Game developer Blazing Lizard has sent out a press wire earlier for an upcoming game series they've got planned, titled Pirates Versus Ninjas. Yes, dear readers, you heard that right - the epic net meme debating two of the greatest fighters in history (evar!) will soon be making its way to your consoles.

The first game in the series is Pirates versus Ninjas Dodgeball, and will reportedly allow up to eight players to choose one of three characters: Pirates, Ninjas, and three yet-to-be announced classes.

Each character is expected to carry their own special abilities and moves, with the game to include six free-roaming stages. Three game modes have been announced so far, including Exhibition, Story (wait, there's a story to this?), and Challenge mode, with support for 4 players Local / 8 players Online, and 4-player Co-op modes.

"This is the ultimate in rivalries, and we aim to have them settle it with all out balls to the wall action," said Blazing Lizard Studio Director Chris Stockman regarding the announcement. Pirates versus Ninjas: Dodgeball is expected to land during the first quarter of 2008 as a downloadable, although Blazing Lizard has yet to say which console will be receiving it.

And while the devs have yet to say what other three characters are expected appear, we'd love to hear from you guys - what other classes do you think will be making an appearance? This writer's personal candidates include cowboys, samurai, zombies, cyborgs, Chuck Norris, and Ben Stiller. Make sure to check out the accompanying screenshots we've also picked up while you're here. Enjoy!

But this is deserving. I'm going to completely lose all sense of grammar and spelling for the next few sentences.

Sorry about that. Anyways, I'm upset that this is only coming to the PSN. I much prefer my 360 though, in spite of this awesome development.

Ninjas own pirates. Hands down. Period.

» Good idea

although for clarification, the Ben Stiller line was a reference to the Dodge Ball film.
