Fun fact: Acclaim were the publishers of Midway who developed the original NBA JAM. Acclaim wanted ownership of the game so they approached Midway and suggested naming the game "NBA JAM" meanwhile going behind Midway's backs and copyrighting the name so they could claim ownership.

[@DemiGodX]

I dont think the story went like that. Midway had made another basketball game previously called Arch Rivals and they were planning a new basketball game and midway through development they thought about acquiring a NBA license. Originally the NBA rejected the idea but they would approve it later after another pitch. The game was to be called NBA Jam Session which is a trademark owned by the NBA. they would soon shorten it to NBA Jam. then after the enormous success of the arcade release, Acclaim secured the rights for the home console releases. Midway at the time didn't have a console department. Acclaim isn't really known for putting out quality titles but the NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat ports were okay. The home console versions were a huge success, it generated more money than the Arcade vers. So Acclaim would have some secret meetings with the NBA to secure exclusive rights to the NBA Jam name for the next 7-8 years and Acclaim kinda ran the series to the ground. Midway could still use the NBA license though but they can't use the Jam name which is why they made NBA Hangtime and NBA Showtime. EA would have the license later in 2010

And in the end, the follow-ups to the NBA jam games from the original developers were NBA hangtime and NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC

NBA jam is my all time favorite arcade game. I still play the Xbox 360 version all the time. I'm really looking forward to this

[@jeremyk6456]

They already have this at Dave n Busters here in Vegas! I played a few games Wednesday. Super fun, although the movement is sluggish and not fluid like we remember NBA Jam being. Still a great time tho

[@Crypto-Mobile]

I played and would agree it’s slightly slow and unresponsive at times. Also 2v2 would have been better. With that said it still fun but it made me miss the original NBA Jam & Hangtime games.

[@nodayoff1000]

I played it in Michigan and it's fun to play

[@viperjay1]

I wonder how they got it so soon?

[@TravisGarnett]

As mentioned in the video, I hope there is also a 2v2 mode (especially for nostalgia and, according to the presented screenshots, the actual cabinet can support it). Definitely looking forward to learning more about NBA Superstars though, w/ all-of-the 🗣🎙"#RAZZLE_DAZZLE❕"

Need a port for ps5. Looks like the PERFECT ps portal game ⛹🏿‍♂️💨💨💨

[@aaronroberts8601]

I'd love to see you do a full length video about home ports of arcade games and how or if it affects the arcade versions.

[@arcadeheroes_coinop]

I have been kicking an idea for that around - definitely happening in the future some time :)

Hope they update the rosters ..

[@Sixxer1k]

2k has the sim license not the arcade license .. EA Still has the NBA JAM license for console

[@mr1000Cent]

Man, I'm a regular "Rain Man" when it comes to how much video games cost, but god damn, I did not know a new arcade game cost $15,000 (if I heard that correctly). Even $7,000 sounds like a lot, I guess that insures that only chain restaurants like Dave & Busters ends up with the new arcade games. That, and why my broke ass never got into the business or become a serious collector, LOL.

[@ArthurCallahan389]

Do arcades versions make as much as it would if they’d brought it to console instead?

[@viperjay1]

What price would be an overcharge? Is it possible to rent these machines for your business?

[@arcadeheroes_coinop]

Rentals are possible but fairly rare - if you can find an operator who owns it, they'd usually setup a percentage revenue split in a business situation(called revenue sharing). It can be tough to find them, since they are usually small and local as opposed to nationwide.

[@kevinkev1530]

Cool

[@LoganTheDevilMayCryFan]

I highly doubt this is going to see a home release as well, since a developer like Raw Thrills is pretty small, and plus, if they attempt to renew the NBA license for a console port of NBA Superstars, it'll likely bankrupt the company since they won't have much money. A similar situation could've happened with Cruis'n Blast back in 2021, where if Raw Thrills attempted to renew the Lamborghini license for a home port and kept everything intact, the company would have went bankrupt right there

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]
