Path of the ninja 2 will always be my favorite naruto game. I had so many great memories with it on my dsi

Anime-based JRPGs should be more popular - I personally think it's the best medium to portray the growth and progress that is at the core of most battle shonen series. And besides, we're kinda full of anime-based fighting games.

Agreed. To be honest fighting games generally aren't a very accurate medium for most anime battles. It really only works for stuff like DBZ where most fights amount to punches and kicks to finish off with an energy blast. Most anime are more tactics or situational based then basic wars of attrition+counters.

A lot of the songs are really generic JRPG music, but there's a handful of exceptionally strong music. I don't talk about music because I don't really know anything about it other than "It sound good/not good" but I encourage everyone to give the OST a listen in their free time.
