Naruto 3DS title announced in Japan

A new Naruto 3DS title's been announced in this week's issue of V-Jump in Japan.

The game's called Naruto Shippuden Nin Rittai Emaki Saikyou Ninkai Kessen, which suggest the game takes place around the time of the Ninja Council series.

The title's said to be a side-scrolling action title with "3D fields," as well as a "gimmicks and stage formations" bit that uses the 3D effect of 3DS.

It'll launch this spring in Japan, according to Takara Tomy, with it being aimed close to the release of 3DS itself on February 26.
