Edison, NJ (October 24, 2006) - Majesco today announced that Nacho Libre for the DS has shipped to retailers nationwide.

From Majesco:

Based on the Paramount Pictures'/Nickelodeon Movies' film starring Jack Black, Majesco's Nacho Libre video game offers fans comedic wrestling mayhem -- exaggerated moves, wacky props and lots of pratfalls, all delivered in a unique "photo puppetry" visual style.

"We are excited to introduce the first wrestling title for the Nintendo DS," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing, Majesco Entertainment. "With both the game and movie DVD scheduled for release on the same day, fans should put on their stretchy pants, load up on toast and head straight to their quarters for wrestling mayhem."

Nacho Libre, which opened in theaters in June and is now available on DVD, stars Jack Black as Ignacio (Nacho), a cook by day in a Mexican orphanage who moonlights as a Lucha Libre wrestler to raise money for the orphans in this comedy from the creators of "Napoleon Dynamite" and the writer of "The School of Rock."

In Majesco's Nacho Libre game, players can play as Nacho or 19 other luchadors, all with their own signature moves, based on characters from the movie. Six modes of play include Story (single-player tied to the movie plot), Team (2-on-2) and Battle Jam (2-4 player wireless brawls). Players can also use the Touch Screen to play eight related mini-games including Nachoball, Bee Swat, Bullrun and Chariot Jump.
