Naruto TCG

[Guardian X]

I found a Naruto Card Game with all the cards from Series 1-10 I was wondering if this game will be released in English anythime soon.... We can discuss this here... Thanks Naruto Card Game Link (http://www.narutofan.com/index.php/content-naruto%20card%20game,series%201)

[Umbra]

Considering there are no plans to bring the Naruto Anime over here yet, One can bet the card game will be a ways off.

[Guardian X]

OH ok I didnt know that. I was just wondeiring.... Man that sucks.. Thanks for the info..

[Umbra]

In a move I fully believe was entirely made to spite me, the naruto anime was just licenced, thus if it turns out to be mildly popular, we will probably see the tcg

[raccoon_gurl_12345]

They better get good English voice actors or I'll be pissed.

[Mr. Smith]

There have been a few rumors about naruto in canada in about 2 months apperently, I really doubt there true but anythings possible i guess. As for this naruto game, it looks... sort of interesting... sort of.

[Guardian X]

I think the TCG would rock.. When do you think we would see the card game? When do yo uthink we would see the show? What channel do yo uthinkwe will see the show on?

[Umbra]

For show information refer to the official naruto thread in the ANime Discussion forum, this forum is for card games only

[Uriel]

Actually, it's not liscenesed yet.

The rights to liscense it in the US have more or less been sold to a middle man company, but as of now, Naruto is not liscensed.

[Umbra]

Cartoon Network already has it scheduled for third quarter, so it is licenced, we just dont know who.

[Pegasus.J.Crawford]

As long as there are Haku cards I'll play and be happy.

Edit: ShoPro named as Naruto licensor (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/pressrelease.php?id=851)

[assface]

does anyone have translations to the rulebook aswell as spoilers including card effect for the sasuke starter i was thinking of playing

[Lightbinder]

I've just started Naruto card game with some friends and found out that it's quite fun. But is still trying to get accurate translation for the cards effects through... Fav card that i used is Cidori (series 7 jutsu 131).

[Lightbinder]

There's some translation in the link below. But i dont think it's 100% correct...

http://s4.invisionfree.com/funzcentre/index.php?showtopic=203

[Umbra]

Merged the two naruto threads together for convenience sake

[Ultima108]

Looks pretty fun.
I might try to get my friends intrested, but i don't think me or my friends have the patience to be constanly looking up card effects :(
Wish i had enough patience.
Hope it comes out in english.

[Soul-Collector]

Is thier any talk of when this will be relaeased in the US???

[slingblade]

For some reason, i just never felt that anime made to tcgs were good.

For example, these TCGs never interested me:

Digimon
DBZ/GT
Inuyasha
Knights of the Zodiac
YuYu Hakusho
Megaman NT Warrior
Shaman King
Pokemon

But Yu-Gi-Oh! was different. It wasn't like I saw yugi and the dorks on cards. it was a real card game not with anime in it.

I personally think you're wrong cause the InuYasha, Megaman, Shaman King, and YYH card games RAWK I play all of them and they have solid game play and I know many that would agree with me on this one.

[Hiro]

Why is Yugi different form other amine card games? Because, its not form the anime, it's somethign different. As for Pokemon as well. They don't use the show for the card's. Do the show's help the card's sell, God yes. That is why the both are great popular. Anime card games to struggle with, when the series die's, its hard to keep it going, or if the anime is not popular, it's not going to do that well. Then most the company's don't even bother with advertiseing. That would greatly help them. DBZ/GT is one of the few anime card games that has lasted a long time.

[inakaotaku]

Hey, has anyone heard anything about the Naruto TCG? I heard about it here: http://naruto.viz.com/site_1024.html

[ekieki]

I've heard that it EXISTS, but other than that, not much. I'll tell you if I can find any more information on it. Like anything naruto, it's likely to become popular.

[kEviN21]

havent heard of it......but it better be as popular as yugioh is....... :D .........it should also go witht the tv series unlike yugioh

[inakaotaku]

Hm, I guess it isn't supposed to be here until next year anyway. Naruto is popular. I'm happy about that. I'm happy it started showing on CN. I heard that in October Hot Topic will be carrying Naruto merchandise. As much as I don't like to shop at Hot Topic, I'm pretty happy to be able to get that locally, so I don't have to pay postage.

[Umbra]

i merged the new thread with the preexisting one.

seems a bit early to release the tcg but whatever,

it should also go witht the tv series unlike yugioh

I fully beleive the reason yugioh is/can be so popular and the reason that it lasts so long is that it does not fully rely on the series

[ekieki]

Hah; I found the japanese CCG website: Here!~ you can even get previews of what the cards'll look like.

http://www.carddas.com/naruto/

[shadowxmax]

The card game looks good but will it come out in America?

[Himura363]

Yes. The Official Naruto Dub Website proves it: http://naruto.viz.com/site_1024.html. Go under Products, click TCG. All info there.

[inakaotaku]

Of course, they don't say when it will come out... Hmph.

[Himura363]

But there will be more details in October, so stay tuned ;)

[shadowxmax]

Himura363:Thanks for the site! :)

inakaotaku:It said it will come out early in 2006

[digifox]

cant weait till its out in the us

[Cha0s S0ldier]

Anyone have a translation of the rulebook?(The link given earlier in this thread doesnt work,and google isnt doing much)

Edit~~

Nevermind guys,i found it(thanks to some help from another forum).

This card game seems to be set up very well and i think it will be extremely fun.(And Challenging)

Im seriously hyped about this game,it seems really fun and easy to get into.

Naruto CCG

Your Encampment 　
This involves your own resources. When your cards are present in game, in most circumstances, you may use them. These cards are officially in-play.

Enemy Encampment 　
This involves your opponent's resources. When these cards are present in game, in most circumstances, your opponent may use them.

Hand 　
These cards are held in your hand and faced away from your opponent. This means you cant see what is on your opponents cards, but you can see how many they have.

Victory Points 　
This relates to points that have been gained from battle victories. When you achieve a victory condition, your attack is succesful, and you gain a victory card. You keep these cards face down.

Chakra 　
Chakra cards are stored, they are required to use technique cards later on.
It is listed on each card. Players can check the cards for chakra requirements.


Storing Chakra 　
Specified cards can be moved to the chakra store area.
At this point, chakra must be stored in the store area.

Discarding 　
Cards which are in the discard pile can no longer be used.
The discarding requirements are listed on each card. Players can check on the card.

A ninja's knowledge and wisdom has an effect when undertaking an "Intellectual Battle". Ninja cards without "Intelligence：X" on them are treated as though they have no intelligence points. Furthermore, a ninja's intelligence is not affected by any injuries they may have.

Contradict 　
This is when someones playing of a card is 'countered' or stopped. The cost of playing the card is not returned to the player.

Combat Decisions 　
In the combat phase or when there is a clash, the team that was dispatched makes combat decisions according to the combat method.

Intellectual Battles 　
As a combat decision, a team may decide to process the battle using intellectual power rather than combat power.

A coin is thrown, then after it lands, a judgment is made using the opposite side. The coint must have a different pattern on either side. Either side is declared before throwing. When throwing the coin, it needs to exeed 15cm in height, and spin at least a few times.

Shuffling 　
The deck is split and then mixed together. Shuffle the deck yourself and then your opponent shuffles the deck lightly.



Thats just a little sample,if you want the full rulebook translation/card translations just Let me Know via PM or Email.

And if anyone here is familiar with the program called Magic Workshop i have the naruto CCG files for that so it can be played over the internet(like YVD)
(I still havnt figured the program out though,its confusing)

[UzumakiNaruto]

Well the Viz Naruto site says that there will be actual pictures of the American CCG in October. So we should get a lot more information about the game sometime in the next few days.

-UzumakiNaruto-

[Cha0s S0ldier]

Yeh,hopefully they will start adding info for it soon,im pretty hyped out this one.

[/\/eO]

Not to advertise for anything but if you head over to http://www.xer0creative.com they are working on a YVD version for the Naruto TCG I believe and they have translated most of the stuff on their Naruto TCG dedicated website.

[mølla]

the link doesent work btw i dont think this game wil be a giga sucses but i think it wil at a zatch bell ccg level

[Cha0s S0ldier]

the link doesent work btw i dont think this game wil be a giga sucses but i think it wil at a zatch bell ccg level

http://www.narutotcg.com/

that should work.

[UzumakiNaruto]

I'd imagine that they won't be copying the japanese CCG exactly how it is, but most of it. The american version will probably have some new twists that the japanese CCG doesn't have. I could be wrong though, but that's why I think it's pretty pointless for Xero to make a NVD (Naruto Virtual Desktop? lol), since the game may be different.

I'm excited about it too. Hopefully they will have a well built tournament system that gives out a lot of cash! Since I'll be broke after buying Naruto cards when they come out. Well I guess since they come out in April (which is when my birthday is), that I might be able to pull some strings and save some money. =)

Bandai definitly doesn't want to screw this game up if they want to make money. I've lost trust in Score Entertainment. This will be the last TCG that I try with a company other than UDE. If it doesn't work out, I'll stick with Yugioh until the end.

Do you guys think Bandai will do well or...?

-UzumakiNaruto-

[Cha0s S0ldier]

I really dont think they would change any of the gameplay mechanics and stuff like that.

[mølla]

like i said i think this game wil be as popular as zatch bell ccg

[UzumakiNaruto]

It will be way more popular than Zatch Bell in my opinion. There are more fans out there for this anime than there is for Zatch Bell and most other animes. Maybe all of them. So I really doubt it will be at Zatch Bell's level. Especially if Bandai ends up doing good with everything that has to do with the Naruto CCG.

Chaos - They may not. Who knows. Only time will tell.

-UzumakiNaruto-

[Cha0s S0ldier]

It will definetly be more popular than Zatch bell.

Naruto already has a huge fan base just from people watching the japanese Subs,and it will get even bigger from people watching the Dub.

I think it could be DBZ TCG level...if Bandai does this right.

[UzumakiNaruto]

Pfft...if Bandai does this right, you could see something like Yugioh, or atleast close to it. Don't think any game will ever get the amount of players Yugioh has. Same for Magic the Gathering.

-UzumakiNaruto-

[mølla]

no fullmetal alchemist anime i s giga popular but the ccg whent strait to hell, so almost no game based on an anime wil be a giga sucsess, but it wil be popular. and just because peoples like the anime they may dont want to play the tcg and one piece anime has a big fan base too, but the ccg its not popular.

[UzumakiNaruto]

FMA is pretty damn popular, but not as popular as Naruto. 400,000 people downloaded Naruto fansubs, weekly, before it was aired on Cartoon Network. There are probably even more now. I mean they're airing it 4 times a week for a reason ya know...

-UzumakiNaruto-

[slasher]

I think it could be DBZ TCG level...if Bandai does this right.
you do mean the old one right??? if you mean the new one we are all screwed

[Cha0s S0ldier]

you do mean the old one right??? if you mean the new one we are all screwed

Ya,the old one lol.

[UzumakiNaruto]

LOLz. Ya know what, I care about the player base, but I don't care at the same time. I'm so addicted right now that it doesn't matter to me. Haha. I'll play Naruto, no matter what happens.

-UzumakiNaruto-

[Cha0s S0ldier]

Ya,the fan base doesnt matter that much to me either,the main reason im getting into this game is for collecting(Me want Kakashi cards!!) and for playing it with my little cousin.

A solid fan base would be good though,it allows for more trading and chances to play against more people.

Does anybody have an idea when this is going to release,i hope it isnt to long.

[UzumakiNaruto]

Nobody really knows exactly. It says Spring 06 in some places and other places say early 06. Right now, it seems Bandai is having problems just posting the pictures of the game on the main site. They are probably slacking off a little like Score does. Just this bothers me...

-UzumakiNaruto-

[Cha0s S0ldier]

Well they said check back in October,October isnt over yet lol.

[UzumakiNaruto]

lol I know that. It's just the fact that they are waiting until the end of October. It's taking too long damnit! @_@

So... according to you Bandai (a licensee) has told Viz (A Licensor) to shut down part of their official site.

I think you meant to say, Viz said that Bandai would give pics in October, and didn't deliver them and then Viz redesigned their site and took the TCG section down.

Unless you had personal contact with Bandai here, don't assume that it's their fault. Usually game companies don't start promoting a game that far out of it's release. Work is being done on the game, it's a 1st quarter release, which means January to March. My money would be on March.

[Koli_Xela]

I can PERSONALLY state that Bandai is working on the game, the crew apparantly has cards they are playing around with or a translation of the game. The game will release in April and it's likely we will see a preview of it at Gamma Trade Show in March (sorry, it's a retailers only event)

I have spoken with the crew (and the translator) and from what they are allowed to say the rules have stayed the same (as with One Piece)... They are aware of the fanbase and know that there are a lot of people awaiting this game. With luck Cartoon Network will drop Bandai a nice advertising slot on the weekly shows for the anime. No news on advertising plans as of yet (at least nothing they told me)

I have seen nothing nor heard anything about the Viz site and why there are not pics up of the cards there

GAMA, not Gamma ;o) I'll be there in March. I look forward to spending some time talking to Andrew, he's helped us out alot. I hope they do pre-releases for the game, if they do and you're in Portland make sure you stop by Rainy Day Games.

Just remember that you can't advertise a product related to a kids show during the show. It has to do with kids not being able to differentiate advertisements from shows, and then the cartoon has just become a 30 minute advertisement.

Bandai Collectible games will launch the Naruto CCG with starters and booster exclusively into the hobby in late March of 2006, simultaneously offering casual play league kits and organized play through their "Meijin" program. Two more expansions will follow in July and October 2006 with a special gift set in November.

Well, Thundercharge was printed pretty much to order, the sets before that had low overprints and are sold out as well. WotC has been sending the Player Rewards cards as tournament cards. They cut the invitational tournaments this year, and odds are they also cut the plane trips as well. That's a lot of support to lose.

matbe it has sold much then! but hallo we are doing som serious spaming on this thread so lets stop we all have differen opinions

[Koli_Xela]

Well Naruto will be hobby exclusive for the release... thats a GOOD thing (ask any Shaman King player why)... You will see it at Mass Market Retailers a little while after release, you will see a fair amount of tournaments available in April (when it's released) most of us Mejin are patiently awaiting the release (I know of 3 CASES being cracked first day...)

As for WOTC telling you that DM is doing well.... firstly they are NEVER going to admit that the game is declining (and if you check around nationally it's on a decline for a little while now..) Ask a Shaman King player how honest e-mail responses from the game companies are.

(Shaman King died to lack of advertisement, delays on release, mass market exclusive release and a few other factors... releasing to hobby stores first is always the better idea since they get you immediate interest (you already have CCg gamers in a hobby shop) following with mass market after that. UDE has been noted to send out e-mails saying the next set of Shaman King has been delayed but is still scheduled when they have admitted in interviews that the game was cancelled and have been officially shelved.)

It just seems that now that your arguments have been countered, all of the sudden you have an uncle who works for WotC. But he doesn't have a big job, so he wouldn't have access to sales reports....

It's been rumored that the Naruto TCG will be released on US shores March of '06. I for one will be a big fan of the game, as long as it can thrive in my current MTG heavy area. I was the same with Hecatomb, I supported that game to the fullest before and right after it came out. But I came to realize that in my area "If it isn't MTG it wont last long". The only reason Ygo is so big everywhere, and why it outsells MTG is because it appeals to a TOTALLY different croud of people. MTG players tend to be on the smarter side of life, They put much more thought into what they do, while Ygo players are just little kids with rich parents or people that think "They're the best", As the Yugioh TCG promotes just that type of attitude.

I really do wish the Naruto TCG the best of luck, I really do. But if it doesnt make it very far, Just like so many other TCGs in the past. I for one, will not be surprised.

Just my :twocents: on the subject.

Also, If you want to check out the majority of the rules for the japanese Naruto TCG, You can go to NarutoTCG.com (http://www.narutotcg.com).

We'll be running tournaments for it at Rainy Day Games! We rarely commit this far ahead to supporting a game, but this will get tons of support from us.

Also, If you want to check out the majority of the rules for the japanese Naruto TCG, You can go to NarutoTCG.com.

Just a heads up that their spoilers are lacking information, as is the translation of the rules. It's the most complete on the web, but that's because it's the only one on the web right now.

i think naruto wil start oute as an big hit in maybe a month or somthing but it will go down after that, thats what happend in japan its started oute amazingly popular but started to dye oute alittle bit, and just because the anime is popular doesent mean that the tcg will be it just look at fullmetal alchemist zatch bell one piece and inu yasha those games faild

Yup, Naruto died really quickly in Japan. They have released over 10 sets, just to beat the dead horse. Yup, it's dead. Inuyasha too. I mean, people post on the forums for it here all the time, but it's dead. Cards sell for over $100 all the time on ebay for it, but that's because it's dead now. People like throwing money away.

[mølla]

dying naruto was number 3 before now number 6 and inuyasha in america is just dead no tournaments no magazine adds nothing and it hasent its own site on pojo

[draculaskid]

I was reading the japanese site and it looks complicated to learn. but so did yu-gi-oh when it came out. ill give it a try and see what happens

[-=BlackKnight=-]

dying naruto was number 3 before now number 6 and inuyasha in america is just dead no tournaments no magazine adds nothing and it hasent its own site on pojo

So, Inorder for a game to be popular. It has to have a pojo site? Naruto is still a very big game in japan. Has been since it came out. They wouldnt release over 10 sets if the game wasnt thriving.

And Inuyasha is a VERY popular game here in the US now days, It started slow but it's been picking up alot of popularity recently. I've actually concidered playing.

Inyasha has the best kind of advertisment. Better than pojo, better than magazine. It's called the TV. Everytime they play an episode of the Inyasha anime, And angel get it's wings..Err, I mean another person starts playing Inuyasha. It is it's own type of advertisement. I doesnt need magazine adds. And I'm pretty sure if the game picked up enough popularity, Pojo.com would open an Inuyasha webpage.

Please check out all of the facts before you assume something.

Wow... #6, from your random list, is dead. I'd hate to be all the other TCGs on the market below #5.

http://www.pojo.com/inuyasha/ - It's coming.

No tournaments? Huh... The World Champion who got a unique card signed by the Inuyasha creator must be pissed that they don't run tournaments. He must have had his name pulled out of a hat. Oh wait, they have large events at most major conventions.

When this game comes out will you play or collect?

I collect every TCG I play. If I play the game I want at least one of every card. Some games I have collected 4 copies of each set.

I think I'll be playing this one, but I'm not 100% sure yet.

[mølla]

i havent time to do that because when i playd zatch bell i just bougth a box of the newest set and in alittle over a month a new set is comming oute :eek: and i am only 14 and doesent work, can only buy with my allowence i dot got a chance to collect hole sets but it would be cool :D

Well, the Zatch Bell set came out in October, so there has been plenty of time to collect. The timing of expansions is one of the most important things in a TCG. You need to get them out often enough that the players don't forget about the game, and not too quickly to overwhelm the players.

I admit, I'm an adult and have a decent job. I can afford to collect complete sets. With trading it only took me 4 boxes of Inuyasha Kassen to get a set minus hidden rares.

[mølla]

inuyasha is the only series that i have gotten a hole set of i am very lucky at the inu front

OH and i almost forgot i got a complete set of duel masters dm-06 i wanted bolemeetus so much that i bougth atlest 5 boxeses

A wonder how much these packs will cost if they will run 2-2.50 a pack or be like yu-gi-oh and run like 4.99 a pack

since bandai makes them and all theyr tcg/ccg runs at 3.99 i think naruto will do the same

^Yeah, thats prolly true. I guess I'll try it out if it ever happens to be printed. I mean, I tried the fullmetal alchemist tcg....

It all depends how they are packed. I'm betting they will be between $3.50 - $3.99. They might be cheaper if they pack them like japanese TCGs in 5 card packs.

hmmmmmmmmmm i think bandai like to be traditional and make them either 9 or 10 cards a pack

[yuyuman345]

ok now iwill comment
now the thing is that i agree is that bandai is very lazy what i think is since most of there games have beeen flops seeing how zb got popular somewhat now i think naruto will be popular but if bandai gets 2 lazy i dought this game will survive plus ban dai i can say (being a zb player) has the lousiest advertising i have ever seen but i dont know that outcome i want it to live but i just dont know
to molla
were do u find the top ten list could u post a link and also i have seen a dramatic change in dm i mean its slow and ppl r getting bored i myself played and relizedmagic is better but i think it can manage but post that link
now about naruto i think i willplay sounds fun but im gunna wait and see

[mølla]

were did ya fin the info that zb is popular:confused:
and aboute dm i have to disagree with ya its till number 4 and its very popular
just go to a release tournamnet the one in Ny had over 120 particapents and its has more tournamnets than zatch bell,inu yasha,fma and many other games, and at the dm-09 release tournamnet its had more stores signing up than for the yugioh sneek peek, i am not trying to be rude and i respect your opinion, plus ya cant judge a games condition oute of a forum i have to addmite that the dm forum on pojo is preatty slove right now but just look at oure topics its just this time periode its nothing to talk aboute, exept trading, but the 5 civ tournamnet is closing up and the cc is comme soon too.
plus the officiale one is active 24-7 and i have seen a big growth of members ther.

[yuyuman345]

look i believe zb is popular right now because the creativity is getting better and my friend r quitting dm very fast like at alternate universes we usually had a 13-15 ppl tourney now there lucky to have 4 ppl the rise of fma killed dm at my store now the other thing how do u get the information that says "dm is 4th" im trying to find it if you could link it that be awesome but you see dm in my opinion is a VERY SLOW GAME i used to play alot but magic is soo much better so i gave it up but if you can show me where it says "dm is 4th" then could you because i really dought it at this point

[mølla]

hey man ya cant sey dm is dead and unpopular just becaus its slow in your store, and we all use scrye magazine to locate haw a game is doing its the best guide on that that is official, and i live in NEW york and if zb is so popular as you sey why do i need to begg the store owner to take in new sets and even the biggest hobby shop said he wont take it in because of sales:(
don`t get me wrong i play and love zatch bell and i wish it would be more popular ,btw are ya a member of zatchbellccg.com what are your member name so i recognize ya maybe on the forum:p
btw again at new york a at a normal jdc tournamnet we get around 30 and on our bigg ones like 5civ and releas we hit up to 120 and in ny ther are 16 stores that hold tournamnet 2-3 times a week, and the smales store get the smalest amount, the smales store get around 14-16 and look at the new sets of dm each one better than the other

[yuyuman345]

ok just to let you know my username is the same on every site i join i have always been known as yuyuman345 so look for me i understaind i wish zb was alittle better advertised but what im glad about is they are starting zb leagues at tru so we will be getting more ppl into the game i think there is an interest but ppl dont understaind the game they will quit but i think zb is getting a big break with the new leagues also plz link me to where it says the top 10 popular games that would help

[mølla]

yes i will look for ya;)
and the scrye magazine dont post it online they only publish theyr list in theyr magazine so soory no link

Long time... you mean by the first expansion?

Most games don't do pre-releases for the first set. It's hard to run events for games that no one knows how to play.

Yup... a game with 14 sets is a flop. Obviously it did well enough for 14 sets.

I don't think the game is that complex. I've yet to play it, but I have read the rules. I think the english version is better. There are some small differences from the japanese version which are a great improvement.

Oh, and the cards look much cooler.

[OLysergO]

I am definitely going to play naruto, i just started working so i'll have enough for a box, since i heard its the most popular anime on tv or something like that i think it will be a hit, even though bandai hasnt done so good in its promotion (i didnt even know they had a one piece ccg) i think naruto is going to be a hit since a lot of people knew about it even before it came to the U.S. even if it isnt a big hit, one piece wasnt and it still had championships so i dont mind as long as i can compete =]

[mølla]

just because its a hit on tv dont mean the ccg will be, just look at fullmetal alchemist,inuyasha and one piece all mager flopps but theyr anime scores over a million vieweres, so dont be too sure and bandai is a lousey companie
and the naruto anime in japan is so popular it has over 5 million vieweres every week in japan, but the ccg berraly makes it oute ther in japan.

[OLysergO]

great molla, listen, keep your negativity elsewhere, you seem to be the first one to always report some type of con, so why don't you post somewhere else? What I type is MY OWN opinion, and it doesn't need yours. If i think Naruto will be a hit, I do, you're not a psychic for crying out loud we all no what you think, so if you're not gonna pay and you think it's gonna fail why bother even posting?

[mølla]

u dont need to be so angry i dident sey anything bad aboute u, i have the right to sey my point a view and speak my mind, and i havent said that u dont have the right to sey wath u mean, i dont cear if u think it wil be a hit, everyone has different opinions, and dont sey i`m all negative have you read my post eanywere but this thread... i dont think so, so dont call me negative because i think a game were licensed by the wrong companie and have an unclear future:mad:
and its not respectfull judge one person because of one or 2 negative posts,
and even worse just because of 2 posts that were negative then go and call me an angry negative person.
I THINK ITS TIME FOR U TO GROW UP!!!:mad:

and if i`m not gonna play have i ever said anything aboutethat i dont, i have played this game in japanese for almost 3 years and i have said constantly that i`m gonna trye it , so know your facts before u speak

[draculaskid]

Look no one knows what will happen with this game unless they have a delorean that can go to the future. we all have our own pro's an con's to this game. Molla you said you've played this game for 3 years in japanese, i think you would have more info on this cause you've been playing it so you would have to get the updates. we have our own opions on this so nobody take it to heart or even start a fight on the fourm.

I bought mine off ebay since I dont know where to find Shonen Jump, i'm going to start playing avatar too, even if it isn't a big hit i just want to go to tournaments and have fun. I cant wait to get my box of naruto. Are there any other new ccgs coming out soon?

[mølla]

[OLysergO]

I preordered to booster boxes of naruto and bought the two starter decks =]

[draculaskid]

went to my local BN an bought the new shonen jump mag. an they have a list of the naruto cards in there, might want to check them out.

[OLysergO]

Actually I've been monitoring the official bandai forums and i've seen the whole card list and what the super rares are, I made sure to preorder two boxes so I could try to get all of them and if I don't, atleast have enough cards to trade for the rest of the set =]

i hope ya get all the card u want and need;)

[OLysergO]

Has anyone been to the site lately? They ALREADY have tournaments set up for naruto, that is more then I can say for avatar or shaman king when they came out, I know bandai is not the best, but atleast they arent gonna let people waste their money on products and not hold tournaments, i'm excited!

hmmmmmmmmmm tournamnets, its people that get kits to demonstarte the game not a release tourney or anything i think

[draculaskid]

April 28th.

Here are my thoughts about the game
a. It looks really fun and me and my friends are really exited for it.
b. The rules seem simple, and the only complex part is the chains.
c. I tried to see how it would look in a Magic sized sleeve and it was too big...(did anyone else notice this? or is my card just defective?)
d. I am going to pwn you all in it.
e. Who said there was going to be an e? Stop just assuming stuff, shesh.:rolleyes:

[draculaskid]

ya i hope my town hold's tournaments.

If you check the official Bandai/Naruto website, they have a list of comic/hobby shops currently holding a Release tournament. You can go and win cards, a shirt featureing the image of the promo card you get for entering and probably product if you place in the top 4.

The closest Release tournament to me is in San Jose, which is about an hour 1/2 away.. :(

I for one am going to play this game, no questions about it. I've played the japanese game a few times with a few friends of mine. And if they keep the english game the same as the japanese, I think the Naruto TCG might pick up alot of popularity.

they have changed the design of the cards that i dont like, and they have changed 2 of the major rules and keep in mind its BANDAI that are managing this game, BANDAI( THAT HAVE KILLED SO MANY HIT TCGS FROM JAPAN)
i hope its get popular
