Many of you fancy yourselves swashbuckling fiends, which means you grab onto any pirate-related news as if it were treasure. At least, Oxygen is banking on this, which is why they're bringing Pirates: Duels on the High Seas to the DS.Originally, the game was supposed to end up in Europe on April 18th. Oxygen revealed today, though, that the game's release was pushed back to June. The title seems to have a lot of gameplay content (multiple single player modes, single-cart multiplayer, varying tasks, etc.), but we suppose we'll have to wait until June now to see if it's actually any good.
You can also expect a a WiiWare prequel for this game at some point this summer (called Pirates: The Key of Dreams) to expand upon the story of Duels on the High Seas.

Now, would it be considered "pirating" to download a ROM of a Pirate game?!? or is it that just to be expected?

Hrm... while I love pirate games, and this one seems to have some promise, I still wonder what ever happened to Pirate Battle. I find the distinct lack of plundering and pillaging on the DS disturbing.

I read the headline and immediately assumed Sid Meier's Pirates! was being made or ported to the DS...how disappointing. Guess I could see what this title's about, anyhow.

Please let it be a really good rip off of Sid Meir's Pirates!
(fingers crossed)
