All Games in the Naruto: Path of the Ninja Series

The Naruto franchise boasts a wide array of video games, and the Naruto: Path of the Ninja series stands out with its five distinct titles. This article details each game in the series.

Kicking off the Path of the Ninja series is Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō, a 2003 release exclusive to Japan's Bandai WonderSwan Color handheld system. This console, launched in 1999, never saw international distribution, limiting the game's reach. The game's narrative centers on the Land of Waves arc, supplemented by additional missions featuring Team 7.

Another Japan-only title, Naruto: Konoha Senki, developed by Tomy for the Game Boy Advance, arrived in 2003. The game adapts the first 70 anime episodes, encompassing the Land of Waves and Chūnin Exams arcs. Initially, players control only Team 7 and Kakashi, with additional characters unlockable upon progression.

Interestingly, Naruto: Path of the Ninja is the third entry. Also a Tomy production (2004), it initially launched on the Nintendo DS in Japan before a global Game Boy Advance port. The storyline covers the early anime arcs, culminating in the Chūnin Exams.
