Featuring NBA Jam, Tournament Edition, and Hangtime
Arcade1Up is showing its new range of 3/4-scale arcade cabinets at CES 2020, and one of them – an online-enabledNBA Jammachine withTournament EditionandHangtime– should be a crowd-pleaser. It’s just one of those classic lightning-in-a-bottle games that people want to hold onto forever.
TheNBA Jamarcade cabinet isn’t available for pre-order yet, but we have a few promising details.
The big one: the original team rosters are intact, “minus some players [Arcade1Up] couldn’t get [the] rights to,” according to senior vice president of licensing and business development John Diamonon.
“ForNBA Jamvanilla, we currently don’t have rights for three players,”he added. “ForTournament Editionwe have about 90% of the OG roster andHangtimeabout 80-85% of the OG roster. It’s likely to ship this way with a possibility to update the OG rosters as we continue to attain rights.”
The other head-turner: these cabinets havefree online multiplayer supportforNBA Jam,NBA Jam Tournament Edition, andNBA Hangtime. If that runs reliably, it’ll certainly sweeten the pot.
Here’s some gameplay footage captured from the CES show floor. Worth noting: there are options for head size, scanlines, computer assistance, sound during game over, drone difficulty, and timer speed.
