   Why on earth does a brand like Naruto keep on having such an insane success, I may never understand; or care. But there are obviously throngs of kids out there who are crazy about the manga and anime series, so it's the game publishers' financial duty to keep on exploiting the franchise, by expanding it on as many platforms as possible. And if we put two and two together, it immediately becomes apparent that Nintendo's Wii console was bound to be the next target for the Naruto over-hype.

   As of today, the first Naruto game for the Wii has become a certainty, after D3Publisher of America issued a press release confirming the rumours and announcing the upcoming Wii release of Naruto: Clash of Ninja MVZ (working title) - "a head-to-head fighting game with content created exclusively for the North American market!", they say, adding:
"Naruto: Clash of Ninja MVZ is based on episodes from VIZ Media’s hit anime series Shonen Jump Naruto and will include characters that have never been featured in the hit Clash of Ninja game series. The game will take advantage of the Wii Remote in fast-paced ninja action for up to four players in nine different gameplay modes. (...)

The next generation in Naruto games will include all new character animations, new special attack animations and for the first time new interactive environments. Developed by Eighting, Naruto: Clash of Ninja MVZ takes advantage of the Wii system by allowing players to launch attacks with the Wii Remote using Ninja-like movements, and features special mini-games created exclusively for use with the Wii Remote.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja MVZ will include 14 characters - including some that have yet to be featured in the Clash of Ninja game series. The fast-paced ninja action for up to four players will have nine different gameplay modes including Story Mode, Single Player and Multiplayer modes."    If I were to draw an unusually objective conclusion, I'd say that Naruto is certainly one fighting game perfectly suited for the Wiimote. As for my subjective opinion... you don't wanna know! Fans can look forward to this first Wii Naruto launching in autumn 2007.
