Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 Collectors Edition Is Not Coming Out In The UK

As a big Naruto Fan, i've been waiting to see if the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 Collectors Edition is coming to the UK. After noticing UK retailers weren't listing it, i got in touch with Namco Bandai to see if it was coming out in the UK.

Namco Bandai Partners UK PR Executive Peter Oliver got in touch and confirmed that it wasn't coming out in the UK: "Unfortunatley, the collectors' edition will not be coming out in the UK."

I have wrote back to see if there will be retailer exclusive characters, for example if you get it at GAME you would get Namikaze Minato, but i suspect there won't be any. it looks like the UK is only getting the standard version of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.

QTE Tweets Of The Week

This top 10 shows the most clicked tweets from my News in brief Twitter stream. Its the second week running where News about Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 has made it into the top 10, nearly all the stories made it in. There was a lot of clicks from the UK, especially with FIFA and F1 2010, big franchises for the UK. The only real surprise was the so-so interest in the Nintendo 3DS. Each story got some interest, but none of them made it into the top 10.
