EDISON, NJ--(Marketwire - May 24, 2012) - Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), publisher of the highly anticipated and innovative basketball video game NBA Baller Beats, is teaming up with two world-renowned basketball brands whose products are set to enhance the authentic basketball experience in the game.

Majesco Entertainment today confirmed that NBA Baller Beats, a fun, high-energy and first-of-its kind game that requires players to use a real basketball to play, will come packaged with a full-sized officially-licensed NBA game ball replica from Spalding, the official provider of the NBA game basketball. NBA Baller Beats, which is set to launch this fall exclusively on Kinect™ for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, gets players on their feet mastering ball handling skills while playing to the beat of an electrifying soundtrack. The Kinect motion sensor captures every movement of both player and ball to create an entirely new basketball gaming experience.
