Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution: Creation of Akatsuki
The animation's quality. As in, I wish the anime was like this all the damn time. Much better than that of the Madara vs Hashirama fight from one of the previous games too.
Sasori was apparently wiping out ninja villages from around the Land of Wind. Not sure why there'd be other ninja villages (Suna would not be pleased) but it suddenly reminded me of his "conquered a nation" claim, the fact that he becomes Orochimaru's partner and that Orochimaru set up the main base of a new hidden village in the Land of Sound/Rice. Coincidence?
Kakuzu's previous partners are ignored and these members of Akatsuki are treated as the only members they've had. Though was it ever said the Kakuzu's partners were from Akatsuki specifically? Maybe he'd just been working alongside random dudes over the years and was prone to killing them. I prefer this version against.
Overall, I liked it. And the little bit of fights that were actually animated instead of game-based were cool. Except Deidara's repeat but that's inevitable.
Edit: Shippuuden 375
Consider this one of the times the anime one-ups the manga. It's Kakashi vs Obito inside Kamui.
In the manga, this whole fight bored me completely and I skimmed through it. Here, they've expanded on all the fighting and it switches between past and present which works a lot better in animation. There's sad music and everything.

Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution: All Anime Cutscenes - Three stories with Akatsuki's creation, Shisui's death and Kushina with Team 7. No gameplay this time.
And for kicks: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution: All Ultimate (Single/Combination) Jutsus.

Hmm, so according to the Creation of Akatsuki animation, Orochimaru and Sasori both already knew about each other through Kabuto before ever meeting each other in person. That's pretty interesting. How the heck did Kabuto become involved with Sasori?
[edit] Heh, so Obito was Kushina's favorite huh? I bet those two are going to have a really happy reunion in the afterlife, considering who murdered her and all.
[edit2] Man those ultimate jutsu can be unintentionally hilarious because of the mini-cutscene flashbacks that accompany them. Probably the funniest is when we see Minato reminisce about how he has to protect his son with his life, while he's currently brutally murdering that same son with a Kyuubi and senjutsu powered mega-rasengan.

Yes, but how did Kabuto become Sasori's spy? I always assumed Orochimaru lent Kabuto to Sasori after they became partners in Akatsuki, but if this storyline is canon than Kabuto was already working for Sasori before Orochimaru and Sasori ever met. If that's the case, then when did Kabuto start working for Sasori and how did he gain his trust?
Kabuto would have met Sasori before he met Orochimaru.
Turning Kabuto against Danzo is... not the hardest thing to do really. After that Sasori used that memory technique of his and turned him into a sleeper agent (kind of like that guy in the Sand).
Orochimaru later detects it and releases it (http://v2012.mangapark.com/manga/Naruto/c290/14)

Hmm, so Kabuto met Sasori when he was still working for Root then... seems plausible, but I still have to wonder just how they met. Sasori defected from Sunagakure long (more than 10 years) before Kabuto went there to spy on Danzou's orders. Maybe one of Sasori's other spies in Suna (such as Yuura) discovered his true identity as a Root agent, but instead of turning him in to Suna's ANBU they were impressed with his work and introduced him to Sasori, who recruited him with the brainwashing jutsu. So he was never actually intended to be a spy on Orochimaru, that was just a lucky coincidence.
Hmm, the way Kabuto's flashback presents it looks like Orochimaru sent Kabuto to spy on Akatsuki so he becomes the subordinate of Akatsuki member Sasori to spy for him while spying on him. Sasori hides his 'true' loyalties with his jutsu, never realising Kabuto had been working for Orochimaru all along. He could have revealed that he worked for Orochimaru to Sasori and could offer information on his immortality and Edo Tensei research to gain his trust.
Edit: Yet the databook appears to say the opposite in that Kabuto "originally was sent in by Sasori of the Akatsuki to spy on Akatsuki's activities."

Mind-control is a really, really hard ability to build a fighting game character's moveset around, especially when self-inflicted damage is off the table without committing suicide or building elaborate time-delayed death traps for the victim. You also generally don't want to let one player take control away from another player in a competitive multiplayer game.
The only way I could see Mind-body switch working in a fighting game is as a super hard to perform instant win special where Ino possess the opponent and makes them surrender, but that would be super lame and only makes sense in the context of a tournament that allows non-lethal victories.
