Namco Bandai Games America has announced that "Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles"will be available this Winter, exclusively for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Based on the hit animated TV series Shonen Jump's Naruto from VIZ Media airing on Cartoon Network, this action adventure title offers players a chance to become Naruto, the aspiring ninja with the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit sleeping deep within. Set in a vividly rendered 3D environment, gamers can play through the story-driven missions to save the Hidden Leaf Village from the threat of evil and fulfill Naruto's dream of becoming the Hokage (leader).

First introduced into the Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine in Japan in 1999, Naruto - by revered creator Masashi Kishimoto - quickly became Japan's most popular ninja manga. In 2000, Naruto was expanded into a series of graphic novels with more than 65 million copies sold in Japan. Naruto consistently ranks as one of the most popular titles serialized in VIZ Media's Shonen Jump monthly manga anthology and one of the top graphic novel titles (also published by VIZ Media) in the United States. VIZ Media was named the Master Licensor in February 2005, obtaining the television, home video and merchandising rights to Naruto for North America and Latin America.
