The fight begins. It’s fluid, even with the Switch’s constraints. You tap the attack button—tap, tap, tap, heavy. It feels visceral. The thumbsticks respond to the memory of your muscles. Up, circle, chakra dash. The opponent goes flying into the invisible wall.

You trigger the Secret Technique. The screen goes dark, lit only by the blue glow of the Rasengan. It’s a spectacle that feels too big for a seven-inch screen, yet it fits perfectly.
