Acclaim's NBA Jam 99, an updated take on the arcade franchise. Licensed players, ever-absurd dunks and snappy two-on-two action. The formula clicks instantly but starts to feel short on novelty. Ideal for quick multiplayer, more predictable solo.

Is NBA Jam 99 still worth playing in 2026?

The 1998-1999 edition of the NBA Jam arcade franchise, this entry reprises Acclaim's snappy, spectacular basketball with an updated roster, impossible dunks and the series' emblematic turbo. The two on two formula, built for immediate fun and duels among friends, keeps its festive effectiveness despite a subpar production and solo content. The pleasure lies in the energy and multiplayer. For a fan of unashamed arcade sport, an NBA Jam nostalgic or a player after stress relief, the title keeps a definite festive appeal.
