Tomy Corporation has announced today that Naruto Shippūden: Ninja Council 4 has gone gold, and will be shipping to retailers on June 2nd. The Nintendo DS game is the first handheld title to cover the Shippuuden arc of the television series. There are up to 17 playable characters, a 3-man squad system, touch screen interaction for supers and character call-ins, and wireless multiplayer battling for up to four players.

As a Naruto fan myself, I am rather excited, but still dissapointed in the filler arc of the Anime.
