A portion of a WiiNintendo interview with Tomy…
WN: Is Path of the Ninja 2 a direct localization of Naruto RPG 3? Are there plans to bring RPG 2 to North America?
TOMY: Yes, it’s a straight localization of Naruto RPG 3. There are no plans to develop Naruto RPG 2.
WN: What was the reason to skip over the Naruto RPG 2 localization and just bring RPG 3 to N. America?
TOMY: I think it’s just the relevance to the storyline. At this point in time people who watch the TV show are already past what happens in RPG 2. I think what’s apparent to us is that American Naruto fans operate on a different level compared to Japanese fans where they have access to books and the show as soon as it comes out. American fans are already privy to what’s going on and I think having an original storyline is sort of exciting most people again, especially Naruto fans.
That’s just one question in a massive interview. You can cehck out the full interview, and more screens here.
