EDISON, N.J., Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Majesco Entertainment
Company, an innovative provider of digital
entertainment products and content, today announced Nacho Libre for the
Nintendo DS(TM) has shipped to retailers nationwide. Based on the Paramount
Pictures'/Nickelodeon Movies' film starring Jack Black, Majesco's Nacho
Libre video game offers fans comedic wrestling mayhem -- exaggerated moves,

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.
