● In the "Narutimate can play longer" "3"

- This time, the battle system is so changed considerably. Hiroshi Matsuyama (hereinafter,Matsuyama ) "on previous generation I changed the system a bit, "I was able to reputation is very good, to achieve one million worldwide, thank you. The "3" Then, more, I'm going to change completely, the battle system.

▲ Naruto (Kyuubi chakra mode)

- System "awakening" can experience new TGS, right? Mean one of them. Matsuyama　Yes. It was a form of it, awake state changes in response to the damage, in the series of works up to now, to be a pinch. Although I think you are looking at the original, and you know, but to the training, "Bijuu chakra mode" of Naruto, but it is not accustomed to this state of one's own free will, for example. So, I did start to be able to at the same time as the game suddenly waking. - I see. It is also why I changed it, along with the development of the original system. Matsuyama　However, not all characters can be awake from the start, you can start at the same time as the awakening is the only character that matches some of the image. - As far as the試遊, I thought as a rather powerful. Matsuyama　also, strongly, it is not only to be useful. Ninjutsu is always accompanied by the risk because, once you awake suddenly, "something" than I would decreasing. So, you can be in trouble later on, there is always risk. In the TGS version, so you have to recreate the Battle of the original scene, it does not put out for elements that decrease. - Such as the battle, it is not being able to awake as much as you like. Matsuyama　yeah. Or the system is in use when the stick awakening is that left to the player's strategy. - I see. Their tactics are so hot. Matsuyama　new elements of the battle system, there are many others as well. , "This generation more than the 72 people ", will most definitely be playable characters past. And renewed the battle system, so make adjustments to hijack it, but I also think character ever, touch and feel and change everything.

- The new battle system, what has been produced based on the concept of what? Matsuyamait is the "Narutimate to play long." I think up to now, after clearing the story, and it feels like playing online ...... little by little. Battle online, you can enjoy long after the clear, but this time, I want to be born perfectly but what kind of bargaining. And I have put exactly how the system wins, Good players that you might want. - The called "How will want commitment to win", it is seems to have been in the works as well as a series of ever ...? Matsuyama　But it is not it is part of the aesthetics of the player. "At the end refers to the final blow in the mystery" or. But I see, does not it? Tend to be sober battles that no longer use the mystery, and it boils down to normal attacks become good people. I would have thought so, because we have put a new system, and burns very well. - Even if the fight between advanced and become flashy game "3"? Matsuyama　yeah. I'm good thing you're on a system that occurs in the game, and how to win like that. So, I think I will stick to how to win even good people.Also, I think that happens, because I like born there, good people and bad people even fight, and to ensure that it is a decent game. - Will you mean, there is merit to that mechanism in the system, how to win cool? Matsuyama　Yes, there is a good thing. , "It was thought such a system would actually attempt to generation in the survey went to after the release of "I'm there as well because there were many requests. Web site is available in the form of CyberConnect2, this is an opinion I have recruited from all over the world, more than 17 000 opinions about is received in a month. - That's great! Matsuyama　anymore, it was more than just very divided (laughs). The greatest, but by opinion still like "! Have to be able to use the character date", or "! Take out the guy", I'm there were many demands on the system "system only want you to do this change," such as I. - You know that many fans hot. Matsuyama　also recently, also, the timing of the announcement in the "3" was solicited opinion as well, in about two weeks time the opinion of more than 30,000 (laughs). - I was even more! (Laughs)Matsuyama　, however, I have to be able to enter Japan is divided into four, Asia, Europe, North America area, I'm terrible breakdown a little (laughs). About 60% of the total in the United States, about 30% is about 10% in Europe, and the remaining regions of the other. And only in Japan, it was about 170. - There is a strong title, especially in Europe and the United States certainly, even when compared to domestic sales volume, it is quite unbalanced. Matsuyama　Japanese I guess I'm modest (laughs). Of this total 1 million, 10% of the total since we are selling in Japan, but I is not supposed to be funny if you have opinions of 30000, even though Japan accounts for much of 3000. Anyway, so get a variety of opinions, "and this is because of your tendency, let's perfectly good fight," and every day talking. - By the way, you can experience battle TGS version, what degree of perfection, such as how much? Matsuyama　It is at all yet. Range and it is visible, but I have not seen much only about 20%. I think the feeling of when I play, and vary considerably.

● Power up even Boss!

- Please tell me about the other elements of the battle. Matsuyama　" generation "of battle-focused" The Ultimate Ninja Storm means ", he can also be willing to get everyone to achieve one million books. After all, I was told from people all over the world, "What happened to the Boss,? I do not why," and though. - Boss Battle "1", "2" was so amazing, it would be expected.Matsuyama　current work is a game because of the material, and are making every year, but I'm caught up to the original, though. If you do not open the period to some extent, I will get something unsatisfactory in volume. " Generation has made ​​the "Is there any reason why. - I see. You can work out the other axis that play specialized, it is possible to release a new one that is consistently so that 's, became possible. Matsuyama　after all, is says "Boss! Boss!" from Everybody. As such but I know (laughs). In a way that is powered up, put a Boss various adventure mode, I'm making to be able to experience the story, the drama firmly in that, also, this time. Begins with experience in TGS "Kyuubi incident 16 years ago," Kage meeting, it is expected to draw up to now the latest episode of Shinobi War.

- It is going to be amazing also volume. Boss on power-up, would it be more specifically in what way? Matsuyama　at Boss this time, such as during and before the start of battle, I was confronted to the player selected. It is called "Decision Narutimate Substitute" Now, it is a such thing as "the ultimate choice." Version of the TGS, but I have been part of Removal "ultimate choice", in this volume are actually faced with the choice. - More specifically, what the "selection" is? Matsuyama root of two is presented, the player can decide how I fight. It is called "hero root" and "root" hero now, I think the "root hero" is a standard, and would choose a lot of people here. "Root hero" is, There are many users, especially Europe and the United States, it is the root from which you have prepared for those who seek a battle that is more crunchy. - Is it the fact that differences in the degree of difficulty? Matsuyama　also extremely different and difficult, I'm different from the contents of the play. In the TGS version will have Kyuubi attacked the village, and also appeared in The Man in the Iron Mask ...... for example. Do you think it is here, but four Hokage is hero, save the village somehow the Kyuubi, or think that Yondaime should kill the man in the iron mask before it is first. Depending on whether you care about either, I change the order in which fighting. - The order in which the fight, what changes would happen? Matsuyama　ahead if you fight Kyuubi, but the scene is shifted from the state during the battle, the battle of the Fourth Man in the Iron Mask vs "Already at that time the Fourth?" On the other hand, after you play the first game Kyuubi begin. So it will not start from the situation in which it is incurred damage to each other to some extent. - I see. It is not a big difference in the degree of difficulty there.Matsuyama　In addition, in the middle of the story, for example, in order to control the power of the Kyuubi Naruto, enter into the spiritual world, there is a scene to fight the Kyuubi. In the ultimate choice here, you can choose whether to fight Naruto alone, or in cooperation with the Killer Bee fight is a teacher now. Of course, the better to fight alone, but it is the "root hero" difficult. - I heard many people choose the "root" hero, will want to do both. Matsuyamacourse, for people who want to do both, have to be able to experience clear properly after. I do not that I "do it again from the beginning." Because it is a user-friendly company CyberConnect2 (laughs).

- In addition, there was a new element made ​​apparent at the moment, please let me know.Matsuyama there is an element called "Secret Factor" and actions that are in the battle, a special rendition that reproduce the original flow. In the midst of the game, for example, the tips are pooled or have Sasuke Chidori in motion mighty long wait. I feel when I make a Naruto Rasengan by this is that ...... you possibly ...... that scene switched. I will find that the mechanism which reduces the life to some extent, and the story has raised the flag stands, flag stood acceptance of the secret factor. - Even TGS version, there was a secret factor against the man in the iron mask vs Yondaime Hokage. Instruction has come out to put out the "chakra dash" on the screen, if you issue the "chakra dash" as directed, special scene is played. Matsuyama　is TGS version, but they've completely tell you the answer, "and recall the original, such ... Is not this kind of thing" Maybe, in fact it would go and explore. But actually "2", to battle Sasuke vs Itachi, hidden commands of reproduction is original is I did A~tsu in lithospermum. - Is it I was right! ? Matsuyama　yeah. When a player hits the Shuriken Sasuke chakra, chakra shuriken have also shot a weasel of CPU accordingly. Then, the offset occurs between Shuriken, shooting scenes with hundreds of original reproduction, the shuriken is'm flowing. I'm Info impressions from people who have noticed this, "It was good to get used to feeling as if he has been involved in the story," he said. Well then, this time, I'll make you put in a lot of battle, the original secret factor of such reproduction. Therefore, in large Boss, I have a secret all factors.

- Finally, do you have a message to the readers. Matsuyama　and want to tell you that part of the battle, the story mode, but this time it has changed quite a bit first. After that, " Narutimate series "is a place that I had accumulated more than 9.8 million books. , "A Mochoi Narutimate10 million this alone. " I think it probably can be achieved in this year. - It is a tremendous number! So, as well as commemoration ...? Matsuyama　of course, I think Mr. NAMCO BANDAI Games will ask you for the full promotional spend money (laughs). Since the exhibit in New York Comic Con from October 13 First of all, I think there, trying to a major announcement on "3".So, I think somewhere in the three days of the 15th, and announced that from October 13, so please look forward to it as well.

● Bangaihen interview: Please also tell the story of "JoJo"!

- " Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 that I'm afraid to "interview, speaking of Mr. and Mrs. CyberConnect2 and NAMCO BANDAI Games," Battle Star JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is also exhibiting at TGS.
