1. Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō (2003)
Kicking off the Naruto: Path of series is Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō, a 2003 release exclusive to Japan's Bandai WonderSwan Color handheld console. This system, launched in 1999, never saw international distribution, limiting the game's reach. The game primarily focuses on the Land of Waves arc, but also includes additional missions featuring Team 7.
2. Naruto: Konoha Senki (2003)
Another Japan-only title, Naruto: Konoha Senki, was published in 2003 by Tomy for the Game Boy Advance. The game adapts the first 70 episodes of the anime, encompassing the Land of Waves and Chūnin Exams arcs. Initially, players control only Team 7 and Kakashi, with additional characters unlockable upon progression.
3. Naruto: Path of the Ninja (2004)
Interestingly, Naruto: Path of the Ninja, also developed by Tomy, is the third game in the series. Initially released on the Nintendo DS in Japan, it later saw a global Game Boy Advance port. The storyline covers the early anime arcs, culminating in the Chūnin Exams arc.
4. Naruto RPG 2: Chidori vs. Rasengan (2005)
Despite its title, Naruto RPG 2: Chidori vs. Rasengan is a sequel to Naruto: Path of the Ninja, released in 2005 for the Nintendo DS. This Japan-exclusive title follows the Search for Tsunade arc, concluding with Sasuke's escape from Konoha.
5. Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 (2006)
Concluding the series is Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, another Tomy-developed title released in Japan in 2006, with a global release in 2008 for the Nintendo DS. Unlike its predecessors, this game features an original, non-canon storyline centered around the Three Ryūdōin Brothers and an original Anbu character allied with the player.
These five titles, while uniquely named, collectively form a significant part of the Naruto gaming legacy.
