Super Dodgeball Brawlers! The PC Engine's Legacy continues...


Well well, look at what we have here! Could this be a game we all know and love? Could this be a modern version of a classic PC Engine game we all love? An extension of the River City Ransom game from the NES with Dodgeball? WAIT WAIT, Is the Captain of the Nekketsu HS team really named Kunio? LOL!!! Well well! Looks like we have the newest release of Kunio Kun Dodgeball on the Nintendo DS!

Introducing
SUPER DODGEBALL BRAWLERS!

Seriously, I noticed this game the other day online and I thought I would look into it. I went ahead and picked it up today from my local Gamestop store along with Space Invaders Extreme (BAD ASS), and I'm kinda tripping out. On more then one occasion I have felt that the DS is the modern adaptation of the PC Engine system, without the CD-Rom attachment. This game freakin rocks man! Take a look below at the features...


I will post more about this game, along with some multi-player insights soon enough, cause you can play 8 players with only 1 cartridge baby!!! Check back soon for some Modern Kunio fun. Seriously, I am going to rant about this game, in the meantime GO BUY IT!

Gaming God's Note: Throwing vending machines at the opposing team while distracting them with an upcoming ball to the head...priceless!

Hey buddy! text looking a lot sharper. still would use justified, but left aligned is a lot better than centered!

I gave Dodgeball Brawlers for DS a quick spin, and was a little bit disappointed. It's still good, don't get me wrong, but the action is a bit sluggish.

Space Invaders Extreme on the other hand... ohh boy! Did they nail that one down or what??? Fantastic remake!

One more observation! You screwed up your DS tag... it reads "nintnedo ds"

Not quite sure what you mean by sluggish, controls? Speed? I thought everything was pretty well done.

As for Space Invaders... the game is pure crack ;)
