''VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStorm3'' is the sequel to ''VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStormGenerations'' and is part of the ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' franchise's ''Naruto: Ultimate Ninja: Storm'' subseries developed by Creator/CyberConnect2. The game was released for PlayStation3 and XBox360 in the United States on March 5, 2013, in Europe on March 8, 2013. Japan will receive it on April 18, 2013. It has been reported to be the last game of the Storm series of the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Games.

*** Two new packs were also added to Xbox Live and Playstation Network. An Akatsuki pack that gives Deidara, Itachi, and Kisame the straw hats and Pain his torn cloak, and one that gives farious costumes to Naruto, including pirate, matador, and leiderhosen.

** They also pronounce "Son Goku" like "Su-hn Guh-ku". This is ''particularly'' egregious considering FUNimation usually does Naruto dubbing and FUNimation also did DragonBall and...well, you get the point.

* {{Troll}}: Right from his first appearence, Tobi shows he loves to mess with people ForTheLulz.

* IThoughtItWasForbidden: I'm just going to keep this short and simple and say every other Awakening and Ultimate Ninjutsu.

** [[spoiler: Fighting them in their Tailed Beast states two at a time.]]

* ShoutOut: Naruto's [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]] costume, and with the Goku costume on, he uses the Rasengan with two hands like the [[KamehameHadouken Kamehameha]].

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Fundamentally different from the series in gameplay only: a Reanimated character, acts as they would if alive, making the "reanimation" purely aesthetic and nothing more. The exceptions are Itachi, [[spoiler: Madara]] and Nagato - the former has a completely new moveset, the latter two don't have "living" versions to function as a new skin for.

* Lee's is even more ridiculous for his flak jacket covers his headband.

** [[spoiler: The Prologue ends with Kushina narrating that "This is the story of a hero [...] a hero I love." At the time, you're led to believe she's talking about Minato, but the ending shows it actually reffers to Naruto. Every line of her speech manages to take on a whole new meaning too.]]

** Kakashi's war outfit is particularly ridiculous, as it changes the kanji on his headband (something you'd probably ''never'' notice in a real match) ''and nothing else!'' And yet it still counts as a proper 'variation' of him.

* WhatTheHellHero: In the sidequest where you have to make Naruto pick whether he likes girls like Hinata or girls like Ino and Sakura, should the first option be picked, Ino and Sakura will start to talk about how someone shy like Hinata would get beat before defeating an enemy and how being shy can get you into trouble and boldness is the way to go...when Hinata is ''right there with them''. That's...surprisingly insensitive for both of them.

That's...surprisingly insensitive for both of them.

** Foo and Torune are a strange example. In the manga, they're explicitly shown being killed as a sacrifice required for Kabuto's reanimation. In the game, you simply never see or here from them again after Sasuke's fight with Danzo, effectively downgrading them to WhatHappenedToTheMouse. (It's still possible they met the same fates the did in the manga offscreen though)

** The whole sequence with Dark Naruto in Chapter 3 evokes {{Persona}}.

* [[spoiler:SparedByAdaptation]]: [[spoiler: Neji Hyuuga, Inoichi Yamanaka, Shikaku Nara, Mabui and Ao. Orochimaru technically inverts this.]]

* AdaptationExpansion: A given, but one that really stands out is towards the end. [[spoiler: Instead of just speaking to the 4 Tails in its mindscape, Naruto instead speaks with ''all'' the preveous Jinchuriki, and learns the names of ''all'' the Tailed Beasts.]]

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Many characters have alternate "war" outfits. This is purely a cosmetic change, they still play exactly the same.
