That's one hell of an awesome announcement.
Damn is the game out yet. I can't believe this entire series has yet to disappoint me once as of yet. I guess I am too skeptical about games these days
What's the release date again? If you say March or some other date that is obviously too far away to even count then I will throw a fit.
EDIT: ALSO F YEAH. I've been waiting to play as Shukakku since the first game. I always kind of thought they were skimping out on a decent awakening for Gaara by not ever giving him that in any of his like...4 different forms.

All members of the Jinchuriki join the war on the official site!
New screenshots show free roaming around a rebuilding Konoha, UNS2-style. In addition to that, Jump Fiesta is this weekend, and there's supposed to be a new trailer shown, so keep your eyes peeled for it. I can only assume that it'll be a HELL of a Christmas present from CC2.

Destructible Cover in the Konoha stage.
Minato's Awakening Special is a Kunai... ...where he does his drop out of the sky Rasengan!
Also, Chouji finally has his butterfly mode!!

So, upon rewatching this clip today, I noticed two things of interest.
One: Chouji is able to hit Asuma with his Ultimate Ninjutsu, while Asuma is in his Tap-Awakened state. It appears that it kicks him out of that state as soon as the Ultimate cutscene starts. This seems like a good balance to keep people from just exploiting it as a way to block Ultimate Jutsus, and offers another way that it's different from the Low Health Awakening Mode.
Two: When Asuma's health goes low in the second bar, it actually swaps from orange to red, and there is text that activates for Chouji that says, "奧義　フィニッシュ　チャンス！！" which means, "Ultimate Ninjutsu Finish Chance!!" So there is now a little alert that will let you know when using your ultimate will defeat your opponent. This is close to something that Piroshi had mentioned in the interview I translated a while back, but it's really neat to see.

Destructible cover is nice to see. I always thought there should be just a little more going on in the stages, but in the instance of the Uchiha secret hideout WHERE THE FUCKING CHAIR WAS INDESTRUCTIBLE I kind of figured it was for the best not to.
Minato looks awesome as usual.
The kicking them out of awakening mode is a great balancing act. That always pissed me off about some of the awakening modes (notably Sussano, Deidara's dragon, etc.) The only feasible way to survive them without taking ALL the damage was to just RUN which kind of sucked. The only work around were using awakening modes from Minato or Guy in response to easily get behind them and start wailing on them.
EDIT: Also on the screen with Minato and Masked Man, check out the L1-R1 prompts on Minato's side of the screen next to his portrait. What does this mean? =o

@Joe: I'm also thinking that with the destructible cover, and different stage sizes, with & without ringouts that the stages will start to make a bigger difference with the battles rather than just being a pretty backdrop.
Also, the L1/R1 change is what now happens in Awakening Mode. You get new jutsu that replace the support character options. Minato's are the ones that I describe in the post with them - he throws his kunai, and if it hits, he does his teleport-drop Rasengan.
Also, the new UI looks SO damn nice.
We get a look at the boss battles with Kakuzu (with Countdown timer), Kinkaku, & Ginkaku - which all look MEGA sweet.
The second scan is the cake though. Shots of ALL the Jinchuriki in combat. I'm especially stoked about Gaara using his sand pyramid, Bee using Samehada, & Yagura using his water mirror, not to mention how FUCKING EPIC the shot of Saiken vs. Matatabi (6-tails vs. 2-tails) is. (I'd love to have Awakening Mode-only battles just to have Biju brawls, without ever swapping to the Jinchuriki).
The second one also has a bit with Naruto that details the "Ultimate Jutsu Finish Chance" ( 奧義　フィニッシュ　チャンス！！
that I mentioned from the Chouji vs. Asuma video. It looks like when that alert pops up, if you finish them off with your Ultimate then, you get an extended dramatic cut scene.
I'm still really hoping for a few things, (given the timeline) that haven't been seen at all yet:
• Tobi vs. Konan Boss Fight
• Playable Edo Nagato with a red-haired Six Paths Awakening Mode.
• Playable Edo Tensei'd previous Kage
• Edo Madara vs. current Kage Boss Fight.
I cannot fucking WAIT for the new trailer to drop.

So guess what hidden character portrait just got found on the official UNS3 website...?
Oh. Hell. Yeah.
Trailer wasn't leaked (no cameras allowed), but it's supposed to drop officially in the upcoming week. Both it, and the playable demo were ALL about the Biju & Jinchuriki.

Japan's actually getting UNS3 on April 18th, so NA/EU are getting it quite a bit earlier. (Not 100% sure why, as it's not stated in any of the news articles, but I'm guessing that it might be due to licensing contracts with the storyline going past where the anime is currently at - especially because that's about the same length that the filler arc lasted).
...ESPECIALLY BECAUSE....
KURAMA CHAKRA MODE LEVEL TWO CONFIRMED!!!!
Additionally, there're six alternate costume DLC confirmed for Japan:
(assumedly the last 5 ones will reach other regions as well, even though they haven't been explicitly confirmed)
• Goku Naruto
• Samurai Naruto
• ANBU Kakashi
• Road to Ninja Sasuke
• Road to Ninja Hinata
• Swimsuit Sakura
Lastly... The Japanese demo is confirmed for February. (NA/EU can probably expect it close to then).
Oh dear god, yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. YES!

Awwwwwww yeah!
I'm really hoping that the alternates all have slightly modified animations for certain attacks, like the Kamehameha-Rasengan that Goku-Naruto uses (and it looks like that might be the case, given the shot of Samurai Naruto). Oh man, I can hardly wait for this.

The PS3 version is 3D compatible, and I have a 3D tv, so… no u. 
Also- Aussie Special Edition Box Art let the cat out of the bag: MADARA IS ON THE COVER OF THE TRUE DESPAIR EDITION!!! (the art has since been removed per some official request, but that basically means he's playable, even though we won't get an official announcement until the anime gets there).
Also: Looks like we're getting 88 characters and 40 stages!!
In alternate costume news, (at least) EU gets… swimsuit Tsunade as well as a Kimono Sasuke, a Schoolgirl outfit Sakura, and an ANBU Itachi!!
