Anyone who grabbed the Naruto games for the PS2 would know how button-mashing extensive it is to fight the greatest ninjas. Some fans probably frowned at Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes coming to the PSP, but surprises may exceed expectations. Game director Yuki Nishikawa sat down with IGN to talk about what's hot with Naruto on Sony's sleek handheld.

To offer an easy, on-the-go experience, Naruto boasts of intuitive controls that deliver fast-paced action without having to break your PSP apart. That isn't to say the game will pale in comparison to other fighting games, since Nishikawa promised "ground and aerial combos, guard breaks and 'Substitution Jutsu'... that will provide players with hours of fun."

It seems like some compromises were inevitable because of hardware limitations, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The flashy attacks when "Secret Techniques" are executed will be shorter this time around, but that should help boost the game's tempo.

With new features such as Heroes Mode and improved graphics, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes is shaping up to be a must-have for fans of the series, and something fighting fanatics should watch out for. Expect the game on US shelves August 28, while Europe will have to wait 'til September.

If this is as good as Clash of the Ninja 2...

This game could be pretty awesome. I'm not much of a fan of Naruto, but when I played CotN 2 at my friend's house, it was a lot of fun. I just hope Ino is in this one, and is as beast as she is in CotN 2 (she was my best character.)
