The Acclaim published [Basketball Classics](https://store.steampowered.com/app/819630/Basketball_Classics/?curator_clanid=45592194) has been bouncing around on PC for a while, gaining ‘very positive’ reviews on Steam thanks to its old skool sensibilities. While it’s tempting to call it a spiritual successor to **NBA Jam**, it closer resembles the 8-bit era and offers 5-on-5 matches rather than 3-on-3.
A new version has just been announced, not only bounding onto consoles too this time, but also in partnership with the **Harlem Globetrotters,** who are currently celebrating their 100th season.
**Super Basketball Classics Featuring the World-Famous Harlem Globetrotters**, to use its full and elongated name, will feature the Globetrotters’ signature moves, trick shots, and theatrical flair. This includes alley-oops, half-court bombs, and over-the-top dunks.
We can expect Exhibition, Season Mode, and Tournament matches along with couch co-op and competitive play. The soundtrack meanwhile will blend old and modern-style beats.
“This game celebrates that spirit while honoring the classic arcade basketball experiences fans grew up loving while building a whole new generation of fans, for years to come. With tight controls, big personalities and instant pick-up & play action, Super Basketball Classics brings the Harlem Globetrotters legacy to gamers and sports fans around the world,” said Alex Josef, CEO of Acclaim.
_Super Basketball Classics Featuring the World-Famous Harlem Globetrotters_, which, again, is a very long name, is coming to Steam and consoles soon.
