Videos from 'that other Brawl'
Though Aksys published these Super Dodgeball Brawlers clips to keep the game fresh in our minds, the videos are also a reminder of the potential that playgrounds have to serve as battle arenas for our nation's youth. Imagine a utopia in which children of all creeds and races, rich or poor, can come together during recess and pummel each other with dodgeballs, crude weapons, and their own two fists. It is a dream we have worked our entire lives to realize.
The Brawl Mode in Super Dodgeball Brawlers is a window to that dream, allowing up to eight kids to battle it out in a no-holds-barred, free-for-all game of Murder Ball. Adolescents are encouraged to swing lead pipes at each other, throw exploding rocks, and transform the dodgeball into a tire-hugging panda whilst a small yapper-type dog cheers them on. Wipe that proud tear from your eye and step past the break for another clip of elementary school children locked in gladiatorial combat.

Why are you guys covering this game so closely? I must be missing something, since the pics and videos haven't really given me the impression of anything other than an average game that might have some fun multiplayer for parties...
To be honest, it looks kinda like Little Fighter ( http://www.lf2.net/ ) - which I would much much prefer to see on the DS!

Maybe they much as I, have fond memories of dodgeball on the NES.
