Quantcast



This is the first gameplay footage of the upcoming XBLA title from Gamecock. It's looking kind of like the Mario Strikers series in a way with the frantic looking team action and the power-ups that are used.

I'll be getting my hands on this game this Wednesday so expect coverage of it again at the end of next week. What are your thoughts on how the game is looking like in action?

Until then, NINJAS FOR THE WIN!

[Thanks, Madninja!]

I always thought a game called Pirates vs. Ninjas would look a lot more epic..and .. good.

I don't have a 360 but I hope it's good. Pirates fo' life

I don't see any ads for the game on this site. 4/10. The controls were too good and the game was just too much fun.

Looks awesome, but the part of my brain that handles ninja thoughts is preventing me from saying anything else.

CAUSE NINJAS ARE AWESOME.

Samurai are not Ninjas. There is a clear and obvious difference. You can't just lump Samurai into the same team with Ninjas and expect everything to turn out alright, The were mortal enemies! Hasn't anyone seen The Hunted? Shit.

Also, I couldn't tell what the hell was going on, and the game really doesn't look that fun. Good music, though.

Pirates > Ninjas

@Spykron: Yes if there was Vikings I'd go for them.

Vikings > Pirates > Ninjas

Looks pretty cool actually. A little bit like a clusterfuck but cool nonetheless.

They had a picture of a samurai and they called him a ninja. I bet that offended his honor.

RONIN AND NINJA DONT MIX, YO~! That's be like mixing an admiral in with the pirates. Blasphemy.

And if there were Vikings, I'd totally pick Berserker warriors over the otehr two any day of the week.

Fuck pirates. I want this so bad. Looks like a shit-ton of fun. Seriously, though, pirates fail. And are lame. Stupid. Dumb pirates.

Pirates would be more fun to hang out with. Drink rum, get booty, sail the seas. Therefore, pirates>ninjas
