Merged, FGJ! 
I wonder if they'll break the character selection into "Vanilla" & "Shippuden" sections to prevent clutter, and make choosing the proper character easier. I also wonder if they'll keep the basic combat & support combat modes the same as UNS2, or modify them.
(I always wished that Vanilla Naruto & Sasuke's final battle forms were unlocked as DLC for UNS2, since you use them in the flashback sequence)

No, it's not something that I coined myself, but there are other series that when there's an original game/story/etc that has a followup that uses the name, "vanilla" is a way of referring to the original. (The term "vanilla" actually comes from referring to the original, unmodified version of computer software, when there are other versions released later).
"StarCraft" & "StarCraft: BroodWar" use the term a lot in referring to the two as "BroodWar" & "Vanilla" since "StarCraft" refers to the series in its entirety. It's almost the exact same thing with "Naruto" & "Naruto: Shippuden", but I don't think that there's been much need to differentiate the Vanilla & Shippuden versions before, especially in a game, since it will either be in one setting or the other. Since Generation will be using both versions of the characters side by side, and there's no official term for the original series that clearly excludes, I just started using it to differentiate.
You could just as easily say "original" & "Shippuden" but the term Vanilla came up, probably because I've been posting in StarCraft boards again lately.

The same goes with Baldur's Gate. When you say "Vanilla" you mean it's an unmodified version of the game, not having added NPC's, quests, etc.

Yeah I did kind of want both of their final forms too (in regards to vanilla Naruto & Sasuke.)
I also hope they bring back the ability to start off a fight in awakening mode/final form. They would have to take it out for online play, but for free play it'd be grand.

Seriously, I would LOVE to see them bring back Awakening Mode Combat. I was especially sad that UNS2 didn't have it, because everyone had a decent Awakening Mode. (Yes, I'm fully aware that Awakening Mode battles would have been broken as all hell in UNS2, but I still think that they would've been entertaining for local vs. battles).

Yeah they removed it at the same time they included online play. If they were aiming for balancing the game they should of just nerfed Chiyo (a friend and I have recently discovered she is exploitable as the best character in the game.)
I'd love to see its return. I want a Lee vs Guy eight gates fight, in their UNS2 styles.

Speaking of Awakening Modes, I'm wondering what some of the new ones will be.
I'm hoping that Kisame will get his 0-Tailed Beast form, because it really gives him a proper level of crazy new fighting styles, and could let him deal Chakra damage.
I'm assuming that with Haku's Awakening Mode. He'd have a Ninjutsu-like attack that'd be high speed series of attacks, or maybe an ice attack of some kind. I'd bet that his dash would just be appearing through a mirror, like the Yellow Flash for Minato's Awakening Mode in UNS2.
Zabuza's could be really exciting, if they find an interesting way to perform his 'silent killing technique' of being shrouded in Mist, and appearing behind an opponent with single, powerful attacks, though it's rather complicated in execution. Ultimate Justu of the Water Dragon, and a normal Ninjutsu with Water Prison could make him really interesting.
A (Raikage) would have his lightning speed mode that we saw in the recent chapter, though I also have to wonder if he'll have one or two arms in combat.
I'm wondering if characters like Itachi & Asuma will have a vanilla & Shippuden form. Kakashi could conceivably have one, since we've seen him evolve and his techniques change, but I don't think that the other two would necessarily justify having one.
(What's Chiyo's technique that you figured out with her?)

I agree with a lot of that and I actually think people should write to the guys making this game to assure we get this level of awesomeness.
Let's remember though that the storm games follow the anime and NOT the manga. Judging from where we are in the anime, you've gotta gather we won't be much further than we were with the last game as far as the story goes. This is definitely why they are focusing on a bigger character roster, to make up for the lack of additional story.
Gotta take this into account with character's modes and abilities. We can pretty much guarantee though that Kisame will be better. He's probably one of the more plain characters in the last two games, due to his lack of exposure on the battlefield to that point in the anime.
(It's just a way of fighting with her. You can pretty much keep all attacks off you and deal a ton of damage without actually doing much with the controller. Gets annoying.)

I'm still catching up in the Anime, since I'd stopped watching forever ago, and only caught specific episdoes, but I'm pretty sure that the battle with Kisame fusing with Samehada has taken place, and thus would be available as his awakening Mode.
The Kage's are going to be interesting, because, while we've seen some of their abilities, aside from Raikage, and single techniques from Mizukage & Tsuchikage, we haven't much, and I'm not sure if it'd be enough to make them into full characters. (I kinda hope that they make a miscellaneous Samurai character just before they're fucking rad).
Also, good luck giving Danzou an Awakening Mode that isn't "holy fucking shit" levels of ridiculously OP. It'll be nice to have a proper Madara character though, and not one who's just Awakening Mode Tobi.
I'm also wondering how they'll be handling Kabutorochimaru, since he's in transition, and doesn't properly appear for a while still. I can assume that he's a character who will GREATLY benefit from the Vanilla & Shippuden characters.

Now, I KNOW the game won't be that aliased simply because the first Ninja Storm wasn't, and I doubt they're going to take that huge a step backwards at this juncture.
Someone just fucked up with those screens.

I totally agree. Hopefully someone gets better ones soon. :\
That being said, it looks like Support Mode is still around with the dual Character support. Susano'o Mode Sasuke looks like he's going to be a bit different to play than his previous incarnations, which is rather intriguing. I wish they'd shown off a little more with Haku/Zabuza though.
I know that there's basically no chance of Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode appearing in this game, but I can't stop thinking about how fucking awesome it'll be after the last chapter. T_T

Hands on description of an early build, & footage of Zabuza (who looks like he's currently just a reskin of Suigetsu).

TONS OF AWESOME NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!
• Firstly, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations has over 70 Characters, and covers the Part 1 & 2 story up until the current arc.
• Next, there've been some Combat changes: "Jump revealed you can now cancel the chakra dash into a combo or a ninjutsu move. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations also has three meters (well, five if you count the partner recharge meters) to watch now. An evasion meter is underneath the chakra gauge. This lets players know how many times they can use the replacement technique (kawarimi)."
• Lastly, in loosely related news, CC2's other game for PSP, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact got a review in Shonen Jump that included a note from Masashi Kishimoto​ himself, saying that he, his editor, and his assistant loved the game as well. - This is the best possible proof that CC2's Naruto games kick ass and are an excellent representation of the Naruto universe. (All the images of Hiroshi Matsuyama's reaction are priceless).
