But despite its smooth gameplay and stunning visuals the game is shutting down once and for all. It might be because of the lack of in-game players every day or might be because of lack of funds.
Nonetheless, the game was surely a hit among Naruto fans and will continue to be so till its last day.
We hope Naruto Shippūden Ultimate Ninja Blazing gets adapted into a PC game so that we can once again delve into the world of Naruto.
