NBA Baller Beats: Make Space to Jam in your living room
You’re gonna need all of Majesco’s Mamas to help clean up after destroying your living room with the publisher’s latest Kinect game, NBA Baller Beats. What in the world is NBA Baller Beats, pray tell? Why it’s, “a fun, high energy and first-of-its kind participative basketball video game launching this fall exclusively on Kinect for the Xbox 360,” of course! Yes, you read that right: it’s a Kinect game played with an actual basketball in your living room.
It looks like Majesco is going all out for this one, with a tracklist featuring the likes of “Kanye West, Run DMC, Gorillaz, Them Crooked Vultures, Common, Tiesto and more.” No word is given on Majesco partnering with any insurance companies alongside the game’s launch this fall, but we expect to hear more on that at E3.
Update: USA Today’s exclusive on the game describes it as more of a rhythm/music game than a dribbling coach. “Players bounce the ball to the beat of the music; your visual cue is a line of basketballs that flows on a musical trail,” it reads.You’ll also need to perform specific moves along the way. “An icon prepares you for an upcoming basketball move you need to perform, also in time with the music. That may be a crossover from one hand to the other, a dribble between the legs, a pass fake or shot fake.” Color us intrigued! We’re still terrified for our living rooms, of course.Continue reading NBA Baller Beats: Make Space to Jam in your living roomNBA Baller Beats: Make Space to Jam in your living room originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 25 Apr 2012 09:50:00 EST.
