I've never been a big fan of kiddie anime, but Naruto somehow caught my attention.  Perhaps it's because it's the only Anime that gets any US airtime anymore.  Regardless, Namco Bandai's follow up to the popular Ultimate Ninja series is quickly approaching. 

The game is first Shippuden game to be released for Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles.  The Shippuden series is set 2 and a half years after the original Naruto manga, and features a more mature cast of ninja.  Naruto: Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 will be focusing on the Akatsuki, a powerful band of criminal ninja whose goal is to find an collect the nine tailed beasts.

The new screens showcase many of the games ultimate moves, and they look spectacular.  Naruto's rasengan looks particularly well done.  Have a look yourself.
