Oh, oh, sidenote: huge shoutout to the Ninja Council games from NC2 onwards for being the MAIN games that spriters used to rip sprites from to use in animations and fan games such as M.U.G.E.N. I remember downloading tons and tons of Naruto characters with my friends for modded MUGENs and going through every character discovering their techniques, and they all looked great because they were from these very games! (or custom sprites made out of these ones) You could even make their Jutsus clash -which would prompt a "mash X button to win"- just like in the Ultimate Ninja games, which 1) I didn't even know was possible in MUGEN and 2) blew my mind at the time

Excellent review!! I really love the Ninja Council series and played a lot as a kid!! I think it would be awesome if they release a collection for modern platforms with the whole series. Just a minor correction at 5:15, the GBA is actually a 32-bit system and that makes the music in Ninja Council 1 sounds even more strange considering what was possible with the GBA.

Did you notice in fx Ninja Counsil 2 European Version that it takes a while for the main menu theme to kick in because the title call has been cut but the music hasn’t been “moved” to compensate for the dead air. So it’s just awkward silence for 4-5 seconds.

Every time I see one of these videos in my feed I know I’m in for a great time. I played all of these growing up. Sadly I only have the first one still as far as the English releases go. I bought a copy of SND4 on eBay years ago once I realized NC3 took out the Sasuke retrieval characters

Four felt like a big upgrade of the first game. Ninja council 2 was the one I played the least. Three was cool, but the mission structure made it hard to replay.

The first Ninja Council was my first contact with the Naruto universe. I remember playing the japanese version as a Rom image in a GBA emulator as soon as it was released. I could only speculate what the anime was about, but this curiosity led me to watch the anime proper.

I remember having very fond memories of the ninja council games but I don't remember the 2nd being that big of a downgrade from the first. Though admittedly I spent most of my time spamming special moves instead of doing much else. But that Gaara demon arm level is definitely a highlight still for me.

Lol I thought everyone did this but apparently not. In Ninja Council 1 you’re invincible while charging chakra for a special move and if you keep the button mashed you won’t lose any chakra. So it’s just free invincibility frames. I had a hard time with Orochimaru. So when he used his snake summoning, I just press and held B and the snake passes right through me. Then continue fight as normal 😂😂😂

You should do Ratchet and Clank games next!!!

I'm glad you liked Ninja Council 4, that's my favorite game the Council series, despite people always ranking it as one of the worst Naruto games for some reasons. Ninja Council 4 was really nostalgic for me. It came out around the time that the Naruto Dub got cancelled on Cartoon Network, and I was afraid that Naruto was dead in the West and that we were never going to get Shippuden content in America. Then out of nowhere, Ultimate Ninja 4 and Ninja Council 4 came out in early 2009, two Shippuden games despite not having an Anime on TV anymore. I replayed those two games several times that year, and then the Shippuden Anime finally did appear on TV, on Disney XD in October of 2009, although by that point I discovered the uncensored DVD sets.

I loved the mission structure and gameplay of Shippuden Council 3 European Edition. The only thing that bugs me is that that version uses Japanese voice clips, where the American version uses the English dub which I much prefer. Also for some reason the numbers are different in both versions. In Europe they are roman numerals, while in America they are regular numbers. Why this change? Also the American version replaces "Stage 1" with "Prologue" and replaces "Stage 10" with "Final Chapter". Again, why?
