Tecmo dunking NBA Unrivaled onto XBLA Nov. 11, PSN later
Tecmo's trying to fill the arcade-basketball-shaped hole in your heart left by NBA Street with NBA Unrivaled, a retro hoops release from developer A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Games. Though the cleverly-named company is relatively new on the scene, it has experience to draw on after helping Sony build NBA '08: The Life.
We're happy to see some fun-loving 5-on-5 take the court, but we're a little nervous about how quickly the game's sneaked up on us: It's arriving this Wednesday on XBLA, and later on PSN, barely enough time to get our sneakers laced up.

He's unrivaled?

Im trying to be cautiously optimistic about this, but it will probably not fill the NBA JAM sized hole in my heart.

what if it had a big-headed Bill Clinton going up against a big-headed Raiden?

Looks like he has a claw for a hand!

The only place I could find screenshots was on their Facebook page.

+1. Thanks for those. The game doesn't look too bad at all.

It does resemble NBA Jam... this could be very interesting.

Finally a quality game to break the boredom of the holiday season. The drought is over people...

Wow, looks like I judged this game too soon. From the screen shots it actually looks awesome. Mmmmm this foot actually tastes quite good, who'da thought..

It's 5 on 5. Part of what made NBA Jam so much fun was 2 on 2 at the arcade. Good memories of my college years. I couldn't play Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, but I did all right on NBA Jam.

Chance of this being as good as Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden = 0.

So is this Tecmo Ball?
NevilleThegame @ Nov 9th 2009 5:14PM
i hope there is a demo, custom sountracks, off/online multiplayer, NBA Jam/Hangame feel but a better balance, create a player and a cheap price like $7- $9.99 . also what ur thoughts on Madden Arcade?

Justh from looking ath that shcreen I can already tell this game is abSOlutely fabulous!
Love the subtitle, it's so stylish and she sparkles, girfriend!

Have any of you girls really seen this game? Its better looking than Jams, better controls than street, better gameplay than ballers, and has better fouls than arch-rivals, AND better priced than Live 2010 or 2k10. TOO FUN!!! Step up if you're Unrivaled!
