Naruto Purists Rejoice!

Now, I've never even seen Naruto, but as an anime fan, I know how important it is to get subtitled Japanese dubs to avoid bleeding out of your ears from the often subpar English translations and dub work. Sure, they're getting better all the time, but purists prefer the original language if possible. Well, when Naruto: Rise Of A Ninja was released for the Xbox 360, Ubisoft promised a free download via Xbox Live that would let you play with Japanese voices, and today they have delivered.

The official Japanese Naruto voice cast is now available via Xbox Live Marketplace as a free download (only Silver account required!). Just boot up your game, and select XboxLive Marketplace from the main menu, download the Japanese voice package, then activate it in the options and enjoy!

(Now, why this wasn't available as an option at the game's launch is a mystery to me... but better late than never, right?)

This is awesome. Screw the Media industry for pushing region locks on us, this is one of the main reasons I refuse to buy new games. Plus the bloody censroship ruins a lot of games for me.

Providing original cast - which is certainly how most of us enjoy naruto - is a very important step to making the games more enjoyable and fit in better with the franchise.

Yes this was very relieving to hear. I got it pretty much the second it was posted on Live. It was kind of annoying that Ubi was bragging left and right about how they got the original cast. It led me to believe they'd have it available at launch or on the disc. Pre-ordered the game, brought it home, plugged it in... and content is "Coming Soon." :(

Waiting weeks to play the story mode while owning the game was pretty brutal. I find the English voice of the Naruto character absolutely unbearable, and I'm a huge fan of the series so I didn't want to ruin the experience.

Overall though I'm definitely glad the voice pack became available eventually, even if it took a while.
