SouthPeak Interactive and Blazing Lizard have recently released some new footage for their Wii/XBLA title, Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball. The game is currently available for Xbox Live and will be available for the Wii this month.

“Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball plays great thanks to the Wii controls, and intensifies rivalries because the throwing motions make it feel like you’re whipping balls at each other. I’m surprised such a classic playground game hasn’t been done on Wii before,” said Chris Stockman, Studio Director of Blazing Lizard. “I’m also surprised anyone would choose pirates over the mystical power of ninjas. Fools such as these are easily defeated.”

Regardless of your preference for unleashing mayhem (whether it be pirates or ninjas), just know that all you zombie lovers just got burned! I don’t know how you can have the epic confrontation of pirates and ninjas without zombies? Well, maybe in the sequel: Pirates Vs Ninjas Dodgeball: Attack of the zombies.

Anyway, the game features multiple play modes for up to four-players. The game is basically just a fast-and-furious battle dodgeball game, so it’s not like it’s chock-full of deep gameplay features.
