Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja STORM Trilogy

Naruto's first outing on Nintendo Switch is a wonderful first step for the orange ninja. While we would have loved to have seen the fourth title included to cover the entirety of in a single game, it's hard for us to thumb our noses at three complete games in one package for about 40 bucks. For a Naruto fan, this is a no-brainer.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy is fine for the most part. A sharp presentation and fun gameplay mechanics ensure that you keep playing for hours. That being said, the first game really shows its age way too much. The overworld structure and boring minigames really don't hold up anymore.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy is a welcome surprise for Nintendo Switch, although eyebrows must be raised that the other consoles had Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy, which featured the fourth numbered entry in the series. Storm 3 takes players tantalisingly close to the end of the story (albeit in a non-canonical way), so the absence of Storm 4 is really telling. Purists that own a PS4 or Xbox One would be far better off buying the Legacy edition than the Trilogy on Nintendo Switch.
