Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball coming to Wii

by Justin McElroy { Aug 28th 2008 at 10:45AM }

Just a week or so before the game lands on XBLA, we get word that Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball will be coming to the Wii this winter. In addition to eight-player, seven-team pirate-on-ninja action, the Wii version will include "all-new story and challenge modes, along with several customized control schemes." We don't know how much they'll be asking, but with the 800 point XBLA asking price, we're hoping for "not a heck of a lot more than $10."

Wow, PS2, PSP and now XBLA. What can't you port onto that thing?

Dead Rising?

No, that's "what can't you port WELL onto that thing?"

mr nimblewick @ Aug 28th 2008 10:59AM

Well, thank god for that.

I'm looking forward to this game on XBLA, but I hope they don't hold anything back for the Wii release. I thought there was going to be a story mode on XBLA, it better still be there when I download it next Wednesday!

good original IPs?

*ducks*

Okami begs to differ, sir!

So I guess everyone forgot about RE4 then huh?

The_Punisher @ Aug 28th 2008 11:55AM

Rereleases don't count. And according to IGN, i'd even call super mario sluggers a rerelease

samfish @ Aug 28th 2008 12:01PM

I don't think RE counts as an original IP at this point.

Um, that's no ninja. That's a samurai.

jimmygotsmack @ Aug 28th 2008 11:19AM

You know I was going to say the same thing. I even had a long rant about how no one can tell the differences in Asian cultures. Like, why was there a ninja in the newest mummy movie. Ninjas are arn't Chinese, just like how shaolin monks aren't Japanese. Which made that movie just offensive, that, and it being a horrible movie in general, but believe it or not some ninjas did wear samurai armor. I know, Wikipedia told me so...

ComicShaman @ Aug 28th 2008 11:39AM

Perhaps it is a ninja disguised as a samurai. And perhaps the pirate is ALSO a ninja in disguise.

As is the ball.

You can never tell with these guys.

Mr.ESC @ Aug 28th 2008 11:45AM

"Like, why was there a ninja in the newest mummy movie".

That movie was bad but at least not as bad as IJ4 now that was outrageously bad but yeah the Mummy was very inconsistent and the dialogue was horrible.

Mr.ESC @ Aug 28th 2008 11:46AM

No,its a SPACESTATION.

Pshaw @ Aug 28th 2008 3:06PM

There must be a story reason for the Samurai. You think game devs (some of the geekiest people alive) aren't gonna know the difference between a samuarai and a ninja?!

Bad Mojo @ Aug 28th 2008 11:20AM

While I will definitely be looking forward to this game for the Wii (since I don't ha ve a 360).... It better be seriously budget priced or be able to waggle the crap out of the XBLA version.

Covarr @ Aug 28th 2008 11:56AM

There have already been XBLA games ported to Wii, such as Geometry Wars.

WiNG [Life in a Game] @ Aug 28th 2008 11:57AM

Who the FUCK put a SAMURAI in my NINJA TEAM?

LeChuck @ Aug 28th 2008 12:03PM

I'm confused. Is it coming to Wii or WiiWare? I doubt there's enough game for a full retail release, even a budget priced one.

Vcize @ Aug 28th 2008 12:07PM

So are they releasing this as a full retail game on disc on the Wii, a la Geometry Wars?

Graham @ Aug 28th 2008 12:27PM

"What can't you port onto that thing?"

Well...Mother 3, apparently.

Draken Stark @ Aug 28th 2008 4:06PM

*points to wiibrew then searches for a jp copy of the gba game*

Anni @ Aug 28th 2008 2:43PM

Oh man, put a hook-hand accessory to fit on top of my Nunchuck, and it's a first day purchase!

DBuck_Eye @ Aug 28th 2008 3:12PM

Looks like I will finally be able to kill ninjas in the way Red Steel never let me.

Waqman @ Aug 28th 2008 4:53PM

LOL at Mr. Esc calling IJ4 worse than The Mummy 3. Your credibility = lost. IJ4 was a disgrace, and it disappointed more people than the Mummy 3 did. But overall the Mummy 3 was worse, and easily a contender for worst movie of the year.

Oh yeah to be on topic. Why isn't this out on PSN???? I want some pirate action (never mind, Quest for Booty sated it for now).
