I just knew there was no way in the world Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball was going to be kept exclusive to the Xbox 360. No way was a game like this going to be limited to one platform. While the XBLA version is due out next week, Gamecock and Blazing Lizard have announced this morning that a beefed-up Wii version is also now in the works. The Wii version is scheduled for release this winter and will feature new teams, added story and challenge modes, and multiple control schemes to enable players to sling their balls however they please. Today’s press release doesn’t make any mention of WiiWare, so it would appear that the new features have upgraded Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball‘s Wii port from downloadable title to full retail release.
]]>“The competition between the Pirates and the Ninjas is so huge that battles are breaking out all over,” said Harry Miller, El Presidente of Gamecock Media Group. “We’re happy to bring this grand conflict to the Wii, and give players the chance to help determine who the ultimate champions are.”
Originally due for a spring release, Blazing Lizard’s Xbox Live Arcade game Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball missed it’s scheduled launch so that more modes and features could be crammed in. Work on the additional content, which includes an option for multi-ball matches and new Traditional Dodgeball and Enhanced Dodgeball modes, is nearing completion and thusly the game has a brand spankin’ new launch date. Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, published by Gamecock Media Group, is now set to go live on XBLA September 3rd.
