"Naruto" game fans will be treated to a different kind of game once the upcoming "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing" is released.

According to reports, the forthcoming game, which is rumored to be released in Japan this year, offers a different gameplay that will set it apart from previous "Naruto" games. For one thing, "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing" will require the characters of the game to be played as a team of three, unlike the previous "Naruto" games where the characters engaged in a one-on-one combat. Gamers can also create a new team composed of new characters, eventually.

"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing" also carries the Ultimate Jutsu, which characters of the game can rely on in the event that the need for which arises. With the Ultimate Jutsu, "Naruto" characters can be given a power surge through the animations earlier employed in previous "Ultimate Ninja Storm" games.

It is also speculated that "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing" will feature "Naruto" characters in their early years. This assumption is based on the photos posted on the game's official website, wherein the game characters appear to have been derived from the original "Naruto" series. 

While it is true that "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing" does not carry a price tag, the same thing cannot be said if a player wants to employ the more popular "Naruto" characters in the game as they need to be paid for via the game's in-app purchase.

Meanwhile, Droidgamers cited Shone Games/"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm's" announcement on its official website inviting those looking forward to playing the game in reference to pre-register for it so that when the game is finally launched, they will be rewarded with freebies.

"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing" is coming to iOS and Android devices later this year. It still remains unclear, though, if the game will also be released outside Japan since, as of this writing, it is believed that the game will be exclusively available in the said country only.
