I've played anime based games, I dig them, I get them, I'm the audience. They are, or I should say were niche. The reason, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm from Namco Bandai. This game looks amazing. It is so close to what controlling an anime is like, just amazing. I also like that it keeps the fighting mechanics in place but adds some story elements, similar to Rise of a Ninja. Naruto is replacing DragonBall Z on the top of the hot anime titles, keep an eye on this puppy.
