That’s what’s keeping me from demanding a new NBA Jam or NHL Hitz. It would be the same bullshit they pull with their licensed sports simulation games. The death of Midway was one of the worst of the seventh video game generation. Their non-sports licenses went to Warner Bros. and they’ve done dick with them outside of Mortal Kombat.

NBA Jam worked so well, because the UI was simple but also polished and eye-catching. It reinforced a button mashing, frenetic and fun playstyle that helped it fit in with 90's contemporaries like Street Fighter. It really was a crossover sports game that drew even non-sports people in, as did Golden Tee.

Yeah same these arcade games had me hooked as a kid , got to a point where my dad just started getting me consoles and a shit ton of games at launch and throughout the year just to feed my habit 😂 still haven’t grown out of it

First off I love this video. Gave me a whole bunch of flashbacks. I have the most nostalgia for NBA Showtime. To put it bluntly it was my childhood obsession. I’ve played it since I was 3 and still very much want a machine. My life would be complete haha. That said though, I played the original NBA Jam for the first time 2 years ago. I understood why it was and continues to be iconic to this day. To be perfectly honest those catchphrases are part of the reason why I wanted to go into sports broadcasting. Long live the legend.

Remember spending hours and hours at the aracde playing this game . Later on getting this game for Sega Genesis system . Playing it until I beat it .

Man, watching this video again makes me want to play NBA JAM (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, Game Gear), NBA JAM Tournament Edition (Arcade, SNES, Genesis, 32X, SEGA CD, Atari Jaguar, PS1, Game Gear), NBA Hangtime (Arcade, N64, PS1), NBA Maximum Hangtime (Arcade), NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC (Arcade, N64, PS1, Dreamcast), NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC Gold Edition (Arcade), NBA Hoopz (PS1, Dreamcast, PS2), NBA JAM 2004 (PS2, OG XBOX), NBA Ballers (PS2, XBOX), NBA Ballers: Phenom (PS2, OG XBOX) NBA JAM 2010 (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360), NBA JAM: On Fire Edition (Xbox 360 via XBLA) NBA JAM Legends: On Fire Edition Mod (PS3), NBA Playgrounds (PC via Steam) all on my Steam Deck and NBA Playgrounds 2 on my Nintendo Switch OLED and Steam Deck! I really miss the old days when we had arcade style games on consoles that were so much FUN and ENTERTAINING when we were getting sick and tired of the simulation style basketball games! At least there’s RoboDunk that I haven’t played yet which is NBA JAM but with robots and it’s a roguelike!

As a Gm at a restaurant, having that Ringtone " he's on fire " pumps up my employees during a deep rush of customers. Such positive good times.

There's an active hacking scene for NBA Jam now as well. There's hacks that update rosters, add quality of life changes, and more. It's ridiculous how big it is and goes to show that this game really impacted the lives of many people.

I'm more of a Bulls vs Lakers and the NBA Playoffs person myself, but I'm pretty sure both games were nearly identical. Good to see another old-schooler here though.

I love NBA JAM Tournament Edition (PS1 via PSP), NBA Hangtime (PS1), NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC (PS1, Dreamcast), NBA Hoopz (PS1, Dreamcast, PS2), NBA JAM 2004 (PS2), NBA Ballers (PS2, XBOX), NBA Ballers: Phenom (PS2) NBA JAM 2010 (Xbox 360), NBA JAM: On Fire Edition (Xbox 360) and NBA Playgrounds 2 (Nintendo Switch) and I don’t care what anyone says about those games. I will love them all to death. Even though NBA Hoopz, NBA JAM 2004, NBA Ballers and NBA Ballers: Phenom are not the same as NBA JAM and NBA JAM Tournament Edition from the past. But NBA JAM 2010 and NBA JAM: On Fire Edition are the same as NBA JAM and NBA JAM Tournament Edition but they have so many similarities and differences that make them unique and fun in long run in my opinion!

Max Hangtime was the best version of the game. I don’t know how anyone who has played both would pick OG NBA Jam over Max Hangtime.

NBA Jam On Fire Edition on 360 was excellent.

NBA Showtime (1999-2000) was the best out of the series

Great videos bro 👍🏾👍🏾. Keep it up.

Played the hell outta these games as a kid. Hella fun. Straight up classics

1) I love the EA NBA Jam games. I still remember when the first one came out on disc. It was $30 or $40 I believe and people lost their minds. I didn't get it considering the original console versions were $50. 2) Do you have any info on how many Jam cabinets Arcade 1Up has sold? I have one and it;'s awesome.

NBA Courtside was awesome too back in late 90s I think

My brother had the NBA Jam games since then. I was a baby when my brother had the first one and Tournament edition on the SNES. NBA Jam was one of the first games I ever saw. And later on, I got NBA Jam on the Wii just to play it. I actually wouldn't mind if EA Sports could reboot the series again for a new generation.

NBA Jam is one of the reasons I own a SNES. Still super fun.

Arch Rivals, from what I can remember, started the over the top arcade style basketball games.

I used to play this game so much, I still play it sometimes on my phone

In the zone, showtime and Hangtime were great too

The hair is looking good as new SD. 👍

Also, I highly recommend everyone to search for The uncensored commentary for NBA Jam Childhood breaking

The original NBA Jam was great, but I honestly think NBA Jam 2010 was the best one. It adds so much extra, memorable content and it maintains the awesome, over the top vibes of the original. Same announcer as the original game, but he has way more memorable lines.

I still play it to this day

You bring the peanut butter and I’LL BRING THE JAM!!😤

I loved NBA Jam. Also I played Archrivals on NES.

I miss the days when you could do all kinds of crazy things in sports games. I don't like the true to life simulation games. I don't even like basketball but love this game. They had an NBA Jaam cabinet at the local bowling alley. Pretty sure I but the bowling alley owner's kid through college with the amount of money I stuck in that thing.

This was a fun game. Nostalgic. :)

2003 and 2010 nba jam my favorite ones the nostalgia

NBA showtime on nbc for Nintendo 64 was pretty much nba jam as iconic as it got loved the game and I never even owned it. Miss that game

I wanna see a documentary of nhl hitz series.

Bro, I always forget your real name, but your a phenomenal story teller. Some of your Madden Videos are some of the best videos ever. Just keep doing what your doing and fuck all the idiots on social media. When people criticize my videos, I always look at there critique's as honest as I can then I thank them for there support. Then they end up subbing to my channel.(almost at 1K, so close) Anyway bro your a beast. Keep up the amazing work, we all got your back bro!!!

I was hoping they created a version when my SuperSonics played last, in 2008.

Love this game still today

I played both NBA Jam and TE on top of NBA Jam 99 on N64. NBA Jam 99 on N64 had both Kevin Harlem and Bill Walton as the announcers and it is a fun version of the game despite it going away from the NBA Jam formula. Yeah NBA Jam released in 2010 looks like a good game. Never played it but I want to.

A billion dollars in quarters. That's A LOT of quarters!

The Acclaim-developed titles felt more like "NBA Jam but in name only" (1:16, 5:48, 8:56)

that 2010 game looks just like the original. ONE OF THE GREAT GAMES OF ALL TIME.. that NBA Playgrounds consept is cool as hell - grindin or paying to get new players.
