Interview:
Woody: Mr. Matsuyama-san, hello, thank you to meet us. So we could test this famous games which is NUNS generation, whose release date is scheduled in France on March 30.
Mitsuyama: Hello, delighted, then yes, it is this date, the release in Japan is 24 February. And demos on the PSN will arrive in Europe in late February.
W: First, we tested the game on the show, but especially the Versus mode, classic mode for this type of game well-understood, but could you enlighten us on the main game modes?
M: So, in effect, the game has several modes: Vs, Story, Survival and Online. To get into the thick of it, this game was especially access to the online mode.
Niklos: The online mode? he was present on the old game already, he received major changes?
M: Yes, so where to start ... this online mode, there are several types of combat (like NUNS2), fighting team, solo, fighting with rankings, and the custom mode.

W: The custom mode? What exactly is it?
M: The characters will recover through the ranks of cards, a card game like normal (in real life), and will have access to replaceable equipment for their next fights, again, every defeat of the adversary, the winner will prick the accessories given to supporting character.
W: So what we found, that the characters are customizable? But you talk just objects. What about the Jutsu and Ougi? Are they interchangeable on the characters as in a NUNS?
M: then there are important people who have several jutsu (me: what Naruto and co!), But to be honest, unfortunately not, the other characters can not change their Jutsu Ougi.
Niklos: To stay on the online mode, many have criticized that some characters were far too strong, and therefore find ourselves continually that the same characters in front or Sennin Naruto Itachi and wholesale. Have you found a solution to this?
M: (a serious look): Yeah, we got a lot of fans on this information "default" (if you can call it that). It has given all flat, as with the arrival of the first gen, no question of leave as is a Genin Naruto Naruto Sennin the cons. It seems that one can not force players to make their characters do not like, however, to try to balance, if we take the example of FG vs. Naruto Naruto Senin, it has boosted the speed of the youngest character , to compensate for its less destructive techniques. (Me: basically, they tried to place a few tricks to boost weaker characters.)
Woody: Thanks for the online mode was looking forward to it. Otherwise, there are still so a story mode. Where this story starts and stops?
M: So what story mode starts at the beginning of the series and the end stick roughly to the end of the episode in March, which will be the limit for the game characters and history.

Woody: Can you tell us more on this story mode? For we have seen from parts of the anime!
M: Indeed! (Serious tone!): To explain how the stories will focus on a dozen characters as Itachi just before going to fight Sasuke, and then we'll see parts of animated cut scenes of dialogue in the game to give a vision of history, seen by the target character (here Itachi). And I want to say that these scenes of summers have made manga by Studio Pierrot and approved by Kishimoto himself.
Niklos: There are many parts of animation? How long?
M: About 65 minutes of animation.
Woody: In this story mode, seen que'elle will therefore cover the whole story of Naruto so far, it makes a lot, will we have the right to party like the boss in NUNS2 and phases of QTE? Basically, how this mode will he proceed?
M: Indeed, there is much to cover part of the manga, so unfortunately, the story mode will be a succession of battles, with the parties and facilitated dialogues. We wanted to focus more on this game Online, besides NUNS 1 and 2 have brilliantly scenes stories of the First and gen Shippuuden respectively. But it will remain interesting story mode, even if that rewrite history in terms of characters like Itachi, or Zabuza and Haku. It will be interesting ...
Niklos: Now to the game itself, that is to say, the technical perspective on the fighting and the characters chosen. We could try this game just before the show, and we could try this new way for "Kawamari no jutsu" (substitutions). So there is a gauge to 4 notches? So max 4 substitutions in the fight? Some objects can improve it recoverable? (Me: That's it, here is one that is already preparing his personal cheatés ... lol)
M: Yes (raising drives him into the air) It's a good question, it is limited to 4, but a key is provided for AC, leaving free the guard button (left trigger and right trigger substitution custody ). But for objects, there is always the chakra and to recover a little life, but not for the substitution. This will force players to play their strategies differently
(The substitution does not depend on the gauge chakra!).
(Me: I feel that if you mug someone in melee, it's gonna be hard for him to cash ... if over gauge ...)
Woody: For characters, there are over 70, not counting support is huge. But many summers have disappointed some people that have been important in history as the 4 sound, and have even had their bows. Besides their popularity important, why not taking?
M: We get many requests from fans, it was long called their return and that of Zabuza and Haku. So we had to make a choice. We preferred to focus on the latter two, whether or playable character in story mode.

W: Can we expect to see them in a playable character?
M: Yes, to see for upcoming Naruto games. We always seek to improve them.
W: So you had told us, we tested this game, and noted that the grid of characters, there are "holes"? Could be there that the game is not finished for the cast of characters? What do you do?
M: (smiling): That is the end of development, as you could see, it's almost over. For the characters, in fact, it is still missing, but I can not tell you more right now (me: sniff ...). Remain patient, we will prepare a few surprises ...
A big thank you to Wood and Niklos for their interview and Matsuama-san for his kindness and his eternal love for Naruto.
what system do you have?
