I remember back in 2001 they released the Hajime no Ippo game (under the name Victorious Boxers and is no longer in production) to the U.S., and the anime just barely came out (under the title Fighting Spirit). Maybe it will be the same case with Naruto. But I heard the Gamecube games have been a hot item for importing. If Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 isn't confirmed by next month or April, I'll probably buy 3. I already have the first 2 and the same with Narutimate Hero 1 and 2.
The first Narutimate Hero I found was just a beta test in comparison to the 2nd one but considering the position for Naruto is storywise (legally under the jurisdiction of VIZ), I guess it would make sense to release the first one. I really love Sasuke's super's with the Chidori. Especially with his monologues of how he wants to kill Itachi.
Well, as for the anime, I'm also in the same boat of hoping that 4Kids does not get it. I also hope FUNimation doesn't get it either. I'm ok with just VIZ licencing it and having Ocean Studios dubbing it, though I don't like how they translate the attacks in the manga and still haven't realized they have spelt Tessaiga wrong the whole time in Inuyasha.
