Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 TGS 2012 video demo - Nixing the dreaded Nine-Tails

If you're a fan of the absurdly popular Naruto anime and manga based on the exploits of exceptional teenage ninjas (that aren't part turtle), have we got a video for you. While roaming the floor at Tokyo Game Show, we got a chance to take on the massive, fox-like Nine Tails in a demo of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 from Namco Bandai. Yep, the name's a mouthful--but we imagine you'll be stunned silent anyway just from how pretty the game looks in motion. See for yourself:

If every boss fight could be on that same level of incredible scope, the world of gaming might very well be a better place. You can expect this encounter and more from Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 when it hits the Xbox 360 and PS3 in Spring 2013.
