They weren’t. It’s just that they had two other competing series (Clash of Ninja on Nintendo consoles and Ubisoft Naruto games on Microsoft). So they needed to put effort into making their game unique and interesting. Clash of Ninja always was considered the better fighter. So Ultimate Ninja had to get creative in other ways. When Storm came into the picture, it dominated at first due to the graphics and overall remaster. But when they lost competition post Storm 2, they got incredibly lazy and half-assed about everything, hence how Storm Connections monstrosity was born. 😒 We need another Clash of Ninja game.
@@1ofnonejay oh this most certainly wasn’t a diss on OG Ultimate Ninja. While I don’t think the games were ahead of their time, I think the charm comes from them simply being good Naruto games. But total diss to the Storm series, more specifically everything that came after Storm Generations.
As someone who likes 2D Fighting Games, 3D Fighting Games, Anime and Anime Fighting Games, it sucks when a Character you like in one Game doesn't return in another, but that's one of many reasons why I like returning to Previous Games in the Same Series, it's like "Oh I like this Game but Several Characters I like aren't in it, oh well guess I'll play this Older Game today in the Same Series."
I always hated how both Tsunade nor Sakura were written to incorporate Chakra scalpel into their active ninjutsu arsenals, only using the jutsu in medical work. The Byakugou Seal super-charging the jutsu was a big missed opportunity along with infusing it with other chakra natures.
of all character that surprised me, and the original removed character is only Doto Kazahana. they could at least have a scenario story from the game along with location
I always loved the dynamic cinematography of these games. For example, the shots at: - 3:30 : A Big Shot, Zoom in, Camera Shaking. - 4:01 : This whole Ultimate. Fade-Ins and Fade-Outs, Sliding transitions, Camera shots, Dynamic Poses. Its the most underrated part of this franchise. More Games should do stuff like these.
I remember unlocking that naruto I'll never forget how dumbfounded i felt and looked when i saw naruto in that outfit and immediately had flashbacks from the episode in the orginal series lol
Bruh Doto being removed was insane. Tbh stuff like this is what CC2 was missing in the storm series. We need new characters throughout the series not 8 copies of naruto and sasuke, the hype the game could've held if we had Doto, Pakura, random seven ninja swordsman and other ninja in the game would be god like.
It was really common for content to be removed from games like Naruto at the time because the Western/International audience was also behind with the anime airing.
Not to mention being able to change Jutsu. In these games you can give Naruto the Chidori or give Sasuke mud wall or fang over fang and dynamic entry etc etc. there was a lot more variation in jutsu and you could give em to characters that couldn't use em.
It's a shame they removed these characters because it would have been great to have them in the Storm saga, but well, due to lack of budget, they are no longer there.
@@Edwinn252.0 Shouldn't be that hard. They could take pre-existing character models and tweak them into the notable missing characters. I for one would Love to see Shizune return as a character. Tsunade's forgotten apprentice and Dan's neice.
I have always thought that Doto being playable was some kind of "urban legend". But here he is in a video just recommended to me all these years later. Absolutely wild.
You’re telling me for Doto’s ultimate move you use the other snow ninja?! Like really?! The man had two ethereal shadow ice dragons that combined into a Twister! It’s like someone made a merged ice version of Hiei’s dragon of the darkness flame and Sounga’s dragon twister!
@DarkknightChris The Storm games have been following the anime's pacing. What do you mean? Lol Storm 3 is infamous for having a non-canon ending to its story mode because the anime hadn't finished the Great Ninja War Arc. Plus Doto was a promotional character to market the movie. There wouldn't be a purpose to market a character for a product that doesn't yet exist for that audience.
1:28 The developers made the right choice removing this version of Nine Tailed Naruto. This variant is by far the worst we’ve seen in all of the Naruto games. His moveset is a call back to Ultimate Ninja 1, his primary color scheme is legit just an alternate color scheme in Ultimate Ninja 1. And the only ultimate jutsu that changes is his 3rd one. Overall, this version just feels like Base Form Naruto before he learned the Rasengan but with an incorrect color scheme. Might I add, his name is spelled “Nine Tailed”. The biggest downgrade from UN1 who had a much better version. Why not just give as the UN1 variant and then have his ult just be a power up like they did with Sealed Orochimaru??
That Naruto existed primarily as an "extra" character for the international audience in UN1 because for some reason they thought it was a spoiler to have Naruto immediately accessible with the Nine-Tails power he would use on Neji in the Chunin Exams. That arc hadn't yet aired to an international audience. So he shouldn't have existed in the first place.
@@AK-MS27 Eeeh, Byuakugan Hinata is alright. I wouldn't say she's "unneeded", she had her own unique moveset which was good enough that they reused it in Ultimate Ninja 3 for regular Hinata and her jutsu were pretty cool, definitely better than Nine Tailed Naruto who felt half-assed.
I also think Taijutsu Naruto is straight garbage for the same reasons why I think Nine Tailed Naruto is garbage since they basically reused Lee's moveset and jutsu and called it a day. The only worthwhile characters that we never saw again with unique moves were Sealed Orochimaru, Anbu Kakashi and Byakugan Hinata. At least Anbu Kakashi came back for Ultimate Ninja 3 with an actual ultimate this time.
3:32 its the way how the camera just immediately transcends too naruto's back shakinh ads if he's a wanted criminal from the police or on a grand theft auto chase..
what a waste anko isnt on the game, she could get a unique course mark level 2 transformation for the game, if fucking itachi got a perfect susano, why not?
I just wish the Ninja Storm games let you play as the unique awakened characters for the duration of a match, even if they still have a limited movelist
Shizune, Possessed Kabuto, Sasori of the Red Sand, Taijustu Chiyo, Drunkard Lee and the individual cursed mark/jinchuriki forms of Garaa/Naruto would be GREAT to have in Connections
I don't think anko, shizune and sasori hiruko doll, chouji, lee, hanabi are removed The only removed from Ultimate Ninja 4 is Naruto 1 tail mode , and Anbu kakashi
Me parece bastante curiosi como personajes como Anko y Shizune nunca han tocado un Ninja Storm como personajes jugables, limitandose a ser asistentes o simples NPC
Doto is the only "removed" character. The rest simply didn't return or would be redundant because they already exist now. Do you really need a non-canon Naruto as The Green Beast when you alrwady have several CANON Narutos and Rock Lee (who he borrows a lot from)?
Do you want to see their moveset as well?
yes please
@@adrianhill8203I like and approve of this Idea.

Its an exaggeration
