Majesco Entertainment (Zumba Fitness: Rush) will be publishing NBA Baller Beats exclusively for Kinect this fall. NBA Baller Beats is simialr to a dance genre game in that it reads your movements as you try to match what you see on the screen. The difference is there is no dancing but there it s a basketball. The Kinect will read your body movements as you try to master ball handling skills and foot movements.
There will be a number of unlockables and a multiplayer in which 8 players battle it out head to head at the same time. NBA Baller Beats will also feature music from artists such as Kanye West, Run DMC, Gorillaz, Them Crooked Vultures, Common, Tiesto and more.
“NBA Baller Beats introduces an unprecedented way to experience basketball through a video game like never before,” said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer of Majesco Entertainment. “Our innovative play mechanic combined with Kinect technology puts the ball in players’ hands, tracking both full-body gameplay and ball movement, so players are going to have to get up and actually play basketball to get in the game. Ballers and fans alike will love this game.”
“We are excited to work with Majesco to provide basketball fans and gamers with a unique experience like NBA Baller Beats,” said Vicky Picca, Senior Vice President, Licensing & Business Affairs, NBA. “Showcasing the energy and dynamic elements of the NBA against the backdrop of a compelling soundtrack will be fun for fans of all ages.”
