This will potentially slow you down, Bandai.

Just a simple question to Bandai: What will you guys do once the cardgames catches up entirely to the manga?
Just food for thought.

They'll do what they did with the DB card game and just make cards from random moments in the storyline. Then it will only last for a few sets and everything will go down the toilet. That or they will increase the amount of time between sets. Instead of having 4 sets per year, we will have 3 or 2.

They could and SHOULD go back and revisit old stuff, especially movies (all of them). I'd love a remake of Haido and the Magician Girls... There's plenty of that we could revisit... I wouldn't mind either.

They can do what the other successful card games do?

Look at Pokemon TCG. soooo many pikachu cards.... We will keep seeing new deck types and of the same ninjas.


oh snap!! pokemon online is out.....

Bandai get on the ball and create Naruto-Online.com already... with your billion dollar corporation.

They can just reprint and remake cards not that hard and they are still years away from the manga look how far they are still from the anime.

And yes mike naruto needs to get a online system like pokemon there system is amazing.

Doesn't have to be based on the storyline. I'd actually wish we'd stop following it so I don't have to basically follow a script on what cards do.

I agree with this. What happens when Naruto ends and your out of material?

Honestly, have you guys thought about the core set idea? Its the best long term investment any card game has made. Yu-Gi-Oh doesnt do core sets and happens to be successful, but the amount of material is never ending due to new shows and books being made. This game eventually will run out of steam, like dragonball did.

I think if you spilt the sets apart more and give them more thought rather than, "Itachi summons susanno in this battle, so this set, we must make an Itachi that does so" way of thinking, the game will go far-ther. MTG has been out longer than I have been playing card games. To be honest, your target audience for this game is wayyyy off too. Lol the players that should be playing this card game should be on par with pokemon. Instead, it attracts an older crowd (which imo is better for you). Take advantage of that, and plan ahead.


TL ; DR

Core sets, with side sets - (So you dont run out of material)
Stop following the story - (I dont feel like waiting two years to see something that recently happened)
Put more time in sets - (So that we dont have insta-errataslike the new sai and chikamatsu)

this will never happen if the keep having their little office tea parties instead of working.

this game is run by a bunch of kids

mtg is run by a bunch of men in their 40's that live and breath mtg. there is no such thing as a 9-5 work day for them.
