NBA Jam: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

''NBA Jam'' is a two-on-two basketball game that was released in the arcades (by [[Midway Games]]) and 16-bit consoles (by [[Acclaim]]). The game is notorious for its insane dunks and equally insane catchup. The game became a phenomenon when it was released in 1993, [[Cash Cow Franchise|earning over a billion dollars in quarters over its lifespan]]. An [[Updated Rerelease]] called ''NBA Jam Tournament Edition'' quickly followed, with new players, stat tracking, and hidden players. In 2010, [[Electronic Arts|EA]] would release ''NBA Jam'' on the 7th-generation consoles.

* [[Guest Fighter]]: Raiden, Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' were [[Dummied Out]] from NBA Jam Tournament Edition, although they can be played through hacks.

** In the ''On Fire'' edition of ''NBA Jam 2010'', Elise, Mac and Kaori are members of Team [[SSX]]. Another bonus team (Team EA) consists of ''[[Mirror's Edge]]'' and ''[[Dead Space (video game)|Dead Space]]'' protagonists Faith and Issac Clarke. The game also features the now-defunct Seattle Supersonics as a playable team (with Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp playing), as well as a team based of ''NBA Street'', some international teams and a couple of other random oddball players.

* [[Medium Blending]]: The Wii revival will use digitized player heads on 3D models. [http://kotaku.com/5449844/a-first-look-at-nba-jam-for-the-wii Like this.]

* [[Mirror Match]]: Possible with any team and any set of players, yet played straight with Vince Carter in the ''On Fire Edition'' of the 2010 game, who is present in the Phoenix Suns as a regular player and as an unlockable one for the Toronto Raptors (Carter's old team, of which he is well-known for playing with).
