In story mode, players will be thrown into a series of thrilling adventures as they delve into the Fourth Great Ninja War.  For the first time in Ultimate Ninja Storm history, players will be able to relive the most exciting series of the Naruto Shippuden anime as it airs in Japan and streams online.  Experience new one-versus-many action stages to test players’ ninja skills, while electrifying fights will be punctuated with cinematic boss battles ranging from nefarious villains to massive beasts.  Players will also be able to battle against the world through extensive multiplayer modes.  Compete in user created tournaments, set up friendly player matches and check out the competition with player cards to view win/loss records and fighting styles. 

First-run copies of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 across all retailers will feature a code to download an exclusive Dragon Ball Z Goku costume for Naruto and collectible trading card.  The special costume will allow Naruto to wear Goku’s signature orange gi in-game, marking the first time the two mega anime franchises have crossed over in North America.  Pre-ordering the game is highly recommended to guarantee access to these special bonuses.

Players who pre-order the game at a U.S. GameStop store can pick up a GameStop exclusive poster and will receive the Goku costume DLC and collectible trading card when they purchase the game.  Additionally, GameStop PowerUp Rewards members who pre-order will also receive a 30 day trial subscription to Neon Alley, a 24-hour streaming service developed specifically for anime fans from VIZ Media.  The Neon Alley service is currently available to download as an app through the PlayStation Network or Xbox Live.
