Play Pirates: Duels on the High Seas on the Nintendo DS
Yes, I know this website isn’t about pirates, but too bad! I must post about pirate games when I see them, if only to start the Pirate/Ninja debate with Mike over at FPS Rantings. That guy is OBSESSED with Ninjas and it’s almost kind of scary.
Anyways, there’s a new PIRATE game coming out for the Nintendo DS that us DS players cannot afford to miss. Why? Because pirates are awesome. Especially when you combine pirates with the dual screen.
The new game, Pirates: Duels on the High Seas, which is being published by Oxygen Games, has many features that will appeal to people both young and old. What type of features? Well, here… read for yourself:
- 70 unique levels – 35 single player and 35 multiplayer & Skirmish levels
- Single player ‘Story’ mode and ‘Skirmish’ mode with players battling 2-3 AI opponents
- ‘Salty Sea Dog’ multiplayer mode for 2-4 players, single-cart or multi-cart
- Three types of ship available to captain, each one representing a different difficulty setting
- Seven locations across the globe to sail including Porto Bello in South America, Port Royal in the Caribbean, The Bermuda Triangle, the China Sea and the Persian Gulf
- An array of cannon-blazing sea battles against a variety of enemies including rival pirates, the Spanish Navy, Blackbeard, The Kraken and a Chinese Dragon
- Discover buried treasure allowing you to hire additional crew members and pay for ship repairs.
- Unearth enchanted Inca gold that creates a magical protective aura around your ship
- Flotsam and Jetsam – assorted cargo that you can trade for gold
- Classic ship weaponry – fight your sea battles using the tried and tested arsenal of a sea-faring pirate including cannons, sea mines, rockets and chain shot
- Rescue castaways – four types of castaway to rescue in the game, each one improving the performance of your ship including ‘Lookout’, ‘Navigator’ and ‘Master Gunner’
If you’re interested in playing a swashbuckling pirate, you need only wait until June to get your dingy little hands on it.

Awesome. Im a big pirate fan too but sadly im siding with Mike on this as Ninjas r0xx0r…..by a bit =)
Hahaha, thanks bud. ;) Ninjas rule! This game would sell better if they put Ninjas in it.
pirates need to get a real job! They’re so easy to arrest because of their garb. You can’t tell Ninjas from the next guy, so there isn’t a single Ninja in jail.
Notice how I always write “pirates” in small caps even if the sentence begins with the term? Ninjas always deserve title caps.
