploding in the west

[JadenOmega]

From these games, I love the manga esthetic from 1 & 2 and I wish they kept this going forward but 3 greatly improved the gameplay. Most people definitely wanna see a remaster of these games, including me. I really miss playing these games.

[FloridaManDre]

I love this game series almost as much as Budokai Tenkaichi, when I rebought my PS2 a few years ago I made sure to get these essentials.

[williamrichter]

Fun fact: Ultimate Ninja 2 in Japan had an extra character that was from the first Naruto movie. I don't think the movie came out in the US yet so they got rid of the character, assist characters and stage

and that character never showed back up in future Ultimate Ninjas

[ralfsstuff]

These were my childhood but the poor balancing of characters led to some "arguments" with my brother back in the day. Fighting Itachi with his slow down ability and the broken substitution jutsu.
At some point we even decided to limit it's use ourself like the later storm titled would eventually do.

[komi-samabeliever]

Wow looking back, I can't believe that I've played every single game in this video.

Never realized how much PS2 Ultimate Ninja games I've played without noticing it, but definitely 3 & especially 5 the one that I spend a lot of time with.

Ohhh childhood, why you have to leave us?

[sgcastle]

4:15 the switch plan was one of my favorite aspects of the game. Because we could use it to win by being strategic. For example, if you had paper bombs you could switch plane, leave the paper bomb, and when your opponent switched to reach you switch back and he gets caught up with the explosion. That strategy was even better with Shikamaru Because his move allowed him to set traps, so he could cover the entire battlefield, and switching meant moving in a dangerous ground.

[saveki]

I don't know if you noticed, but for the ultimate ninja 4 and 5, you can press R1 on the character select screen and it'll show the transformed version of that character. And also, on both games when you're at 50% hp or less in battle, your ultimate changes to a stronger version of it, or straight up transforms you if your character can transform.
And on Ultimate Ninja 3, there's a cheat code that you can do in the main menu and it'll unlock most of the characters on the vs duel mode (excluding fourth hokage and taijutsu Naruto)
Honestly I'm glad someone is making a video about these old games cause these things are what I spent most of my childhood with. I have hundreds of hours playing these games (especially 3, 4 and 5) and I was so sad when I searched on youtube about these Naruto games and finds nothing. Watching this video just fills me with nostalgia and I'm happy about that.

[TheDamnWinner]

The very first original Ultimate Ninja game was actually the first Naruto _anything_ i ever consumed and i LOVED so much that i immediately went out and started buying the manga as they released here. It was so sick. I miss those days. It was crazy, by the time toonami announced they were going to start airing Naruto i already owned like 5 or so volumes of the manga and i was fucking STOKED. Hahaha i was like 7-8 or MAYBE 9 at the oldest. Im 26 now 😭 Good ass times.

[taurellreed]

I love that since Ultimate Ninja 2, making characters fight each other either 3 or 5 times will unlock them as a support character to be used between them and was available for all characters to do.

[exiaRx]

The gameplay style of these were so much more fun compared to the arena fighters like later games imo

[atharvagajre]

These games, along with dragon ball games were my entire childhood. Thank you for helping me remember my childhood in these difficult times. Very Happy to see you blow up as much as you have, and hoping you grow even more!

[joeywalsh]

Legend of Dragoon is definitely perfect training for fast button inputs. Me and my younger brother would compete to see who could do the most damage with a magic item.
Loving these videos, please never stop.

[NaraNaoko]

Please just even a HD digital remaster bundle with UN1 - UN5 with an added online battle feature would sell crazy. They did it with Kingdom Hearts and UN has a niche following even now, a lot of Brazillian players still play this series regularly.

[_tavarts]

Awesome content, Nio, really brought me back to my childhood like more than 10 years ago
Greetings from Brazil, btw; dunno how many Brazilian subscribers you have, but I've been following you for some time now and really appreciate the effort you put into these videos :)
