Naruto : Ninja Council 2

Game Overview
Naruto: Ninja Council 2 came out on the Game Boy Advance in 2006, developed by Tomy Corporation. It was one of many licensed games on the system, arriving late in the handheld's life when players were used to tight, sprite-based action. You guide Naruto and his friends through a series of missions based on the early arcs of the anime.You control Naruto, Sasuke, or Sakura, each with unique jutsu and basic attacks for navigating side-scrolling stages and defeating enemies. The main goal involves completing missions across different locations, often culminating in boss fights against familiar foes like Zabuza or Orochimaru. Key mechanics include switching characters on the fly to use their specific abilities, collecting power-ups to enhance attacks, and solving simple environmental puzzles to progress. The pacing is brisk, with short levels that can feel repetitive but suit portable play, and the difficulty remains manageable without much frustration. It feels straightforward and faithful to the source material, offering a decent distraction for fans at the time.
