The earliest Naruto game identified in the cited historical catalog is Naruto: Konoha Ninpōchō, released in Japan on 27 March 2003 for WonderSwan Color. The chronology below gives the dates and platforms established by the available historical and Bandai Namco catalog entries; it is not a complete worldwide list of every regional, mobile, browser, or arcade release.
Release dates for the Naruto games identified here
Dates are shown in an unambiguous month format. The first two entries have Japan-specific dates from the historical catalog. Dates for later titles are those shown in Bandai Namco’s current Naruto catalog, which is selective and does not establish that each date is the game’s first worldwide release. The catalog’s platform listings are included where supplied.

| Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy | 25 August 2017, date shown in Bandai Namco’s catalog | Xbox One, PS4, PC, Switch | Compilation, not a new numbered Storm game. |

Why this is not a complete list of every Naruto game
“All Naruto games” spans console and handheld releases as well as PC, mobile, browser, arcade, and region-specific titles. The historical list covers a broad range, including the Clash of Ninja, Ninja Council, Path of the Ninja, and Ultimate Ninja families, but it is a secondary catalog and its entries have not all been independently verified against original regional publisher records. Bandai Namco’s official page is useful for its currently listed games and platforms, but it is not a complete retrospective.
#1 Best Overall
- Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Naruto's Debut!
- THE LARGEST ROSTER OF PLAYABLE CHARACTERS EVER - Largest roster of characters to play as than any Ultimate Ninja STORM game in the past
- New additions include the brothers who started legendary ninja clans, Ashura and Indra Otsutsuki, more to come
- For the first time in one game, relive selected scenes from Naruto’s childhood until his final battle with Sasuke through anime scenes & battles
- Players of past Ultimate Ninja STORM games can see it all with updated graphics. Plus, experience a new Boruto story exclusive to the game
For a longer historical index, consult the historical catalog directly. Treat its chronology as a starting point, especially for obscure releases and regional editions, rather than as confirmation that every date is a worldwide first-release date.
How to read the Storm collection dates
Storm Trilogy and Storm Legacy are collection releases, not additional original entries in the numbered series. Bandai Namco describes Storm Legacy as a compilation of HD remasters of Storm, Storm 2, Storm 3: Full Burst, and Storm 4: Road to Boruto. Its page gives copyright years of 2008, 2010, 2013, and 2017 for those games, while the collection launch announcement gives 25 August 2017. Copyright years and compilation launch dates answer different questions, so neither should be substituted for a game’s original regional release date. See Bandai Namco’s Storm Legacy page.

What the chronology says about the series
The franchise began with a Japan-only handheld release in 2003, well before the later Storm entries became its most prominent international console releases. The historical catalog’s range of platforms and game families shows why a Storm-only timeline is not a chronology of all Naruto games. For a reader interested specifically in recent officially listed titles, Bandai Namco’s catalog includes Storm Revolution, Storm 4, the 2017 compilations, Shinobi Striker, and Storm Connections.
