Featuring the iconic NBA Jam™ gameplay that has captured
the hearts of basketball fans for decades, this 30th anniversary
machine combines classic gaming with modern features. Jam-packed
with three fan-favorite games - NBA Jam™, NBA Jam™ Tournament
Edition, and NBA Jam™ Hang Time - and with built-in Wi-Fi, fans can
compete against up to four players online and show off their skills
via global leaderboards.
"We are thrilled to be able to announce the return of this
iconic game at the first NBA Con," said Scott Bachrach, CEO of Arcade1Up. "Arcade1Up was
the first to deliver an at-home NBA Jam™ arcade
experience more than three years ago – and it was our first-ever
machine to include Wi-Fi. We've come a long way since that original
release and are excited to celebrate the 30th anniversary of a true
classic."
The NBA Jam™ 30th Anniversary Deluxe arcade machine is a
sleek, 5-foot-tall stand-up cabinet with a crisp 17-inch color
screen, dual speakers for dynamic sound, and a four-player control
panel. Authentic design features include a light-up marquee and 3D
molded coin doors, along with upgraded joysticks and eye-catching
light-up buttons that make every basket even more
electrifying.
The NBA Jam™ Partycade, available at select Costco
stores this fall, comes fully assembled out of the box, and can be
hung on a door, mounted on a wall, or played on a tabletop with the
included leg attachments. Featuring the same size color LCD
displays and controls as full size Arcade1Up arcade machines,
Partycades are designed to be easily installed (and moved!) in any
home, apartment, dorm, and more. Fans can sign up to receive
notifications beginning today.
Additional NBA Jam™ arcades from Arcade1Up that are
currently available for purchase – and will also be on display at
NBA Con – include NBA Jam™: SHAQ Edition and NBA Jam™ 2-Player
Countercade.
