where are nba street and ssx,EA?

A Cupcake for Gabe5215d ago

NBA Jam!? The return of Beastie Boys and Bill Clinton? They should have 50+ characters, and DLC. This is my favorite Arcade B-Ball game other than NBA on NBC Showtime.

Enigma_20995215d ago

... I would have been more excited to hear the return of SSX, like you said...

Yi-Long5215d ago

...instead of NBA Jam, I would much rather see NBA Street.

NBA Street V3 was one of the best sports games ever, and it's such a shame it never REALLy got a worthy HD sequel.

SSX3 was also amazing, SSX on Tour a huge let-down, but I'd love a new SSX as well. :)

And while we're on the subject of games we'd rather see make a triumphant return in HD, what about a proper sequel to Def Jam FFNY, one of the best fighters of last gen!?

Mini Mario5215d ago (Edited 5215d ago )

Sweet i love NBA Jam. Im liking all these arcade and old school games coming back. Never really got into the whole realism of the newer sports games.

I prefer a arcade style game, just drop the coin and play!

Bnet3435215d ago

NBA Street Homecourt came out on the 360 and PS3 ...

Trebius5215d ago

I hope the 360 can handle the game though...

The dunking and the fire and all the crowds and the camera flashes....i dont know if the 360 would be able to do it all...

We'll see though :)

bacon135214d ago

YES! I missed NBA Jam. Over the top dunks FTW. HE'S HEATING UP!

Enigma_20995214d ago

... Sorry fellas... I had more fun cranking up the arcade mode in NBA Live. So take it like a man and accept it... SSX will ALWAYS be a better game than NBA Jam... because it's not hard to outdo a game like that.

NBA Jam was a midway game. Could be wrong though

Elven65215d ago

Both Midway and Acclaim used to publish NBA Jam titles, I guess EA must have bought them recently?

Montrealien5215d ago (Edited 5215d ago )

Midway is bankrupt, with many of its properties being sold namely NBA Jam. Acclaim was known for publishing Midway arcade ports way back in the day, Midway was not making console games in those days.

MK_Red5214d ago

Didn't Warner Bros buy most of Midway's properties including NBA Jam? Anyway, the series was beyond awesome and was easily among the best arcade games of its time along with MK2-3.

Elven65214d ago

None of the licensed NBA, NFL, etc stuff was bought by Warner since they basically had to jump through hoops with organizations like the NBA to be able to use them again.

nba jam was one of the only sport games i played. "hes on fire" ahhh good times, good stuff.

Kevin263855215d ago

One of the classics..Unfortunately the rumor is that its only for the Wii!

n4f5215d ago

i hope they dont ruin it(not because its on wii)

games4fun5215d ago

i was going to post the same thing, it was the only basketball game i played on the genesis

Baka-akaB5215d ago

Meh , nba street was a great and perfect evolution of the arcade basket concept ... while past nba jam have been mediocre and a a gimmick .

Unless it's nba street in disguise and with a more popular license

Dead Space Isaac Clarke: Every Cameo in Other Games

Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?

jznrpg836d ago (Edited 836d ago )

I really enjoyed Commando as a kid and it’s not listed . I bet it’s cheap maybe? Beat all 99 levels just to find out you start all over again .

djl3485835d ago

You must be talking about Captain Commando and no it's not cheap...going for about $130.

Jiub836d ago

I'm surprised Illusion of Gaia doesn't cost more

Knightofelemia836d ago (Edited 836d ago )

Any retro console is still worth buying in 2022 whether a Genesis, NES, SMS, TG16. Some systems command a higher price then others but a SNES is still reasonably priced and worth grabbing you can mod the NA SNES to play Japanese games throw in an Everdrive and you're set. I feel sorry for some of the consoles I see on Ebay that have holes in them, yellowed to death, modified with shitty mods that barely work. The SNES might need a little work great way to learn if yellowed just use peroxide and UV light and it will turn white again. If you have a hobby of repairing older consoles that are listed as untested broken for parts some of the repairs are basic you can save money that way when buying a retro console. I just bought a $20 NES listed as broken on Ebay disable the lock out chip and new 72pin connector and it works.

Jiub835d ago

I imagine restoration work on retro consoles is going to become much more important as the years wear on. Sure, hundreds of thousands of certain consoles were made, but fewer exist every year.

Knightofelemia834d ago (Edited 834d ago )

Depends on the console a SNES for sure needs retrobrite the plastic grows brittle and literally falls apart same with the NES. A White Dreamcast also needs retrobrite if I remember right the TG16 needs new capacitors it suffers the same issue as the Game Gear. Most of the old handhelds need new screens since they fail with age my Game Gear had new capacitors put in and a McWill mod done to it. The NES needs the lock out chip disabled when the power light turns on and off maybe throw in a new 72pin as well. Sega Master System has an issue blowing out the 7805 voltage regulator. OG Xbox depending on the board revision needs a clock capacitor removed or it leaks and fries the board. N64 controller needs a new thumbstick Sega Genesis model 2 suffers from the solder around the power supply is prone to cracking hence the system will not power up. Sega CD model 1 the laser dies fast model 2 the rubber feet supporting the drive fail and the model is know to throw the pico fuse so it dies fast as well.

It also depends how you treat the system also I baby my shit. I don't throw it around like a football the systems I see that might need the most help going through the years are the ones that use lasers and discs. I know some systems have problems due to how they were built as well like again certain board revisions of an OG Xbox and the Game Gear. I have bought broken systems and picked them for parts. I actually enjoy fixing older systems it's relaxing and a great way to teach yourself new skills.

Turning 64 this year.....my days playing video games are Now over.... time to move on to Jesus Christ .....I wish all of you Happy New Year . Game on Dudes!!!
It was fun while it lasted.

15 Sega Genesis Games that Hold Up Today

The Sega Genesis is a tad underappreciated. This site has already posted about how this console was great for the RPG genre despite the SNES getting more glory. However, that was not the only genre that flourished on the Genesis/Mega Drive.

Shining Force is on my long list of game series should be revived. Same with console Phantasy Star

Fonsecap860d ago

Shining Force 1, 2 and 3 were awesome, the third one can only be played with emulation along with the translation project because of Episode 2 and 3 that were only released in JP. But I agree, I don't know why SEGA don't revive this franchise, tactics games are very well accepted these days.

Jiub860d ago

I didn't know that about the third one. After the success of the last Fire Emblem, I can't imagine why we don't get more tactics RPGs out there. I'd even take a tactics ogre at this point

gold_drake859d ago

YES
i love shining force. i need a bundle with all the games in it.

but the mobile game is coming soon anyways :)

Petebloodyonion860d ago

I'm sorry but I feel the list has been made by a person checking his own backlog catalog.
Mortal Kombat 2? missing half of the sounds and animation from the arcade.
And can we say Super dark soul difficulty when we say Earthworm Jim 2

Here's my pick for still holding up and fun

- Shinobi Shadow Dancer, not too tough nor too easy with a good arcade challenge 1 hour long to complete.
- Gunstar Heroes
- Nhl 94
- Thunder Force 3

Shuckylad859d ago

The 16 bit era in general has aged better than any pre hd generation imo.

Fist4achin859d ago

Great lost with lots of memories. A reboot of the Shadowrun game and Shining Force would keep me entertained and busy for a long time.

gold_drake859d ago

-Soleil
-Sonic 2, 3 and knuckles, pinball
-that one x-men game i always forget its name
-that one fighting game that has different characters (a fishmen, an assassin lady, a private detective from the 70s etc)
-shining force 2
-dynamite heady (probably the best looking genesis game, imo)
-wonderboy in monster world

those are the ones that come to mind ha.

Yui_Suzumiya859d ago

Sega CD version is so much better though.. I had both versions back in the 90's

gold_drake858d ago

oh yeh, thats the name. i always forget it haha.
