The game was released on September 30, 2004, in Japan, June 12, 2007 in North America, and October 2007 in the PAL region.
Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3, known as in Japan as Naruto: Narutimate Hero 3 (NARUTO ナルティメットヒーロー3, Naruto: Narutimetto Hīrō 3), is the third installment of the fighting game series Naruto: Ultimate Ninja and the third and final installment of the Hero series in Japan. The game was released in Japan on December 22, 2005, and the rest of the world in 2008.

The game introduces Naruto Shippūden characters for the first time, featuring 52 playable characters. Other changes include the introduction of fixed ultimate jutsu, which change as health decreases or if the player enters any secondary mode. The graphical style of the game has also been toned down, retaining the anime look. The RPG mode (now called Master Mode) is heavily expanded, now featuring a more action-oriented gameplay and explore the massive world of Naruto (unlike the previous games which had a more sandbox-style gameplay). This is the last Naruto game that features an English dub.
The game only covers halfway through the Kazekage Rescue arc in the Shippuden storyline (roughly at episode 15 in the anime), though to make up for the lack of story, a new arc is created for the game that takes place before the Shippuden storyline called the "Black Shadow". Hero's History mode from Ultimate Ninja 3 is also retained, now retelling the events of the original series more faithfully and includes completely redone and improved scenes from Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 as well as redone CGI scenes.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 5, known in Japan as, Naruto Shippuden: Narutimate Accel 2 (NARUTO 疾風伝 ナルティメットアクセル2, Naruto Shippuden: Narutimetto Akuseru 2), is the fifth installment in the Ultimate Ninja series and the second installment of the Accel series in Japan, and was released in Japan on December 20, 2007.

The game features 62 characters and continues the Naruto Shippuden storyline, starting over to Kazekage Rescue arc, and going up to the end of Sasuke arc, following the manga covers the events up to episode 53 in the anime (the anime had not finished working on the arc at the time). One of the new gameplay additions is the introduction of assist characters. Assist characters are chosen during character selection, and can be called in during a match to deal extra damage. Certain combinations of characters create unique jutsu in a match; these combinations reflect the associations of those characters in the anime and manga. Many of the character's jutsu from the previous game were updated. There are many updated ultimate jutsu, including the aforementioned assist-specific ones. Summons have been removed from the game. The assist characters cannot be turned off. The game retains the RPG mode from previous game, now allowing the player to control characters other than Naruto (such as Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake). However, the Hero's History mode that retells the events of the original series have been discarded, though the characters itself remain in the game. It was also the last of the Ultimate Ninja Series for the PlayStation 2, therefore being the final installment of the Ultimate Ninja Series under the series' original name in the west.
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes is a North American and European-exclusive fighting game and the first installment of the Heroes series in the west. It was released in North America on August 28, 2007 and in Europe on September 14, 2007. It is essentially an edited version of Naruto: Narutimate Portable, serving as a prequel to the next game, as the Japanese dub is not included in this game, essentially turning the game into a scaled down version of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2.
