arcadeheroes.com/2024/05/20/t... - That's right, NBA Jam is back in arcades, although with a new look and name. Developed by some ex-Midway staff, this looks to revive the spirit of what made NBA Jam so awesome for today's arcade. More details coming to ArcadeHeroes.com shortly. #nba #basketball #nbajam

I still can’t believe they can’t update nba jam and put it out with new rosters, it’s such a simple game

@arcadeheroes_coinop Ай бұрын

The cost of the NBA & NBPA licenses would already be a bit high; then to grab the NBA Jam license from whomever owns it now (EA, I think) makes it a little untenable. As it is, the game is already $15k, which is a lot to ask for a joystick game (they usually don't earn all that well). While it would have been nice, I don't think that the NBA Jam name would make it earn that much better for the extra $1000/$2000 that license would probably add to the cost. :/

I hope this one gets an international release too, since the NBA is very popular globally. As for a console port, I think 2K will be publishing it, since they have the NBA league and Players Association license for home video games.

Cabinet’s a little too basic imo (way too similar to Minecraft Dungeons Arcade), and the decision to not have it be 6-player confuses me, but this game kicks serious ass in every other way, from the controls to Tim’s ramblings. Coworker and I decided to go all four quarters and the game was pretty much neck and neck the whole way through. Never had as much fun playing an arcade game in years. 👌🏻

Yeah, this is definitely something I'll go out of my way to find and play. Then it comes down to mechanics. If it's not as much fun as NBA Jam I'll move on after one or two games. One concern is that there have been so many self-proclaimed spiritual sequels to NBA Jam that I've grown quite wary of imitators. But it looks good in motion, and three buttons is the same number that NBA Jam had. So hopefully the gameplay feels authentic to all that made NBA Jam an arcade legend or has managed to improve on it.

Ed Boon was happy to say that as soon as he saw NBA Superstars, he was reminded of NBA Jam. I'm somewhat looking forward to it. I want arcade racing games, but I also want arcade sports games. I hope Raw Thrills makes a San Francisco Rush Sequel or Spiritual Successor. I'm glad Cruis'n is back, but I wish San Francisco Rush would come back too. Spy Hunter has a spiritual successor, Agent Intercept.

@arcadeheroes_coinop Ай бұрын

SF Rush is tough because that is owned by Warner Bros., but there are quite a few other new arcade racers that have recently been released, including: Apex Rebels (Sega), Dead Heat Unleashed (Bandai Namco), NFS Heat Takedown (Adrenaline), Smash DX (LAI Games), Fast & Furious Arcade (Raw Thrills), and some others. Sports games, most have become basketball games where you're shooting real hoops, but there was a new baseball video game that came out called Bobblehead Baseball VS. Videos of all these games can be found on the channel here :)

@@arcadeheroes_coinop If it doesn't work out because of WB, it's okay to make a spiritual successor under the San Francisco Dash name. Because Agent Intercept seemed like a Spy Hunter sequel to me.

I finished NBA jam on fire edition a couple of yrs ago for the 1st time and really liked it... This seems like a much better game overall, however they missed a good opportunity here to do cross platform... WITH arcades. Imagine tapping into other players while they're at home and you're at the arcade...it would be a step above what snk was doing with the neo-geo back in the day....come to think of it, I think arcades would get a bit of a resurrection if some of their games had a home counterpart to play against online.

@@arcadeheroes_coinop Slam sounds like a bad imitation to me. I actually like NBA Superstars a lot better. Maybe because I sometimes watch pro wrestling but "superstars" is a very energetic, over-the-top word in my mind. WWE uses it regularly, and in 2011, when it came to one of their own supercharged arcade-energy games, they used the name WWE All-Stars to differentiate from that but still communicate that the game was about presenting their top athletes performing beyond reality's limitations.

As an arcade owner, I’d never buy a brand new game at that price. It’s definitely not a “destination game” or a game that people are going to drive an hour+ to go play (as opposed to certain pinball machines, rhythm machines, or certain competitive drivers). People aren’t going out of their way to play modern quarter eaters, they go out of their way to play skill-based games. I’m guessing the place they’d try to justify that price is due to licensing. There’s no way that 4 player cab with no special proprietary controls/mechanisms is worth more than $1k just in parts, cpu, monitor, lighting, etc. this would probably sell well around $7999. New games are far too expensive, and all the large FECs are buying up every game so it doesn’t matter.

@arcadeheroes_coinop Ай бұрын

That really does depend on the area, as far as whether or not its a destination game, although the chances of every FEC out there grabbing one certainly do reduce that. Costs are easy to assume but there are factors we just don't know about. That said, had this been done in 2019, then it likely would have been around $8k. Costs just haven't come down yet as inflation has just been getting worse, not better. Another factor they have to consider is recouping soft dev costs - in the past, Eugene Jarvis said games cost about $4 million to develop. That's likely much higher now, so they have to recoup it some way. Still, I agree that it'd be great to start seeing games fall below the $10k mark again.
