To be frank, that, and the promise of more incredible moments like it, are what Namco Bandai needs to sell me on a fourth outing with their Ultimate Ninja Storm line, especially after the absence of such with the third outing, Generations.

And from the looks of the trailer, they're scaling everything up. The Third Hokage's fight with the Nine-Tails seems to happen over the area of the entire village, with the Hokage jumping forward and around the rooftops to dodge, rather than the standard videogame boss-fight cliche of fighting giant monsters by standing on a ledge and only hitting their fingers when they reach out at you. Also interspersed are busy scenes full of ninjas dumping fire into the air like it was Independence Day, and the Fourth Hokage's duel with a mysterious masked man.

Man, if they can time this right to include fights and events all the way up to whenever the manga finishes up, I'll be a happy camper.
