I assume this means we'll get subtitles too?

I've actually heard good things about that game... haven't watched Naruto in forever but used to be quite a fan. I do agree that the american voices are quite grating at times... especially Naruto's voice. I don't think they could find a more annoying voice for him... totally destroys his character.

..that and the fucking ridiculous translation of "dattebayo" into "believe it". HOLY FUCK that's irritating

DB and the other group just translated it to different things, or didn't bother translating it at all. I know it's harder to translate and lipsync (though, nowadays, computers will lipsync anything for you), but there are better three-syllable phrases to use.

And yeah, that is annoying, but I think the FEMALE voice actress is more annoying. Just because it works for Bart (and I still debate that one) doesn't mean it works for every other kid voice. Many of the other voice acting could be tolerable.

Back to the game, is it any good? I saw it today as I was buying The Simpsons game, but I'm really leery about any sort of anime game, as they have had about a 100% track record of suckage.

my girlfriend and I have been casually enjoying the naruto, but we tried to watch it on TV one night and it was just so terrible that we had to stop. I'm not sure if I would have wanted to try this game if the japanese voices were not an option. Why does america ruin everything?

Do you like the weed with your the alcohol? The SineSwiper does not approve :P

Weed and alcohol together is icky. Both are great alone, but together they are icky.
