Majesco has tonight unveiled a teaser trailer for an upcoming game called NBA Baller Beats. It is…look, just watch the clip.
That’s rapper Common narrating the trailer. The aim of the game is to bounce a basketball – in your living room – in time with the music, then when certain prompts appear, perform some kind of a basketball move. Like Guitar Hero. Only…with a basketball. A real one. In your living room.
I watched this three times convinced it was a joke, but nope. There’s a USA Today piece on it, which adds the game will feature music from “Kanye West, Gorillaz, Run-DMC, Skrillex, Common, TiĂ«sto and Them Crooked Vultures”, and that it’ll feature full NBA licensing.
Amazing. Majesco, you’re either crazy, or have balls of steel. Basketballs of steel.
