If SEGA’s own official The Conduit site is to be believed, European gamers will be able to purchase the game on June 26. That’s not too long of a wait, considering it will come out just three days before in North America.

Wii MotionPlus can be removed from glove after all
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
After hearing some rumors from GDC, there was a chance that Wii MotionPlus would ship with a forced sleeve. Then a few official images of the product seemed to reinforce that idea. Don’t worry, however. Gameplayer is reporting that consumers will be able to remove MotionPlus from its glove after all. I suppose it would have been a bit silly if Nintendo would not allow for the peripheral to be removed.

MIDLOTHIAN, VA – April 16, 2009 – SouthPeak Games announced today that Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball for Wii has gone gold.

Every match in Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball is completely customizable, allowing competitors to decide on everything from the arena you play in to game rules. In addition, Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball features a deep, single player story mode, and challenge modes to keep players in top ball slinging shape.
