Naruto was always bad and will always be on the NDS AND the GBA.
Graphics: wow when i first played ninja council i was shocked when i saw the graphics but when i saw it on this game it hasn´t improved much. So basically graphics are just like the gba version but a bit better.
Controls: well not so bad if you like pressing x continuously... Jutsus and characters: now this is the good stuff you can finally play with 20 characters including jiraiya orochimaru and the rest. Each character has a jutsu and when you ¨do¨ the jutsu you want you will have to do some stuff on the touch screen if you want your jutsu to succeed. This will consist of either moving your stylus up and down, turning left or right, summoning gamabunta style or blow on to the mic.This was actually kinda fun trying it out on every character.
Sound: hmm, not good very simple boring music but overall thats what to expect for a ninja council game.
Value: ok ill be honest here if you really liked ninja council for the gba then i think you will like it on the ds. Oh and if your one of those guys who play naruto chronicles,ultimate ninja heroes or ultimate ninja then you won´t like to play this kind of game because it doesn´t have anything in common with the ps2 and psp games. But if you still want to buy it then i recommend you buy it cheap or borrow it : ).
P.S. (game can get annoying please have patience on some of the missions)
