NBA Jam TE - Atari Jaguar

Gameplay video of NBA Jam: TE (Tournament Edition) for Atari Jaguar. At the end of the video, I show a few of the hidden secret characters in the game including Will Smith (Fresh Prince), Prince Charles, Bill Clinton, the Phoenix Suns Gorilla mascot, and more. This game supports the Team Tap multi-player adapter to allow up to four players to play simultaneously. This was easily the best sports game released for Jaguar. This version was developed by High Voltage Software, who later went on to develop The Conduit for Wii.

A new version of NBA Jam is available from EA for the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

@michaelandtyson: According to GameFAQs: "At the name-entry screen, place the cursor over the letter ''W'', then hold Start and press Y. Now, move the cursor over to the ''I'', then hold Start and press B. Finally, highlight ''L'' and just press A."

By far the best port of the arcade version. The only problems are the cheesy music, on court sound effects (dunking, passing etc.), crowd not cheering unless basket scored (no "AAAIIIIIRRR BAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL"), and no backboard shattering.

This version still beats the PS1 version though.

Also, was this put up in anticipation of the new NBA Jam game by EA?

[jvgsjeff]

@SonicXisnow2009: Yeah, hearing about the new NBA Jam made me want to go back and play the older one.

the ball can't go out of bounds? 1:16

and you can pass back the ball even AFTER passing the mid-line? 1:25

[jvgsjeff]

@SmartBoy16: Yeah, NBA Jam is definitely not a realistic simulation, it's just arcade-style fun.

I did not know this came out for the Jaguar. I have it for the 32X and that is a pretty translation of the arcade.

[GamingPalooza]

presented in 3D sound... ohhhhhh! yes!

all jokes beside, this looks nicer than the SNES and Genesis

[Retroman2000]

is that a beach ball?

@SonicXisnow2009 the arcade music wasnt really good either. Actually I like the Jags music better but they should of just made it like the arcade's so they could have not had that notch against them whether or not people liked it better or not.

This is really a fantastic console translation of NBA Jam TE. This one and the 32x version are probably the two closest to the arcade with the edge going to the Jaguar version IMO.

@SonicXisnow2009 I dont believe there is any backboard shattering in TE. That was in the original and I dont think was put into TE on any version that I've found.
