jerzdawg Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 One word is synonymous with the most addictive two-on-two basketball in the history of the sport. Boomshakalaka. It's a word that instantly transports you back to 1993, when NBA JAM was introduced as the first arcade game officially licensed by the league and soon became the most lucrative coin-operated machine ever seen. It's a game so revered for its exaggerated dunks, long-distance swishes and unforgettable catchphrases ("He's on fire!") that literally dozens of current NBA players can't wait for December, when EA SPORTS unveils its updated version of NBA JAM for the Nintendo Wii.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted March 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2010 "Is it the shoes?" Haha, good times. The trailer was pretty good. I might just pick it up for my brother's Wii, just for old time's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogerjones Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Best arcade game ever. My wife and I bought one a few years ago. I'd be very surprised if EA can pull this off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 25, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 25, 2010 This should be an XBLA release. It would make a crap load of money from guys like me. remember how you had to use a code to unlock michael jordan? like left left left right down etc etc etc then select pippen or someone and they turn into jordan. Ohh classic... Damn, I forgot about that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minifig Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 This should be an XBLA release. It would make a crap load of money from guys like me. XBLA and PS3. I'll betcha it'd make more money than it does off the Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Flash Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Wii only? This would be perfect for PSN and XBLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scumdogmillionaire Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 This should be an XBLA release. It would make a crap load of money from guys like me. Damn, I forgot about that lol Yeah it would. I imagine anyone 25-30 would by an XBLA version. I sure would. I had it on genesis. My brother and I would play all the time. I remember ARK unlocked bill clinton. We were playing trivial pursit (some new edition) a few years back with my family and a question came up that asked who you unlocked with code ARK, my dad thought we were cheating when we both shouted out the answer. hahaha. There was also P Funk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Haze Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I still have NBA Jam TE for the PS1 - old school, when PS1 games still came in those huge cases. That was the best version, by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
