Get A Feel For Arcade1Up's NBA Jam Deluxe Machine In Amazon's Gaming Showcase

Summary

• Arcade1Up has released an NBA Jam Deluxe arcade machine that features the original three games in the NBA Jam series.
• The cabinet, along with other popular options from Arcade1Up, can be found in Amazon's Gaming Zone 3D Showcase.
• The Showcase is a virtual video game store that includes games, consoles, and more alongside Arcade1Up's products.

Physical games are enduring far longer than their movie and music counterparts, but the physical locations you can buy them from don't appear to be following suit. In-store video game options continue to become more scarce as people turn to buying almost everything online. However, Amazon has come up with a middle ground for those who still want that in-store feel when buying their games. The Gaming Zone 3D Showcase, and Arcade1Up, along with its new NBA Jam Deluxe arcade cabinet is a part of it.

Amazon's Gaming Zone is a virtual shopping experience that lets you walk around a retro video game store, perusing new releases and, in the case of the Arcade1Up items you'll find in there, gives you an insight into how the products will look in your home. Step into the Gaming Zone and use your cursor to either turnaround, there's stuff all around you, or click the white dots to move towards a certain part of the store. Clicking a white dot in front of a particular item will give you the option to visit its store page.

Arcade1Up And TaskRabbit Team Up To Help Take The Stress Out Of Cabinet Building

You can now hire someone to build your arcade cabinets for you, and get a discount on that service for a limited time.

In the store, you'll find games, consoles, and Arcade1Up products. Turn left once you're in and you'll see the new NBA Jam Deluxe machine, right there next to the virtual exit. More than a decade on from the last release in the NBA Jam series, and over 20 years since original developer Midway's last installment, Arcade1Up's new cabinet revives the original three games in the series - NBA Jam, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, and NBA Jam Hangtime - and lets you play them as Midway originally intended.

Take A Virtual Stroll Around Amazon's Gaming Showcase

Like most Arcade1Up machines, the games you can play on the NBA Jam Deluxe cabinet are only part of its appeal. While the aim is for the cabinet to look and feel like the ones you played NBA Jam on in the 1990s, it has a lighter and sleeker design since some assembly is required and it will be a feature in your home rather than an arcade. Its 17-inch screen means you will be seeing the games in a higher quality than ever before, and Wi-Fi capabilities allow you to check out online leaderboards as you register your own high scores.

Arcade1Up NBA Jam Deluxe Arcade Machine

Arcade1Up's NBA Jam Deluxe machine combines the basketball series' original three games - NBA Jam, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, and NBA Jam Hangtime - into one cabinet. The machine is five feet tall, has two panels for multiplayer play, and is W-Fi enabled for sharing scores on its leaderboards.

Take a stroll around the Gaming Zone and you'll also find The Infinity Game Table with some beanbag chairs around it, and three more Arcade1Up cabinets tucked away in a corner. Three of them with a lot for Pac-Man fans to sink their teeth into. Arcade1Up has a lot more than just the five machines on show in the Gaming Zone to choose from, of course. Among its many other options is an X-Men cabinet featuring eight games starring Marvel's mutants that was released to coincide with the success of X-Men '97's first season.
