Naruto - Image 1We all know how big the Naruto manga, anime and gaming franchise is in Japan, but here's what we just found out: The loud ninja will debut his latest games in New York later this month and he plans to do it in style.

Naruto: Clash of the Ninja Revolution for the Nintendo Wii and Naruto: Path of the Ninja for the Nintendo DS will launch on October 27th in North America and all eyes will be on the Nintendo World Store in New York when it happens at exactly 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

According to the day's plans, there will be a ramen-eating contest featuring some of the world's greatest gastronomic gladiators in an intense face-off. Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS stations will also be allotted to participants of a fighting game tournament. Finally, there will be a raffle to give away one-of-a-kind items like an engraved Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

As a special treat to the Naruto faithful, the first 1,500 attendees wearing the trademark Naruto forehead protectors will get special gifts. Makes us wonder what they'll give people with sharingan contact lenses.
