Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball coming to XBLA

The Cocks at Gamecock just sent word that Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball is hitting Xbox Live Arcade early next year. We knew it was going to be a downloadable title, but just weren't sure for which console until today. Honestly, I'm not surprised that they picked Xbox as their console of choice.

The game looks like it's going to be really fun and ... OK, screw it, I can't do this anymore. Ninjas win, plain and simple. There's no reason to even have a game like this. Pirates haven't got a chance in hell against the mighty Ninjas. Ninjas win. There, I spoiled the ending. Sorry Blazing Lizards. 

Blazing Lizard’s Pirates vs. Ninjas™ Dodgeball To Hit Xbox 360 LIVE Arcade


Eternally Warring Camps To Meet On Neutral Ground For The First Time – The Dodgeball Court

Cockpit, Austin, TX – November 1, 2007 – Gamecock Media Group announced today that Blazing Lizard’s Pirates vs. Ninjas™ Dodgeball will debut on Xbox LIVE™ Arcade on Xbox 360™ in early 2008. The title looks to answer the age-old question of which much-revered profession is better, by settling the score…with (dodge)balls.

“It is no secret that Pirates and Ninjas have beef,” stated Chris Stockman, Studio Director of Blazing Lizard. “But it turns out both have a great love for dodgeball and unique skills when it comes to playing the game. We are bringing together sworn enemies for what I can guarantee will be explosive dodgeball action.”

Pirates vs. Ninjas™ Dodgeball will have sea-faring thieves squaring off against stealthy martial artists in beautiful environments. The game will allow for up to eight players and offer five teams, including pirates and ninjas and three more that will announced soon. Each team has their own unique style and techniques and is hell-bent on destroying the opposition.

Look for Pirates vs. Ninjas™ Dodgeball to hit an Xbox near you in early 2008.

I like the idea a lot. I hope the game pans out well because I would hate for such a cool concept to go to waste.

Only ninjas left today are Asian Honda Civic owners and Naruto cosplayers. Meanwhile, pirates are rocking cruise ships, and downloading everything (including your mother) over bit-torrent before it's released.

PIRATES WIN, FUCK NINJAS!

Pirates would rape and pillage all the Ninjas whilst making manly sounds and drinking heavily. They're like a fictional form of Ron Workman.

@ Scrixx

peh, ninjas even had to rip off Talk Like a Pirate Day??

Ninjas are dead, apart from crappy little satire sites like Real Ultimate Power and Naruto Cosplayers (good one bluexy) - Pirates are still around, and have even expanded into other areas.

While your pirates are swabbing the poopdeck and drinking rum and plundering booty, our ninjas are having sex with your womens and calling you gay on the internets - UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS. We're too badass for ships and cannons. We just need our awesomeness. DENY IT. You can't.

Ninja's are going to win because Orlando Bloom does not look like a worthy Dodgeball Competitor. Sorry ladies.

Someone should just make a Counterstrike-like game where its Pirates vs Ninjas and then this could be settled once and for all... or would it... ?
