“We are excited to introduce the first wrestling title for the Nintendo DS,” said John Merchant, European Marketing Manager, Majesco Europe.  “Fans should put on their stretchy pants, load up on toast and head straight to their quarters for wrestling mayhem.”

Nacho Libre, which  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.
