The main thing going for uns is its presentation and graphics that are true to the anime.The weakest part of the game is its fighting system which is far to simplistic (one button is far to simplistic). On the other hand its the exact opposite with BB.

Since when is simple a bad thing. In the old Mario games, you move the stick right and press jump. BOOM! It's tons of fun.

Fable 2's combat is good for just having one button to melee.

But NUNS has the same aspects. You explore through Naruto's village (I can't remeber the name), do quests, etc.

Spamming the physical attack button will get you raped just as fast as spamming A in Smash.  Time for a lesson in video games brought to you by naznatips.

The fighting genre is often (and reasonably) divided into two distinct categories.  Brawlers and Technical Fighters.  Here, we have shining examples of both.  A Brawler uses a simple set of commands to focus on timing and combination of those simple commands.  A Technical Fighter uses complex sequences of buttons to execute the moves necessary to win (these are also the games people call button mashers, cause they are too complicated to spend time learning so people just hammer the buttons and hope that they create a special attack or combo). 

While a Brawler is not as er... complex, I suppose is the word, as a technical fighter, it's easily the much faster genre, and reaction time becomes far more important.  In Ultimate Ninja Storm for example being able to tap the guard button at the perfect moment lets you do a substitution behind your opponent.  Chaining together traps and other items with your attacks, projectiles, and support characters is the way to fight skilfully and dominate your oponenet.  Most importantly, making effective use of speed and momentum. 

To summarize: A Technical Fighter is for the person who likes to pretend he's better than everyone else because he's studied something they don't have the time or desire to learn.  A Brawler is for someone who would rather play a game on equal footing, and have the winner determined by reaction time and skill.

i don't really agree with this.

i can agree that having simplified controls so it's more accessible by beginners is great. but, don't agree that someone just starting should be on equal footing as someone who's played the game longer. this doesn't mean that the beginner will always be worse - only at the beginning.

and i also think that studious knowledge does increase one's actual ability to play the game.

EDIT: forgot the on-topic - i will probably get UNS instead of TBB because it's out now and i haven't treated myself to a naruto game yet. i am slightly disappointed that it doesn't cover sasuke and naruto's big fight and that it only has 25 characters. i guess i'm secretly hoping for DLC... free DLC...

You're missing the point.  If you're a better player, you will still win, but you shouldn't win because of controls and rules the opponent doesn't know about.  You should win because you are faster, smarter, and more capable. 

Also, it includes through Sasuke's and Naruto's fight.  Not sure what you are talking about there.  It does only have 25 characters though, but unlike most Naruto games each character actually plays completely different.

@Goddbless they aren't special.  They are simple and easy to learn.  That's the special part.  People shouldn't be trying to screw with insane button mashing combos to be good at a game. They should be the faster and mroe intelligent player to be the better one.
