01. Introduction [01]
==============================================================================

it will savely guide you trough the game and help you with any problem you
might encounter while playing this game. If you feel like there is something
missing, or an explanation isnt straight enough or maybe I totally left out
an important information, then feel free to contact me under:

desfaqhelp@googlemail.com [Please don't forget to insert the game name]

Please remember I don't speak japanese myself so I might not use the right
terms for everything. Thanks for all comments and happy reading -des

02. General Game Information [02]
==============================================================================

Shortinformation:

Title: Naruto Shippuuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 2
Developer: 8ing
Publisher: Takara/Tomy
System: Wii
Players: 1-4
Price: 6800 YEN
Controls: Wii Remote + Nunchuck, Classic Controller, Gamecube Controller
Website: http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/gamesoft/naruto_ex2/

Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 2 marks already the 6th installment of the
japanese fighting game series. It is also known as Clash of Ninja outside of
Japan but with the release of Clash of Ninja Revolution America decided to
make its own series, this also means that the japanese GNT EX series might
never be released outside of Japan. With the timeskip in the manga and the
anime the series also went through a little name change called Shippuuden
(roughly translated as Hurricane Chronicles). The game series underwent a
similiar change and got a EX added to its name.

Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 2 features 30 characters, the characters from GNT EX
return and also new characters like Yamato,Sai,Asuma,Trueform Sasori and
timeskip (TS) versions of most of the teams make a appearance. Also Naruto and
Sasuke as pretimeskip (PTS) versions return this time.

Also a new seal system is introduced that features the use of the Wiimote. The
seals enable you boots for your character stats for a short period.

==============================================================================
03. Menu Translation [03]
==============================================================================

This is probably the most important section for most of the people since they
either don't dont any japanese at all or only have a limited knowledge of it.
The following overview for the menus should make navigation much easier. After
that there are some more translations of menus you can access while fighting.

The Menu translation is devided into two parts. At first the basic menus to
access all the game modes and after that there are additional translations for
ingame menus and options.

Notes
============================================

~ Indicates option/mode must be Unlocked.

** \"Controller Visuals\" refers to the small graphical representation of the
Wii Remote and Nunchuck that appears during specials. (They are
automatically not present if you are using a GC/Classic Controller. Wiimote
sound effects are not affected by turning the visuals off).

*** \"Story Auto-Play\" basically gives the option as to whether the dialogue
during 'cut-scenes' progresses by itself or whether you hit the \"A\" button
to continue to the next line.
**** This option switches between shaking the Wii remote or pressing down on
the D-Pad to perform a 'B' attack.

==============================================================================
04. Controls [04]

The game supports every input method that is available for the Wii. However as
far as my experience goes seals are NOT possible with GameCube and classic
controller

In Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 2 all stages from its predecessor Gekitou Ninja
Taisen EX 1 return along with some new stages. Obstacles and stage switches
are still in the game. However there are some new obstacle types like
exploding boxes, spikes that hurt you and things falling from above. Finally
they introduced a option to disable the obstacles (the screen after the map
selection On/Off). The map selection now shows you both parts of every stage.

The follong stages are present:

2. Roof of Hokage Office (GNT EX)

==============================================================================

Seals is a newly introduced feature to the Gekitou Ninja Taisen series. With
the help of seals you can increase your defense, attack or activate special
modes like Sharingan or Onetail. To trigger Seals you have to hold Z+C first
and then you have to swing the wiimote in the right way and order.

1. Seal: Regenerates Chakra (Blue Aura)

Movement: Right - Down - Left

------>
|
|
|
V

|
|
|
V
------>

Note: - takes 100% of your Chakra
- if you dont have enough Chakra or your character has no mode like
Sharingan the last part of the seal will fail
- this seal only seems to work for characters with special modes eg.
Naruto, PTS Naruto, Sasuke, PTS Sasuke, Kakashi

==============================================================================
09. Specials [09]
==============================================================================

The special attack of every character allows you to deal a massive damage with
a single attack. Through the motion sensing ability of the Wii there are many
new ways to increase the damage done by these specials with certain movements.
This section will guide you what you have to do to perform a perfect special.
