Gameplay

The game keeps the series' cel-shaded one-on-one combat but adds Senzai Ninriki, later translated as Latent Ninja Powers, where a fighter glows a distinct color once their health drops into crisis range. Naruto's tailed-beast transformation also gains a third tail form for this installment.
