Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 to have 3D support

Well, it’s official: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 (try saying that three times fast) has been unveiled by Namco. While the game isn’t due out until sometime in 2013, Namco did decide to reveal a small tidbit of news related to the fighter.

It will be able to display in 3D. Awesome. It’ll feel like the kunai being thrown at you is really being thrown at you, only for you to look like a moron when you realize it wasn’t. Either way, you can catch the 2D trailer right below, and again, expect Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Gigantic Ninja Hurricane 3 in 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Below the trailer is a press release from Namco.
