Arcade1up Introduces Their NBA Jam Arcade Cabinet, Featuring Free Online Multiplayer - Charles Barkley is IN

Arcade1up, a company specializing in retro arcade cabinets, has revealed quite a few new cabinets at CES 2020. One that definitely caught our eye was the NBA Jam cabinet, which features not only the original NBA Jam, but also includes NBA Jam Tournament Edition and NBA Hang Time.

John Diamonon, senior vice president of licensing and business development at Arcade1UP, confirmed the games will feature online multiplayer support, free of charge.

The original rosters will be included, for the most part. Unfortunately, they were unable to get rights to some of the players.

Minus some players we couldn’t get rights to.

No word on pre-order information for the cabinet, but keep an eye on the official website.

UPDATE: (1-9-20) For those asking, Charles Barkley is on the NBA Jam roster. Here’s a video showing off the full rosters for NBA Jam and NBA Hang Time, courtesy of COOLTOY. He also includes some of the menu settings and options you can change.
