Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections pre-order guide: Editions, prices, and more explored

Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, the latest offering from Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2, is just a few days away from its official release. This title is built more as a "greatest hits" collection of the previous Ninja Storm titles, featuring the largest roster of playable characters and a standalone story featuring Boruto.

While Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is built on the foundation laid by the Ninja Storm 4, it features several new additions and quality-of-life improvements over its predecessors. The controls have been simplified for the new title, making it much more accessible to new players.

However, the game retains gameplay depth with its combo system and ninja tools. With the looming release date, many players might be considering pre-ordering the game. Here's a comprehensive pre-order guide for Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, breaking down all the editions, their prices, platforms, and more.
