So checking out two new Naruto Shippuden games, Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 for the Wii and NARUTO Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2 for the DS, was going to be an adventure in mass produced populist pablum. It’s easy to look down on something so popular.
This series is everywhere, with buttons from Hot Topic, DVDs at Target, and grown men running around with a goofy headband and stripes painted on their face. One thing I do recognize, however, is the Naruto franchise.
Sure, I can appreciate Miyazaki’s work, and I grew up watching the Pokémon show, but it’s just a form of entertainment I’m still building appreciation for.
