All Games in the Naruto: Path of the Ninja Series News - Latest Updates and Information

The enduring popularity of *Naruto* has spawned a plethora of video games for fans to enjoy. Among these, the *Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō* series stands out, encompassing five distinct titles.

Kicking off the Naruto: Path of series is Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō, a 2003 release exclusive to Japan's Bandai WonderSwan Color handheld console. This now-retro system, launched in 1999, never saw international release, limiting the game's reach. The game primarily focuses on the Land of Waves arc, but also incorporates additional missions for Team 7.

This game adapts the first 70 episodes of the anime, covering the Land of Waves and Chūnin Exams arcs. Initially, players control only Team 7 and Kakashi, with additional characters unlockable later.

Concluding the series is Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, another Tomy-developed Nintendo DS game. Initially released in Japan in 2006, it later saw a global launch in 2008. Unlike the other games that largely follow the canon storyline, this entry features a completely original story, introducing the Three Ryūdōin Brothers as antagonists and a unique Anbu character as the player's ally.

These five games, while uniquely titled, collectively represent a significant portion of the early Naruto gaming landscape.
