NBA Jam has come back? NBA Jam has come back. Oh, lawdy, tech gods, you’ve been good to me this year, treating me far more kindly than you would ordinarily.
For those of you who grew up in the 90’s, you probably remember NBA Jam as the first of it’s kind – a massively entertaining arcade game where you could kiss the rafters with your face and break backboards after setting the arena on fire and playing as politicians. Basically, every impulse videogame coders had at the time was included in NBA Jam – Bill Clinton, representatives from Parliament Funkadelic, but never Michael Jordan.
In a move that defies assignment in any typical argot, NBA Jam is coming back to the Wii. Holy fluffmuffins. This promises to tickle every bone in my nerd body until the only sounds I can make are, “FROM OUTSIDE!!” and, “HE’S ON FIRE!!” until my roommate will mercifully punch me in the gullet.
The new adaptation of NBA Jam will include an entire playable squad of The Beastie Boys, President Obama, George W. Bush, John McCain, and Sarah Palin.
Really, what else do you need to know? That’s pretty much an entire selling point right there. I would barter my firstborn to be able to play drunk basketball with Sarah Palin. And now I can still trade him away, because he’s unloved – but I wouldn’t HAVE to.
