Outside of the bombastic, anime-inspired spectacle, a new simplified control scheme lets newcomers jump in without having to get technical to do the cool stuff. Pulling off solo Ultimate Jutsus are a staple of the series, and it's pretty rad doing so with new characters-with the new villain Jigen in the mix, seeing him use the Otsotsuki power to summon a Disruption Cube and crush his opponents brings that over-the-top flair these games do so well. Naruto's new Nine-tailed Fox transformation in particular is one that looks sick as hell.

With full Chakra meter and your health bar in red, you can once again enter Awakening mode, working as both a comeback mechanic and also a neat spectacle.

For example, I had Boruto and Kawaki attack in unison, with Kawaki helping power up Boruto's Rasengan, for a ton of damage. These were in Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, but now with a roster of characters from Boruto, we can execute a whole new variety of them. While this system lets you mix and match your favorite characters for different team compositions, what you really want to do is set yourself up for Combination Ultimate Jutsus.

It's also a tag-fighter, with each player having a team of three characters who they can swap to during the fight.

Mechanically, Naruto X Boruto plays similarly to the previous games in the series with two players facing off in a 3D arena using basic attacks, combos, substitute dodges, and a variety of wild Jutsus. As I got hands on with this latest entry at Summer Game Fest, it brought a strong sense of familiarity while channeling that same energy I'd expect from a fast and flashy pick-up-and-play arena-style fighter-now, for a new era. It features an expansive roster of over 130 characters throughout Naruto's history and the two story modes that fuse what's old and new in the franchise. This new entry is a sort of 'greatest hits' for the Ultimate Ninja Storm games that coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Naruto anime. That's where Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections comes in, picking up right where the 3D arena fighting series left off. Folks have been gradually warming up to Boruto as the anime has ramped up, but Boruto is also about ushering in a new generation of fans. In that time, the torch has been passed from Boruto's dad to Boruto himself, with the anime and manga carrying that legacy. Even though it feels like Ultimate Ninja Storm games have been coming out in droves, it's been seven years since the last proper one.
