A New Trailer for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 “Road to Boruto” Is Here!

Naruto is back! Believe it!

Bandai Namco released a new trailer today showcasing some of the new content players can expect from the upcoming Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 expansion: Road to Boruto.

Arriving nearly a year after the main title’s initial release, Road to Boruto follows the adventures of Naruto’s son, Boruto, and his friends in the new ninja world. The additional story is filled with familiar faces and newcomers alike. The highly cinematic experience will feature brand new battles to win and areas to explore.

The original Naruto manga ended on November 10, 2014. Since that time, the story has continued through its anime, feature films, and sequel manga titled Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. The monthly syndicated Boruto manga will soon receive an anime adaptation planned to release in April.

Owners of the main game can purchase the additional content for $19.99 on PSN, XBL, and Steam. Bandai Namco is also offering a bundled physical release, containing the original game, its season pass content, and the new expansion for $49.99.

The Moon and Arturo Sanchez to Appear in CBS Drama “Elementary” [EDIT]

Edit: Just as this story went live, another Smasher was announced as a cameo, with fellow New Yorker DJ Nintendo joining Arturo and The Moon as extras in this Elementary episode.

Original story: Forget your ESPN, esports players are branching out into acting. As part of the CBS drama series Elementary, Super Smash Bros. Melee player MSF|The Moon and Street Fighter player TS|Arturo “Sabin” Sanchez are set to feature in an upcoming episode in February. Now I know what you are thinking, what does a modern day adaptation of Sherlock Holmes set in New York have to do with fighting games?

Talking to theScore eSports, writer and producer on Elementary Jeffrey Paul King stated that the episode in question involves a streamer being murdered during one of his streams. As the case continues, Holmes and Watson eventually end up at a gaming house, where The Moon, Arturo and other esports players will cameo as the duo investigate. Let’s hope neither of them are involved in plotting the murder.

With King being a big Melee fan and the two players being New York natives, the planets have perfectly aligned for these cameos. While this may be the first time esports players have appeared on network TV, it is not the first time that fighting games have appeared on Elementary. King previously inserted an Smash Bros. related Easter egg into an episode of Elementary back in November, with “Silent Wolf” and “Hungrybox” being two Post-It notes on a wall of potential evidence. The Elementary episode is set to air on CBS at 10pm on February 19th, so set your recorders for then and look out for the highly improbable buddy cop spin-off, starring Arturo and The Moon sometime in 20XX.
