Marvelous USA announced on their YouTube channel that Naruto Arcade Battle is officially releasing in North America this summer. This arcade will be the first Naruto arcade title featuring collectibles in North America.
Players will be able to experience the arcade game on a 50-inch screen arcade cabinet. Each time you play the game, you will be given a card called a Shinobi Plate that you can use to summon characters. There are different kinds of Shinobi Plates, so players can gather a huge diverse collection of them.
Naruto Arcade Battle Is Coming to America
To play this game, start by using your tokens or credits. Afterward, aim and throw a kunai at the moving target on the screen to earn a Shinobi Plate. Hitting any target will reward you with a Shinobi Plate, but hitting smaller targets will give you a rare one. The goal is to form a team with up to four Shinobi Plates and head into battle, although you can start with fewer.
From here, you can go into battle and move one of your Shinobi Plates to the center of the screen to attack. Engage in a button-mashing battle to unleash special attacks and reduce your opponent’s HP to zero. Each Shinobi Plate you collect has unique attributes, special attacks, and skills, so choose wisely to create a strong team.
Check out the showcase below Marvelous USA explains how the game is played:
Last year, Marvelous USA hosted several location tests across the United States in different Round 1 and Kiddleton venues. At the moment, there is no news of a future location test happening.
The Naruto franchise, created by Masashi Kishimoto, follows the journey of Naruto Uzumaki, a young ninja aspiring to become the Hokage. It began as a manga series serialized from 1999 to 2014, later adapted into two major anime series: Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. The franchise expanded to include films, video games, and a sequel series, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, focusing on Naruto’s son. Overall, the Naruto manga sold over 250 million volumes worldwide.
