There's a reason why we always gravitate to the Shonen side of the animation genre. It’s the power fantasy, the sheer unbridled joy of seeing characters engage in new forms of combat that was born from their desire to become stronger. Over the years, a ton of systems have been invented for various anime series and their manga source material. Sometimes wild, always imaginative and often trippy, it’s these ideas which form the backbone of Shonen anime. Here’s a look then, at ten of the best.

With each successive game upping the ante, Naruto’s Ultimate Ninja Storm saga will still be the measuring stick that all cinematic action games are measured against. A stick that’s about to get…Switchy. Nintendo Switchy if you catch my drift no jutsu.

Had enough of the usual shinobi shenanigans and want to try something a little different in the village of Hidden Leaves? Well then buckle up buckaroo, because Bandai Namco is preparing to give Naruto fans a taste of the next game in the franchise, a little bit early. Featuring four on four team battles, Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker tasks you with assembling an elite strike force to prevail through various challenges and trials. Challenges that’ll kick off with an open world beta from February 23 to February 25 on PS4.

Why bother with the blood and guts of the Naruto ninjutsu-centric world, when you can easily bleed an avatar out instead on the flatscreen? That’s the idea behind Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Strikers as players are going to get the chance to craft their own warrior of the night.

Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Strikers is the next game out from Bandai Namco next year, starring all of your favourite ninjas and that little bastard Boruto. Here’s where the formula mixes things up a bit: Your characters are now split across four distinct categories in team-based online skirmishes. Players can choose from Attack, Ranged, Defense and Healer archetypes, augmenting their basic skills of ludicrous finger-snapping jutsus with unique talents. It kinda looks fun so far.

The Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Legacy collects all four of the primary games and retools the last-gen originals with new visuals and high-definition SAAAASSSUUUUUKE! audio. Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 will be the Full Burst Edition, while Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 packs in the Road to Boruto content for good measure.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy will collect Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 into one comprehensive collection that includes all of its downloadable content. Oh and there's also a new Boruto game coming.

The Road to Boruto expansion marks the end of an era for the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm franchise after 15 years.
