There aren’t many fighting games available on the go, but the PSP has several titles that fit that genre. Now the ninja in the orange jumpsuit is back in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 for the PSP.
Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that NARUTO™ SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja® Heroes 3 is now available at retailers nationwide for the PSP system.

In NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 players can re-live the NARUTO SHIPPUDEN storyline up to the Hidan and Kakuzu arc in the new Master Road mode as they follow the Nine-Tail Fox ninja in his continuing adventures to save his friend Sasuke. With more than 80 action-packed missions, players’ skills are put to the test as they face intense battles using one of more than 50 characters.
Now for the first time in the series’ history, NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 expands upon the series’ renowned fighting engine and updates it for four-player brawls.
