BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe announced that the "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy" is scheduled to release for Nintendo Switch on Apr. 26.

After the successful PlayStation 4 (PS4), personal computer (PC) and Xbox One releases of "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy," BANDAI NAMCO announced it will release to Switch next month. The trilogy is a compilation of the high-definition (HD) remasters of the first three Ultimate Ninja Storm titles — "NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM," "NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 2" and "NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 3 Full Burst" — which will tackle Naruto Uzumaki's story from his Ninja Academy days to the Fourth Great Ninja War.

According to BANDAI NAMCO, the trilogy will feature many of the downloadable contents (DLCs) released for the original games including Sasuke's kimono costume. Players will also be able to choose between heroes and villains like Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Pain or Obito Uchiha to lead into battle.

In "NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM," players have the ability to release powerful Jutsu attacks, perform spectacular gymnastic feats of evasive maneuvers and run up walls as well as over water as they battle with their opponents for ninja supremacy. Players will be able to customize the fighting style of their characters and recruit up to two support characters to help them in their battles.

"NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 2" takes players through the Naruto Shippuden story arc. The adventure mode features the beginning of the life of Naruto while the story mode features the battle waged by Naruto and his allies against Akatsuki, an infamous criminal organization.

"NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 3 Full Burst" relives the Fourth Great Ninja War. The HD remaster features a new chapter focusing on Itachi and a new playable character, Kabuto who had reached the almighty Sage mode.
