Hulkify Your Living Room as the World's Most Famous Professional Wrestler Puts the Kapow! in Your Kinect
EDISON, NJ--(Marketwire - May 27, 2011) - Wrestling icon, IMPACT
WRESTLING Superstar, and global sensation Hulk Hogan and Majesco
Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video
games for the mass market, announced today a strategic partnership to
develop Hulk Hogan's Main Event, exclusively on Kinect™ for Xbox 360®
for an expected release this fall. Developed by Panic Button LLC, Hulk
Hogan's Main Event is the first performance-based wrestling game on
Kinect for Xbox 360 that lets players train with mentor Hulk Hogan as
they build their own wrestling personalities and learn the art of
showmanship to win over the crowd.
"Hulk Hogan is much more than a wrestling star; he's a sports
entertainment icon with a huge personality, a massive following on
Spike's IMPACT WRESTLING, and immediate recognition across generations
of fans," said Jesse Sutton, CEO Majesco Entertainment. "Partnering with
the Hulkster for Hulk Hogan's Main Event is a dream come true and we're
looking forward to releasing a no holds barred motion-based experience
that offers a full suite of over-the-top moves."
"Listen up, people! You will feel the power of Hulkamania when you step
into this game," said Hulk Hogan. "Whether you are taking the damage or
selling the pain, this game will let you unleash your inner wrestler as
you hype up the crowd while putting the hurt on anyone that stands in
your way!"
Hulk Hogan's longtime marketing agent, Darren Prince, CEO of Prince
Marketing Group, said, "When we started discussions with Majesco on the
format of this game we knew it was a perfect fit for Hulk's global
brand."
In Hulk Hogan's Main Event, players will learn the ropes from the man
himself as Hulk Hogan schools them on delivering the best show for the
crowd by emulating famous Hulk poses and performing more than 30
punishing combos. The Kinect sensor tracks players' every move; the more
dynamic the motion, the more high impact the wrestler's performance is.
Players will create their own unique wrestler personality through a
robust create-a-wrestler feature including many choices for face, hair,
tattoos, outfit, ethnicity, body type, and entrance music. Perform in
nine different venues including the backyard brawl, local gym and giant
stadium in front of a massive audience. Enter tournament mode for two
player tag-team and take turns delivering extreme moves. Best of all,
players can wield a variety of damaging objects including metal chairs
and ladders to deliver bone-jarring hits to their opponents.
Developed by Panic Button LLC, Hulk Hogan's Main Event is expected to
launch on Kinect for Xbox 360 this fall. Hulk Hogan will be making an
appearance at E3 on Tuesday, 6/7/11, courtesy of IMPACT WRESTLING. For
