Gamecock Media Group has announced that Blazing Lizard's Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball will be released on Wii this winter.

The title features two ancient rivals(?), ninjas and pirates, along with several other teams, all looking to settle the score once and for all - on the dodgeball court.

"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."

Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball will have scurvy thieves squaring off against crafty martial artists in large, detailed arenas. The game allows for up to eight players and offers a total of seven teams, including pirates, ninjas, robots and zombies plus three unannounced ball slingers.

Each team utilizes its own unique techniques and strategies to try and ultimately defeat the enemies. Unique to Wii version, the game will offer all-new story and challenge modes, along with several customized control schemes.
