Pirates, Ninjas Play Dodgeball
The greatest showdown in history is downloading to a console near you.
IGN Wrote:
Today the recently-formed developer Blazing Lizard announced its first game will be an epic match-up between two of the most powerful forces the world has ever seen: Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball. The first in what will be a series of Pirates vs. Ninjas games, Dodgeball will support up to eight players (four local, eight online) and features five teams: Pirates, Ninjas, and three more Blazing Lizard will be unveiling at a later date.
Unlike traditional dodgeball, Pirates and Ninjas aren't restricted to one side of the court. Players will be able to roam freely around six arenas, and each character will have their own special abilities. The game supports both co-op and versus play over Exhibition, Story, and Challenge modes.
Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball is being built with Infyrno, Blazing Lizard's proprietary game engine. The developer says the engine enables "sweet" gameplay.
"What more needs to be said when it comes to Pirates vs. Ninjas," said Chris Stockman, Studio Director at Blazing Lizard. "This is the ultimate in rivalries, and we aim to have them settle it with all out balls to the wall action."
Look for Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball on an as-yet-unnamed console in early 2008.

Looks like the movie "Dodgeball" just got overshadowed. However, the 5 D's of Dodgeball (Dodge, Dip, Dive, Duck, Dodge) will most likely still apply.
Note that this game has not been confirmed on the Wii, but if you visit the source link below, you'll see it was listed on the Wii section of IGN.
I've got 20 bucks on the ninjas; dattebayo!
