NBA Jam on Android

EA Sports have released a version of NBA Jam for Android OS based smartphones and tablets. The game features traditional 2-on-2 NBA Jam gameplay with high flying dunks and includes three modes of play.

3 modes of play let you ball the way you want:
Play Now – Select a team and jump right into the ballgame.

Classic Campaign – Defeat all other teams to win the championship, and unlock legends, hidden players, and outrageous cheats.
Local Multiplayer – Go big head 2 big head against a friend via local WiFi or Bluetooth

The game also features commentary from Tim Kitzrow, the voice of NBA Jam. The North American version is available here for $4.99, while the rest of the world can pick up the international version here for $4.76.

 

For those who haven’t seen it yet, last week Video Game Ephemera uploaded a rare video featuring the license pitch that was made to the NBA for the original NBA Jam way back in 1992. The video explains some of the tech behind NBA Jam and reveals some interesting information about the original concept, which would have included multiple camera angles and more of a realistic approach, though it still featured 2-on-2 gameplay.

It’s definitely worth a watch if you’re a fan of the original series or have been enjoying the new releases from EA Sports, so check it out and leave your thoughts in the comments below or join in the discussion here in The Virtual Hardwood section of the NLSC Forum.
