Like many ports of Japanese origin, the Nintendo Switch version of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto it took its time hand-wrapping – first introduced back in 2016, and the anime expansion of the film the following year – but with three different storylines, and a terrifying number of playful characters, this full-fat version helps ease the pain of time-consuming power of content. If you have completed a major 2018 port offering Naruto Shippuden: The Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy in Change, then you have to expect something to hold on to.

Fortunately, the action is more than making Naruto life, with its 3v3 battles as inspiring to watch and play as ever. Some of the older versions have been redesigned, and some recent additions have been released, making this installation more compatible with the first few games.

Thanks to a simple installation scheme, it's very easy to pick and enjoy Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road To Boruto & # 39; s arena battles (that heavy dose of set pieces and QTEs really helps), but don & # 39; i expect to actually follow this story if you are new to the world of naruto.

Sure, you get a lot of content – list size and story content that competitors found in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm – but unless you know the source well enough, you'll only get half the experience. Fans of the new Naruto work better by investing in the aforementioned trilogy before going all in on this installation.

The cutscenes in Story mode – one of Naruto Shippuden: The Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road To Boruto & # 39; s many ways – are probably his biggest compromise, especially since the developers rely on semi-static images played over audio from anime.

The result is a narrative transfer that may put fans of heavy metals and who may have a new arrival by simply skipping to the next fight.
