I'll be curious to see if they will allow these three games to keep their online battles. I doubt it but man, it would actually be really neat to play any of these three online.
At best, though, I expect only the offline battles (local MP, vs human and CPU) to be available and kept. They can easily justify locking out online battles from this release for these games. Some people won't like it but I'd bet Bamco would just say, "We have a product for people who want to play Naruto online. It's called Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto." They'll want the fourth installment to continue to have a player base and not split the community up.
But there is a chance it could keep the feature for the games. I'm just doubting it.
ANYWAY, that aside, I'm interested in this collection because I haven't played 1 or 2 and I'd like to see how the mechanics differ; especially because 1 does some things the other games don't (that they took out, basically). 3 being included doesn't really matter to me because I've already played it but... if it includes the Full Burst expansion (which it should given they say all the DLC will be there for this collection) that's at least some new content for me to experience in 3.
Keeping my eyes on this collection. I'm doubting much effort will go into this but then the trademark for it was filed last August so they've been working on this collection for at least awhile now. Gives some chance for some minor improvements to the games.
