'Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4' Latest Trailer Features Producer Hiroshi Matsuyama
"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" is set for release on early February. Bandai Namco released the latest trailer featuring the game's producer, Hiroshi Matsuyama. In the three-minute video from the official YouTube channel of Bandai Namco, Matsuyama talked about his inspirations, the fans of the series and its new features while running on a treadmill.
"The biggest source of inspiration is Kishimoto-sensei's source material itself. The source material is just amazing. The artwork is great and the mise-en-scene is amazing," Matsuyama said.
As for the fans, the producer said that he was able to visit many different countries with a large community fan base of the game as well as the Naruto series itself.
"I have the opportunity to travel the world with Bandai Namco Entertainment and I am able to communicate with these communities. Each country has a fanaticism that can't be beaten. I feel all of their love," the producer added.
The game feature that Matsuyama talked about was the game's story mode. According to Anime News Network, the story mode for "Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will revolve around the Shinobi World War and users can choose from the largest roster of playable characters in series history.
Some of the characters include different versions of the main characters Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha as well as legendary figures like Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha. Boruto Uzumaki and Sarada Uchiha from "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" will also be included in the game.
Matsuyama revealed, while running on the treadmill, that Bandai Namco got permission from Studio Pierrot, the studio that shows the anime on TV, to use scenes from the show and incorporate it into the game. He added that "Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will have original content, but these scenes from the anime were included to fit different situations in the game.
"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will be available for PS4, Xbox One and PC on Feb. 4, 2016, in Japan and Feb. 9, 2016 for North America and Europe. It is the final and sixth installment of the series because it covers all the story arcs from the Naruto manga.
"I feel palpably that 'Storm 4' is the culmination of everything we have done and the best in the series," Matsuyama said.
