Based on the classic Super Dodgeball released on the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Dodgeball Brawlers brings back the old-school Kunio characters with an all new arsenal of super throws and attacks in an all-out war for playground supremacy. Super Dodgeball Brawlers has over 100 ball-busting special attacks! Dish out a variety of pain with over 100 special attacks with their own special animations and effects, like the Cactus Attack and Panda Shot. The Perfect Game for Multiplayer Mayhem! Compete in a traditional game of dodgeball against a friend or take part in a multiplayer street brawl with up to 8 players with a single Game Card. Finally, an open season for Violence! If the old-fashioned way doesn't work for you, you can now use punches, kicks, and even weapons against the opposing team.

This is damn near as good a version of Dodgeball as I could ask for...if only overall character speed could be tweaked. [May 2008, p.66]

The action in SDB is slower than I would have expected from a sequel over a decade in the making. Still, the expansive character creation, crazy Supershots, and the nods to River City Ransom make all the flaws seem like the needless nitpicking of an obsessed fanboy.

Super Dodgeball Brawlers rekindles some wonderful memories of my time spent with the original game, but it doesn't offer enough new features to make it a must-have or even give it a decent degree of replayability.

Gamervision
A good amount of fun for a short amount of time. It’s too complex for casual gamers, but too shallow for anyone looking to really dive into a dodgeball game. The core mechanics are tight, but sadly, there just isn’t that much to do with them.

Ultimately a disappointment. Instead of being a sharply delivered hard rubber ball to the face, it ends up being a limp-wristed, easily dodged throw towards the ankles.

Dodgeball fans won't be disappointed with Brawlers, but if you've been waiting for something new to bring you back on the court, the wait continues. [June 2008, p.89]

Hardcore Gamer Magazine
Overall, it’s not the most sophisticated title on the block, but it’s worth it for the nostalgia value alone.

IGN
The overall experience is still very slow, and if the goal was to just emulate the original NES Dodge Ball experience, you'd be better off just digging that up or playing the cheaper, more advanced GBA version.

Retro fans will bemoan the left out favourite bits, while newcomers will feel it's a little bit simple. [Sept 2008, p.65]

1UP
It's an acceptable rendition of a time-tested classic -- a little too complex to stand beside its classic inspiration, a little too primitive to stand up to contemporary releases, but still decent.

Electronic Gaming Monthly
Brawlers offers incredible customization, but the front end looks like, well, an NES game. [June 2008, p.87]

Cheat Code Central
Super Dodgeball Brawlers is little more than a nostalgia trip, but it's a short trip, so there's no reason to pack your bags.
