When Scorpion was in a basketball game

[@allekid]

Scoprion will never be ballin' desk:

[@Lostcontroller]

As a note, you can only access these characters on Rev. 2.0 of the game. They were taken out on later revisions at the request of the NBA.

[@ViktorKruger99]

legend say the midway guys added those characters without NBA's permission lmao the 90s were wild, that will never ever happen today

[@Lostcontroller]

@@ViktorKruger99 Yes, but the NFL was a-ok with MK characters playing football against their teams. The 90s were indeed wild.

[@junkmail6274]

Rev 2 on which system?

[@BIGGIEDEVIL]

@@junkmail6274 mame

[@kamikaze82]

@@junkmail6274 The characters were only ever in the arcade so Rev 2 just refers to an updated arcade version.

Man, seeing NBA Jam on screen brought back a lot of nostalgia for me. I had the game on SNES way back as a kid in the mid-90s and I played the hell out of it. That and mk2 and Killer Instinct.

[@andreafocosi1142]

I bought a SNES multitap only so I could play NBA Jam and Secret of Mana with friends. While I'm not usually big on sports game, playing NBA Jam 2vs2 players with friends was one of the best gaming things I ever did

[@daakrolb]

Oh I know! I didn’t play much NBA Jam, but others did while I was playing Mortal Kombat! All those call out terms will forever be in my brain- “he’s on fire! Boom shaka-laka!” Along with all the sounds- sneaker squeaks, air horns…. Them were the days.

[@wiggi0620]

@@daakrolb maaaan, those sneaker sounds. What a game lmao

[@SutoritoSenpai]

i feel you bro. miss playing this with my neighbour as a kid

[@sonicloud7774]

Damn I could have sworn you were my brother. Me and my big brother did the same thing.

[@StephanieHua]

Desk, this is why fellow people of your generation fuck wit' chu. All of these secrets I would read about in magazines, but nobody had the time, money, (and perhaps curiosity) to lurk in an arcade to confirm any of these codes to see them in action. No annoying intros, no filler, just straight to the point with the juicy details. Keep the quality videos coming!

[@KitoBallard]

The edit on the Reptile Fatality with the Blood Glob was slick as hell.

[@Shining4Dawn]

Yo! I didn't even notice that. But he did the same thing with the pit finish at 0:49

[@Jetanium]

I know y'all wasn't watching a desk video and didnt expect a transition or 4

Not only does NBA Jam have a shitton of secret characters, but it's just a straight up awesome game in general. To this day, I don't think I've played another basketball game that's anywhere near as fun.

[@Gameking92888]

You never played streets vol 2?

[@troywright359]

​@@Gameking92888 or V3, or the NBA Jam on 360

[@OnYourSquare]

1. That was my favorite NBA Jam announcer. "Puts the nail in the coffin!!" 2. Sucks the NBA forced Midway to remove them. For years Scorpion in NBA Jam was an urban legend. Or something a friend of a friend said he'd seen.

[@jeremyriley1238]

Well, that's to be expected, as Mortal Kombat was infamous for being violent, and the NBA does not want their image tainted by being tied to such a game.

[@OnYourSquare]

@@jeremyriley1238 I understand the reasoning. This was at the time the videogame industry was going through its "violence in videogames" phase. Still, hooping using pallette swap MK characters was kind of cool.

[@FeiTheVillain]

Michael Jordan was also a rumored hidden character that didn't exist lmao

[@paulosantiago7457]

Netherrelms studio should add something like this in the next MK game as a game mode.

[@DatOneGuy901]

I remember going to the arcade and flipping my lid seeing ppl use the MK characters in NBA Jam. It was so surreal at the time.

[@jinderbreadman]

This game and Tecmo Super Bowl were the sports games of my youth. That NBA Jam 'Team Selection Theme' still sounds good after all these years, too!

[@MusicoftheDamned]

02:51 I think seeing the _WWF Wrestlemania_ game actually managed to evoke even more nostalgia than just being reminded me of this NBA game did, which is saying a lot. Pretty sure I only played that one on the Genesis though, not in arcades (back when those still existed, in ancient times of yore).

[@gillgillgillgillgill]

i love the sweet little bit of serendipity that is raiden next to "thunder" dan majerle

[@S1n3at3r]

As always your film editing skills and idea of mixing them are top tier!

That scorpion uppercut edit stole my soul

[@ajp1282]

These codes were like currency when I was in the 5th grade. All kids in my neighborhood was playing NBA Jam you knew the coolest kid had or knew all the codes. Man, good times!

[@CSPCantStopPlaying]

I knew about the characters but I didn't realize there was a fatality code or the various hints at future games. Not what I would have expected from you but a welcome surprise nonetheless

[@SpySecretSquirrel]

Literal definition of HE'S ON FIRE!

[@thepuppetmaster9284]

Ahh NBA Jam. I had tons of fun playing this game with my childhood friends ☺️. And NBA Jam also one of the reason that made me loves Basketball. But i didn’t know there’re codes that can make MK characters playable 😮

[@Adeptzed]

Wow. Missed that Scorpion fatality action back in the day. How cool is that. Thanks for sharing!

[@thetrufenix]

I'm one million years old and I never knew about fatalities in NBA Jam.

[@JeffKGaming]

I NEED to see Desk do a Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game combo video. It's already super busted, I can't wait to see him break it even further.

[@kyosukeneo5997]

having a tough time, but this brought a smile to my face, thanks desk

[@rasui80]

Huh.. so Scorpion in a basket game wasn't a fever dream after all

[@IamJdTrent]

This is probably the most shine Thunder Dan Majerle has had in awhile

[@BearBoulder]

I remember playing this in a tiny arcade in Philly years ago as a wee lad. God I never knew this stuff existed! This was a nostalgia hit for me... And I loved playing NBA Jam. Which also had an MK3 cab right next too it. (I remember getting kicked out all the time for cracking open the coin slot and programming free play into the machine while no one was looking. Guy taught me, was awesome... Till getting kicked out.)

[@merkyofaycemfx2944]

Raiden and Shinnok also made apperances in NFL Blitz 2000

[@RogueCheepSheep]

Wow, I think the most egregious thing is that the WWF logo was in an official NBA game.

[@kaihedgie1747]

Of all the things I expected yer channel to cover, this threw me for a loop

[@erics8192]

I had the chance to buy a NBA Jam arcade game cabinet, the full size one with 4 players, for $300 in 1997. I was a poor college kid at the time and didn't do it. That's one thing I kind of regret not doing.

[@camsmk4232]

This video SCREAMS 90s! Thank you for the nostalgic pick me up Desk!

[@SilentKGaming]

Wow! I always new of the MK characters being playable, but never knew of the Fatalities! That’s awesome!

[@TheMeetymeet]

It's funny that I had both MK2 and NBA Jam as a kid. Midway was truly amazing to have back in the day.

[@RedForeman]

Midway was truly one of a kind crazy how they went under

[@pepelepirate]

And here I thought mortal kombat will never be Ballin'.

Us 80’s and 90’s babies had some of the greatest games ever!

I used to have a whole code book I ain't never think about unlocking Mortal Kombat characters this was a Midway game so they definitely had mk characters

[@Holothurion]

To sum it up: the 90s. Those were the days. 😎

[@NigzBlackman]

I love when companies do things like this haha it always makes me happy

[@jarrelllaw6299]

That music sounds like something from NBA jam

[@saterialcollins2039]

Ah made me think of the full court dunk code. Was a beast to pull do it but worth it if pulled off!

[@aznpikachu215]

Raiden and Shinnok were in NFL Blitz too.

[@DasNordlicht91]

“Fatalities” in the NBA world = being set on fire and getting up, none the worse for wear.

[@jblue88hoodgamer54]

Don't forget that Scorpion was also in NBL game and in a shooter called psy Oops and also Johnny Cage and Raiden where in a WWE game called WWE Immortal s and WWE Xavier Woods was Raiden in that game and sorry for the bad spelling.

Gotta love that if you make a generic body for every char, you can just make secret chars by changing heads and pallet. Unlimited extra characters!
