Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4

About

Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4 is a fighting game built around the Naruto anime’s cast. You select characters and execute moves with timed button presses, chaining punches, kicks, and signature jutsu in high-speed matches. The GameCube version expands on earlier entries with sharper animations and more fighters. Single-player modes include story-based challenges and practice, while multiplayer lets you battle friends locally. Each matchup blends hand-to-hand combat with elemental attacks and mid-air clashes. The game’s roster includes fan-favorite heroes and villains, plus some lesser-known characters. Tag-team battles let you switch between two fighters during fights, adding a layer of strategy. Arcade mode features a simplified story with unlockable rewards. Though released in 2005, it remains a staple for series fans who praise its responsive controls and deep move sets. Some consider it the most polished entry in the Gekitou Ninja Taisen line.
