i want a game where you can use the old style of using d pad to switch your weapons, except in this game it could switch your jutsu. and you could have a "guard justu", which protects you and may inflict damage, and you should have WAY WAY more chakra, but it should be very difficult to replenish it, that way its more like the manga. also, close combat shouldn't do nearly as much damage, and should be much more flexible. also, jutsus should be way more interactive, like a long lasting fireball that steadily drains chakra, or using chidori, then getting in close to strike your opponent with it, or using shadow clone juts, and then you can activate rasengan barrage by using rasengan while your clones are out.
these changes would add real strategy to the game, and make the ability to slip in and out of close combat skillfully very important.
