It case you haven’t figured it out already, today is officially Naruto video game day! The reason behind this celebration is the release of Naruto: Rise of a Ninja for Xbox 360, so be sure to give a hug to a Narutard on this most special day. To commemorate this momentous celebration, I present to you five special videos showcasing this very game.

The first (above) video is the official release trailer. Be sure to notice that the game makes use of the anime’s original music, unlike any other Naruto game. Then, after the jump, you can watch three different developer diaries that focus on the game’s progression, combat, and art. Finally, the last video I have for you is a review of the actual game by IGN, to bring a third party into all of this.

I personally wasn’t sure if this game was going to be good, or worth spending money on; however, over the course of this week my excitement has surprisingly grown in favor of the orange ninja. I’ll be sure to let everyone know what I think about it if I decide to buy it -- and believe me that’s a big if. Cliffhanger ending!
