Age old Pirates vs. Ninjas question to be settled with dodgeball

According to studio director Chris Stockton, "This is the ultimate in rivalries, and we aim to have them settle it with all out balls to the wall action." Nice! Although where will you be able to play this? No man, whether pirate or ninja, can say. The game "is poised to redefine consumer expectations of console downloadable games when it's released for a TBD platform in the first quarter of 2008." Very mysterious.
In the meantime, check out the screenshots and concept art in the gallery below, and sharpen your peg legs and shurikens.

Seriously though, this is cool enough to make me go buy both a 360 and a PS3...just to be sure.

Pirates would rape Ninjas
samfish @ Aug 14th 2007 12:07AM
Me and my lolcat army will decimate both sides.

Are ninjas the chosen people of any major religion? Didn't think so.
Neebs @ Aug 14th 2007 12:12AM
Needs more Ninjas vs. Pirates vs. Cowboys vs. Astronauts.
Or...Pirate Ninja Astronaut Cowboys!
valisol @ Aug 14th 2007 12:23AM
Astronauts and Cowboys? pfft.
We need Zombies and Robots!
Ninja-Pirate-Zombie-Robot!
samfish @ Aug 14th 2007 12:30AM
Zombies were never THAT popular, were they?
Ninjas
Pirates
Robots
Monkeys
Kitties
Rare Hare @ Aug 14th 2007 3:11AM
How can you throw zombies and robots in there? Ninjas and Pirates can be zombies and/or robots. It's practically a species.
That's like saying clerics vs. orcs. It doesn't make sense.
Kye @ Aug 14th 2007 4:26AM
Ninjas, pirates, robots...
The next step is aliens, duh.
It's so obvious.
Robert Paulson @ Aug 30th 2007 6:31PM
Ninjas and Pirates agree: Cowboys Suck.
Cal @ Aug 14th 2007 12:48AM
Is it just me or does this look like LBP?
Whubbsie @ Aug 14th 2007 1:18AM
hahah... i thought the exact same thing then looked at the gallery.. just the same lighting on some pics thats all... look more like midget pirate vs ninjas... either way looks like fun.... pirates all the way.
Defenestrator2.0 @ Aug 14th 2007 1:37AM
Ninjas, hands down. They have stealth, heightened senses and speed, and they can turn anything into a weapon. What do pirates have? Scurvy, prosthetic limbs, and a drinking problem.
Psaakyrn @ Aug 14th 2007 3:48AM
Pirates have a better treasure sense, greater knowledge of sea-based warfare, and have bigger (cannon) balls. They're also promoters of rum.
OhJustSomeRandomGuy @ Aug 14th 2007 2:05AM
Ugh. What a horrible waste of the "Pirates vs. Ninjas" trademark.
It better still be legal for someone to use the "Ninjas vs. Pirates" trademark so we can get a non-shitty game out of it.
Leonidas @ Aug 14th 2007 2:08AM
Pirate ship full of pirates.
One Ninja.
300 Spartans.
or one Zombie hidden on the pirate ship.
Place your bets.
Kye @ Aug 14th 2007 4:28AM
The spartans would take out the pirates after suffering minimals losses (pirates aren't as organised you see).
The Zombie would inadvertently get killed. The Ninja would blow up the ship as the spartans celebrated their catch.
Gimme 10 on Ninja and 5 on Zombie, just in case dumb luck prevails.
samfish @ Aug 14th 2007 10:43AM
The zombie only needs to chomp one person to set off a chain reaction.
...so I'mma go with zombie.
Au @ Aug 14th 2007 2:43AM
There is no age old question; Ninjas are clearly superior to Pirates.
Staggs @ Aug 14th 2007 9:41AM
Bah. Pirates own Ninjas. Even in dodgeball.
Awesome Stuff @ Aug 14th 2007 10:10AM
Kaizoku FTW!!!! Ninjas suck
Plafke @ Aug 14th 2007 12:52PM
Ninjas and Pirates and Chuck Norris and Penguins just aren't funny.
Avatar @ Aug 14th 2007 1:43PM
Anything against Chuck Norris would lose. It's science.
WiNG @ Aug 14th 2007 12:54PM
I want to know what the other teams are?
Cowboys vs Indians vs Lumberjacks vs Firemen vs Astronauts vs LOLCATS vs Owls??
