Guide: Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen Special Save Data

Naruto Shippuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen Special is the final entry in the Gekitou Ninja Taisen series released on the Nintendo Wii. Known for its extensive roster (over 40 characters) and fast-paced 3D arena fighting, the game requires a significant time investment to unlock all characters, modes, and customization items.

Because GNT Special is a Japanese import, moving save files onto a standard Wii requires specific steps: SD Card Setup : Place your downloaded save folder (labeled 00010000534e584a ) into the /private/wii/title/ directory on your SD card.

• Bricking: Impossible. Save files cannot brick a console. At worst, the game will say "Save data corrupted" and delete it.

  • Error: "Unable to load because the Wii Remote is disconnected." → This is a game glitch, not a save error. Unplug all GameCube controllers from the Wii before booting.
  • Save loads, but characters are still locked. → The save file was a "half-complete" file. Find a different upload. Look for file dates after 2011 (the game’s final patch).
