NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Aug 16, 2012) - The New York Liberty today announced a new marketing partnership with Majesco Entertainment's (NASDAQ: COOL) NBA Baller Beats, an interactive high-energy basketball experience on Kinect™ for Xbox 360®. NBA Baller Beats is the first ever full body motion-based NBA video game that uses a real ball to help basketball fans master a series of ball-handling skills set to an eclectic soundtrack of hip-hop, rock, and old school favorites.

As part of the partnership the Liberty is inviting fans to experience NBA Baller Beats at an Interactive Fan Zone at the Prudential Center. NBA Baller Beats is being released to the public on Sept. 11, but will be previewed to Liberty fans at home games now through Sept. 9 via hands-on demo stations enabling fans to play. NBA Baller Beats will also have a presence at New York Knicks and Liberty summer camps and events where the Knicks Groove Truck is scheduled to appear throughout the summer as well as select Liberty Fit community events.

"We are thrilled to be working with Majesco to amplify the launch of their new game, NBA Baller Beats," said Kristin Bernert, vice president of marketing and operations, New York Liberty. "As a New Jersey based company, they are the perfect partner to engage in our grassroots basketball and health and wellness platforms.

As the official partner of the Liberty Fit Initiative, Majesco Entertainment will work with the team to promote health, wellness and an active lifestyle through a number of activities planned for children throughout the 2012 WNBA season. The Interactive Fan Zones are the first of a series of these community based events.
