[N00BterminatorX]

whoa.....that flag is the size of the stadium 0.0

[cbrhawk1]

I wish it would have said "YOU'RE WINNER" at the end.

[MandTplaythroughs]

Just a small thing. it is not nintendo nes. cause think wouldn't that be redundant? because the *n* in nes stands for nintendo. so really you are saying "nintendo nintendo entertainment system"

[MIBsecretagent]

i picked this game up at a flea market for 2.00

[Douken]

L.A. Brakers hahahahaha

[Galimah]

I had much fun with this when younger

[metalax]

Double Dribble for NES is actually a localization of a Japanese game called Exciting Basket that Konami made for the FamiCom Disk System. It was not originally a conversion of the arcade game. Some changes were made to Exciting Basket to make it a bit more similar to the arcade game Double Dribble, such as the slam dunk close-ups being added. I always used to wonder why this game was called Double Dribble when you could never cause that foul in the NES version.

[micfiends]

i agree with the cut scene players being grey becuase of the jersey colours, but i also lke to believe that they are grey caused its supposed to be like a slow mow epic moment where your player is immortalized in silver :)

[thenintendogamer]

The stadium the ants er.. People are entering in the intro is the fucking Astrodome. WHY is Houston not a playable team??

[MajCinematic]

HA! I use to have this game! Thanx for posting! I get so nostalgic watching it.

[9mbo]

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

[ppullz]

LMAO RUBBLE RIBBLE

[landrykkb]

Double Dribble actually wasn't bad for its time.

[bgasman]

He said "free throw." this a great 80's basketball game and looks good!

[II4037man]

he said "Free Throw"

[SamuraiClinton]

I think this game was AWESOME!

[AvEryBadApPLe]

gotta love that frog!

[luvdady]

[SRM30]

i can't believe i used to play this, funny.

[drjuancarlosvega2]

He said "free throw".

[izlude2]

my double dribble cart doesn't talk :(

but my blades of stele talks :)

[jpsplat]

OMG this game was awesome... shit, it's still awesome. I used to play it a lot in 2002. Does anybody here have the genesis version?

[ShinmaRyuu]

I remember in one of the early NBA Live games hot spots you could stand at the bottom by the half court line and always make the shot for 3.

[christo930]

This is a BLATANT ripoff of super basketball, a great 80's basketball game that wasn't ported to any home system that I know of. I play it on MAME. I think it's by Kanomi.

[dommiesan]

It is made by Konami, as was Double Dribble. It's not a ripp-off if you made both games. Usually, it's called a sequel.

[christo930]

Was it an official sequel? Which one was first? I remember when I was a kid being pissed because super basketball and mat mania weren't available for home systems (Mat Mania was available for 7800, but I didn't have a 7800).

[Teamsleeper]

i don't care what anyone says... this game was fucking awesome back in my elementary school days

[zerkzy842]

look at this then look at Nba Live 10 or 2K10. all i gotta say is tecnology is a wonderful thing!!

[pickzkickz]

its probably a plaque aka mvp or something. only game i never lost in. boston and player2! 3's from top corner automatic and unblock-able. plus averaged about 80 steals a game. lol

[Lynxvi]

i enjoyed the "3RT PERIOD START" at 5:22 lol. never noticed that 16 years ago when i played this relentlessly as a kid.

[persaudharriram]

wow i had this game

[MrPlaystation3freak]

he said free throw not pushing

[BigPapiPhx]

umm u you can "bank" 3 point shots out of the corner and score almost every time...you kinda suck

[ReservationAtDorsia9]

LOL i used to do that all the time. it actually seemed like it banked off of the back of the backboard and went in.

[DTDB1225]

narrator sounds like matt groening a little bit

[bosswitdasauce]

How come everytime you would get charged with traveling, it would be like "ismell"? lololololol

[djmilkshake83]

Classic 1:54!!!!

[brothermopsy]

PRUMFALL!

[brothermopsy]

I could rule ANYONE in this game!

[cnsparrot]

Classic ............

[DJCandyManMike]

By the way, the CPU wasn't just playing Boston "this time" - it always uses Boston. I'm like Donnie, though - Chicago is my team of choice! And proximity to the basket is supposed to have control over the kind of dunk you get. Being on the basket, for instance, executes the back dunk, which was by far and away my favorite dunk to watch.

[machine134]

I think that he suppose to be holding up a bronze trophy. Level two it is silver and level three it is gold.

[davym04]

500 points through WII which equals $5

[UNCAnjel]

This game was the shit back in the day! Classic!

[ironman36]

Babble Bibble......pimp ball....beep!!

[saigokun]

Excellent review.

[Hiryu7777]

3:19 - I think it said "Rough Fowl" or something... sounds a lot closer to Roosevelt though.

5:23 - It looks like it says "3rt period start"

BTW, I like the intro music.

[dommiesan]

It does say "3rt period start." I knew about that error, but missed it in the NES review. I though it was only in the arcade version. Good eyes.

[xsdsdds1]

nice review

[Hitrat]

I like your reviews, Dommie but no Mega Man or Zelda reviews?

[dommiesan]

In due time. Both series' are pretty complex games and take a lot of planning to squeeze into a 10 minute review. But they are in the works.

[jahguy7]

I enjoyed the mascots at half time. Also -- those people are real close to the court. I guess they didn't have very good seating back in the day, eh.

[theadamsfamily001]

cool first view and comment!
