Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst bringing series to PC for first time

While GamesRadar is out in Tokyo for the Tokyo Game Show, Namco Bandai gave us a new opportunity for hands-on with its next Naruto game. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst is a crazy long name, but beyond all the text is an update to CyberConnect2's latest entry in the popular series. And it marks the first time the series will come to the PC, via Steam. This enhanced version of Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 includes some 38 unlockable costumes, a new story mode, and the playable arrival of serpentine baddie Saint Kabuto. Kabuto figures prominently into the storyline (which features some six hours of enhanced CG cutscenes), and he was playable in versus mode, so we immediately chose him for the battle in the below video.

If you purchased the original version of Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 for PS3 and 360, the Full Burst update will be available as DLC on its release. Naruto fans can look forward to Full Burst on PS3, 360 and PC October 22.
