Thanks to Acclaim for making this dream a reality. We can\u2019t wait to follow this up with <em>Super Basketball Classics<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here is an overview of the game, via Acclaim:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Five-on-five professional basketball born from the golden era of sports games. This spiritual successor to the 8-bit ballers bridges the gap between retro and today\u2019s simulation games.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Side-scrolling, sweaty arcade action.<\/li>\n<li>Simplified three-button gameplay.<\/li>\n<li>Decades of rosters with over 175 teams.<\/li>\n<li>Over 1,000 players with individualized attributes.<\/li>\n<li>Seamless play calling.<\/li>\n<li>Sensational cut scenes.<\/li>\n<li>One-player Story Mode unlocks secret teams.<\/li>\n<li>Scream-inducing local multiplayer.<\/li>\n<li>Retro vibes galore.<\/li>\n<li>No virtual currency. No pay-to-win. No micro transactions. Ever.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- AD: content --><\/p>\n<p>Side-scrolling, arcade action is paired with on-the-fly strategy. Three-button gameplay is easy to pick up, but it is the dynamic play-calling that elevates this title beyond just long bombs and acrobatics.<\/p>\n<p>Attribute-rich players make up a vast set of rosters. Dig through decades of teams to find your favorite All-Stars and even unlock the \u201cLegends\u201d in an immersive story mode.<\/p>\n<p>This game is a passion project for us indie developers here at Namo Gamo. We hope you can feel the love put into every pixel, the endless adjustments to stat-driven gameplay, and the genuinely retro sound and music.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Watch a new trailer below.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consoles_Launch_Trailer\"><\/span><span>Consoles Launch Trailer<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Basketball Classics - Console Launch Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fm0ql9mGOGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
