The newly formed Studio Blazing Lizard; and they seem to have a promising future in the hearts of Gamers and Asian enthusiast alike.
Enough compliments! On to the game! Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball will be launched on the Xbox LIVE Arcade on Xbox 360 in early 2008. The game will feature 5 teams of up to 8 players each with 6 arenas to play in. The other teams apart from the pirates and ninjas are rumoured to include Zombies and Robots. Characters will also have their own combat moves and special capabilities which will definitely make the game more exhilarating.
The game itself uses beautiful graphics combined with an unique gameplay that looks to be similar to Mario Striker. These evil doers will definitely keep you entertained for a while with their exhibition, story, co-operational and challenge modes. In addition it will also have Multiplayer support and Online gameplay.
The words of Chris Stockman, Studio Director of Blazing Lizard summed up the game best:
What more needs to be said when it comes to Pirates vs. Ninjas. This is the ultimate in rivalries, and we aim to have them settle it with all out balls to the wall action.” - TechShout

I won’t go into detail, but my gut feeling tell me those stealthy ninjas got this game in the bag. Just look at those pirates shivering with fear! We might have to wait a bit longer on Ninjas vs Samurais though… we can always hope, right?
