Nacho LibreMajesco has announced the official game to the movie Nacho Libre, set for release in theaters soon. It will also be the first US wrestling game for the handheld. Budcat Creations, responsible for the Playstation 2 port of Psychonauts is developing the game and has said that their work will be inspired by the wrestling games AKi did for the Nintendo 64 (WCW/NWO Revenge, WWF No Mercy).

In Nacho Libre, players can select their favourite from more than 11 luchadores, one of them being the Jack Black-played Nacho, complete with his voice from the movie. Features of the game will include four different play modes, wireless matches for up to four players, a bunch of mini-games based on the DS touch screen features, and many different arenas taken from the film. Fights themselves will be varied and fun as players choose from a multitude of exaggerated wrestling moves and attacks.

Lucha Libre, in case you didn't know, essentially refers to Mexican professional wrestling, a highly popular sport in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries. While there has never been a game directly dedicated to it (or at least I'm not aware of one), it's traces can be found in tons of other games - Lisa from Dead Or Alive 4 originates from the sport, so does El Blaze from Virtua Fighter 5 and Tekken's King.

Nacho Libre: The Game is slated for an October 2006 release.

Majesco keep defiling the DS with their crap. They haven't released a decent game since the launch. And they have release many a game. But behold wonder of wonders they still manage to turn up a profit. unbelievable! It goes to show that they are correct in their strategy of publishing *****ty games with zero budgets, that way any sales are good sales. They're riding the coat-tails of the DS' success all the way to the bank. SAD.
