Naruto: Ninja Destiny - 3D Cel-shaded fighting game - Releasing this week

[Cao Cao]

It has been known for awhile that Tomy was bringing over the poorly-received Naruto: Shinobi Retsuden (The 3-D fighting game), and it has been known that Tomy had announced that they were making much-needed improvements to the US/EU version to address some of the problems in SR.

Gamespot has posted a preview of Naruto: Ninja Destiny, and they point out the improvements that they noticed.

-Black lines around character models, along with better shading, for a better cel-shaded look.
-Frame rate raised to 30FPS (From SR's 15FPS)
-3 new characters (Confirmed to be the three Sannin - Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru)

I thought Shinobi Retsuden was pretty decent already, it's like a portable version of Clash of Ninja.

DS Fanboy posted a short GDC hands-on impression, and they were impressed. Also bumping this up as a reminder that it comes out this week, for anyone who is interested.
