Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Character dlc and story mode update

It has just been confirmed in the latest issue of Shonen Jump that edo Deidara and Edo Asuma will be playable characters in the upcoming game.  Also white zetsu will be featured as an enemy during the story modes newest features hack and slash.

The hack and slash is a feature with in the story mode where you fight off certain amount of enemies during the story.  And one example is when sasuke is fighting off guards during his invasion at the five Kages summit.

Also some dlc has been confirmed for the game.  As most of you who are fans of naruto know, there has been a picture of naruto riding shenron from dragonball z while wearing goku's orange outfit and possessing the power pole that goku uses and this pic has been a fan favorite as the coolest "crossover" pic.  Well the people of Bandai Namco and Cyber Connect 2 like it just as well so it will be available as DLC when the game comes out. No release date yet but its coming.

The game comes out March 2013 and its looking to be an awesome one.  The game starts at the nine tails attack on konoha, continues on to the five Kages arc, then the shinobi war and onto later episodes of the show leading to the games release which means that Madara Uchiha might be featured in this game as Madara and not "Tobi".

Well that's all the time I have for today but stay tuned for more.  One love and SHOUT OUT TO #TEAMBLACKNESSUNITED AND ALL OF THE PROJECTS THEY'RE WORKING ON
