Naruto: Raging Storm

Naruto: Raging Storm is the first installment in the trilogy of Dragon Ball crossover games. It is the crossover of Naruto and Dragon Ball Z. It would be released for the Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Nintendo 3DS. It is followed by Bleach: Budokai Resurreccion . It would also be followed by two spin-offs, Naruto Shippuden: Tenkaichi Heroes and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Tenkaichi Storm, released exclusively for Sony PSP and PlayStation Vita, respectively.

Story

Following the battle with Frieza, Goku floats endlessly through space, searching for a planet to land on. Unknown to Goku, in another reality, a ninja named Naruto Uzumaki battled another ninja named Sasuke Uchiha in the Valley of the End. Consequently, this battle took place simultaneuosly with Goku's battle against Frieza. Two months following this battle, Naruto returns to this valley for private training. Back in the Dragon Ball realm, Goku gets pulled through a wormhole that mysteriously appeared and it pulls him through to the realm of ninja. He feels a dimensional force that syncs his power level to that of this realm, somehow making him less powerful. He senses another power not far away and flies to it, discovering Naruto. He challenges Naruto to a fight and the battle begins.

He soon defeats Naruto and the two vow to become stronger for their next meeting. Soon Goku returns home and tells everyone of his journey, but none believe him. None----except Vegeta. Vegeta, after hearing of the Androids, is intrigued by this idea and begins training for a couple years. Soon, the same happens to him and he faces Sasuke Uchiha. After a battle, Vegeta emerges the winner and returns home to train even more.

Gameplay

Raging Storm Screenshot2 — A screenshot of Naruto vs Goku gameplay

As the title suggests, the gameplay would be a mix of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Dragon Ball: Raging Blast. Free battle would be ground-based combat and teammates would be used as support like in the Naruto game, but transformations would be similar to Raging Blast, wherein they can be accessed at any time. Boss battles would have quick-time events like in Ultimate Ninja Storm, and Story Mode would allow you to free roam parts of Konoha and forests in the Naruto universe as well as roaming Other World and Namek of Dragon

Ball's universe. This game also uses the HUD display of Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2. All characters' Ultimate Attacks carry over from their original games. The Naruto cast brings back their Ultimate Jutsu from Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Dragon Ball characters are carried over from Raging Blast 2.

Notes:

The Sasuke Uchiha (Between Timeskip) character is Sasuke roughly half a year through his training with Orochimaru. He recieves a new outfit not seen in either the Naruto anime nor manga that seems to be a mixture of his clothing from the end of Naruto and the beginning of Naruto: Shippuden.
Kabuto Yakushi (Orochimaru Possession) and Kabuto Yakushi (Snake Cloak) should not be confused with each other. The Snake Cloak refers to his appearance during the Fourth Great Shinobi War, whereas, Orochimaru Possession refers to his appearance shortly after injecting himself with Orochimaru's cells.
In the spin-offs, Tenkaichi Heroes and Ultimate Tenkaichi Storm, in addition to absorbing Gotenks and Gohan, Super Buu is able to absorb all playable characters from both Naruto and Dragon Ball, save for the giant characters. Once a playable character is absorbed, Buu will adapt to two of their Super Attacks and will have his own version of their Ultimate Attacks.
Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach appears in Naruto: Raging Storm as a bonus easter egg to promote the sequel, Bleach: Budokai Resurreccion.
This game is set to be rebooted yet again, with a new story, modified character roster, and revamped engine. Naruto: Raging Storm, its sequels, and spin-offs, will remain as they are, and the reboot will have a new title. The new title, until it is finalized, will be going under the name "Naruto x Dragon Ball: Storm Budokai"
