LOS ANGELES - Oct. 14, 2008

TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher, publishers of interactive entertainment software, have announced that NARUTO: Path of the Ninja 2 for Nintendo DS™ has shipped to stores and will be in retail outlets across North America. Based on the hit animated series by VIZ Media, Path of the Ninja 2 has players leading a hand-picked squad of Hidden Leaf Village’s best fighters against a group of rogue ninja in the only NARUTO role-playing franchise available in the U.S.

“We put a lot of work into making Path of the Ninja 2 a worthy sequel to its predecessor,” said Mark Shinohara, executive vice president and chief operating officer at TOMY Corporation. “There are more characters, more attacks, and an improved battle system, so it should appeal to anyone who likes RPGs, not just NARUTO fans.”
