ESRB Age Rating Summary:
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM Trilogy is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Blood, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, and Violence. This is an adventure-fighting game in which players engage in one-on-one and group battles against characters from the Naruto Shippuden franchise. Characters punch, kick, and use special moves (e.g., fireballs, electrical blasts, energy swords) to drain opponents' life meters; players can also summon and control fantasy creatures (e.g., giant frogs, wood golems) to assist/engage in battles. Some sequences depict blood-splatter effects as characters defeat enemy ninjas and/or attack giant enemy creatures with swords. Cutscenes depict additional violence: a character impaled through the chest with a sword—blood appears on the tip; two characters impaled by a giant claw. One character is repeatedly referred to as "Pervy Sage," and one of the missions involves finding and thwarting a peeping tom; some areas of the game allow players to dress their characters in swimsuits that can display female characters' cleavage. The word “bastard” appears in the dialogue.

The game also includes mild suggestive themes, such as characters referred to as "Pervy Sage" and missions involving a peeping tom. Some character costumes reveal cleavage, which may be concerning for some parents. Many suggest the game is best for teens 13 and older due to these elements.
