Hulk Hogan’s Kinect Game Teaches Art Of Wrestling Showmanship

Being a successful professional wrestler takes more than having the right moves in the ring, and no one knows that better than the legendary Hulk Hogan. That’s why the Kinect-powered Hulk Hogan’s Main Event focuses as much on winning the crowd as it does winning the match.

Terry Gene Bollea didn’t become one of the world’s most iconic wrestlers by knowing how to do an Atomic Drop. He did it by becoming Hulk Hogan, a bombastic, charismatic, and generally larger-than-life personality capable of bending a crowd to his will whether a shining red and gold hero or a black-stubbled villain. The man knows how to put on a show. Hopefully he knows how to put on a game as well.

In Hulk Hogan’s Main Event, developed by Panic Button for Majesco, the Impact Wrestling superstar takes players’ custom characters under his meaty wing, guiding them on the path to stardom. He’ll coach them on his signature poses as well as more than 30 wrestling combos using MIcrosoft’s Kinect sensor to measure their movements. The more dynamic their motions, the more effective their performance. Once they feel the true power of Hulkamania coursing through their veins players are sure to dominate the game’s nine increasingly lavish venues. It even supports two-player tag team matches, complete with virtual metal chairs and ladders, which certainly won’t lead to anyone getting serious hurt.

“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!”

He’s right! Too long have our inner wrestlers been leashed! Too long have our wrestling games delivered the sport without the spectacle! It’s time to put on the hurt!

See? The guy is really good at that.

Hulk Hogan’s Main Event is due out this fall from Majesco. Keep an eye out for more Hulkamania during E3 early next month.
