No Balls, No Glory: Super Dodge Ball soundtrack remixed photo

I don't have to ask you if you remember the Nintendo Entertainment System classic, Technos' Super Dodge Ball. Of course you do. And you probably already know that Aksys Games is lining up Super Dodgeball Brawlers, their update to the classic, for a spring 2008 release. But what you didn't know about is that Aksys is endorsing a collection of music that pays tribute to the music of the original game.

No Balls, No Glory is an internet EP release by The Bad Dudes, a multinational group of musicians that releases covers of video game music. This release contains 16 remixed songs from Kazuo Sawa's original score for the 1989 NES game, all arranged with each dodge ball team's country of origin in mind. 

Project Producer Mustin said, "I'm excited about releasing this project in conjunction with Aksys games and their Brawlers release.  I hope the music pays suitable tribute to the Super Dodge Ball video game we all played as kids."

This collection of music will be used by video game software developer Aksys Games in promotion of Super Dodgeball Brawlers, which will be released on May 27th, 2008 for a MSRP of $29.99.

What are you waiting for? Listen to or download the EP at NoBallsNoGlory.net.

Press release follows.

I've been waiting on the OC Remix album for like three years now. I'm glad to see someone finally did something with one of the most criminally unappreciated video game soundtracks of all time.

Also, Brawlers is making me buy a DS.

Bad Dudes are alright, but they're definitely not the baddest dudes out there. I finished listening to this entire album, and my opinion is still the same. Most of the tracks sound too bare. The core composition is often at the bottom of layers of improvised bits that just don't deserve the spotlight.

I've always loved how England's theme is a mixture of two Beatles songs: Get Back and A Hard Day's Night. It's true. Give it a listen.
