  GC Naruto Gekito Ninja 3 - Preorders Open
   Despite being shown at the Tokyo Game Show last month, Tomy has not started preorder solicitations for Naruto Gekitou Ninja 3 yet. The date of November 20 was posted on Nintendo's Japanese website a few days ago. It was then promptly removed. Our estimate for release remains mid-late December 2004 and we're opening up preorders today based on that frame. We will post the final ship date once Tomy shares the information. 
   Featuring beautifully redrawn artwork, Naruto 3 looks sharper than the two previous games in the series and features a new 3-on-3 team fighting system ala KOF. With a trio of fighters at the ready, super special attacks may be ignited where all three join in on the beat down. As the Naruto character universe expands in the animation series, new faces such as Chouji and Jiraiya join the ranks of fighters in the game.

  NEWS Dec 2004 and Jan 2005 PS2 Import Schedule
   A preliminary listing of Playstation 2 imports expected in January 2005 has been posted below and preorders are welcome. Since companies such as Konami and Capcom usually start preorders for their products separate from other "grouped publishers," we'll expand this initial listing over the next few weeks as new titles are added.
   The game Buzz Rod from Starfish may be a bad translation on our part but we'll correct it as more information is available.
