NBA Jam Returns
 

There are not enough words in the English language to explain how happy it makes me to see this game return.

Now, let's hope it sells well enough to get us Blitz.

Wow... I totally expected the photographic heads to look retarded. It actually works rather well.

Boom-Shaka-Laka <3

i didnt like Blitz: The League, so hopefully they dont make another like that

Never thought I'd see the day when EA would get their greedy paws on Midway's once sacred cow.

Still, the game looks great!

Seeing as Midway is now a dead memory, I'm glad its living on. Besides, they've got members of the original teams on-board with it.

Well, that's good to know. I really wonder who owns what ex-Midway properties these days.
Rampage?
The Blitz formerly licensed by the NFL?
Mortal Kombat?
San Francisco Rush?
Hydro Thunder?
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing?

So many fond memories bound up in old Midway arcade cabinets and Dreamcast launch titles....

Mortal Kombat went to Warner Bros. I think EA bought all the Midway sports brands and might revive them if Jam does well (they've got all the licenses anyway). Lsat year Hydro Thunder got a spiritual successor in the form of H2Overdrive (in arcades) from RawThrills, a studio made up of ex-Midway employees who worked on Hydro Thunder, Cruisn' USA and a bunch of other classics. Its a straight up sequel and fun as hell.

I don't care about this game unless The Fresh Prince is a secret character.

EA already has a arcade style NFL game though

A Ready 2 Rumble game came out on the Wii last year.

It didn't fare too well. See the "Reception" heading for more:

Haven't played it myself, but I'm actually waffling over whether to even try it at this point.

Hell yes! I loved this game when I was younger so I will def be picking this up.

Yeah. Atari picked up the license and sandbagged it. So sad, because the original kicked ASS.

NBA Jam
 

I enjoyed the original video game when it game out.

and the videos been removed...damn you Viacom

Yeah right? Protecting their copyright and junk. What jerks.

What exactly is Viacom's claim on this? The copyright was held by Midway, now a part of Warner Bros., and the game is being published by EA.

Also: Viacom is notorious for a load of dick moves when it comes to video banning on Youtube that are outside of standard internet copyright laws, and YT simply bent over and complied with them.

I think they have something to do with Gametrailers.com and that clip is off of Gametrailers.

Oh okay. That makes sense.

No Afro Thunder means no sale!:ohwell:
