Oh, I can feel the NBA Jam on the SNES blood starting to pump once again. :)

Online play? Oh boy I like this. I really hope they nail that classic NBA Street/Jam gameplay though. I pray it doesn't suck.

There has got to be a better name than Playgrounds.

This is what I think of when I think video games and playgrounds

I'm as interested in seeing the playground locations. The last NBA game I played was NBA2K2 and I played it almost entirely in streetball mode. I'm a little worried. That first location in the video evokes NYC architecture, but the court itself looks like an amalgamation of Rucker and the Cage. Hopefully it's just a different location.

Those two are a must, and 16th and Susquehanna in Philadelphia would be a huge bonus. I'm a little hopeful for the latter, because I saw an image online (can't remember if it's in the trailer) of Wilt in his old Philadelphia Warriors uniform. I also recognized what might be Venice Beach, but I've never been to that court. Another image looks like it has the London Eye in the background, which after googling, I suspect is from the Nike Court on the River Thames.

NBA Jam on the PS360 never got a sequel, and it was really good.  Hoping this fills that void.

One of the best things about this announcement is that it's at such a good pricepoint.  If I drop $20 and it ends up being junk, I'll at least have not wasted full retail on a genre of game I'm not necessarily normally enthused out of besides NBA Jam.

This looks subpar. Can we just have a new NBA Jam plz?

I like NBA Jam, but I LOVE NBA Street!
I hope this game is really good.

NBA Jam on the PS3 actually DID get a sequel. It was called NBA Jam: On Fire Edition. It Just didn't get a physical release

On Fire wasn't a sequel, it was an enhanced edition of the the previous game (think of it like a directors cut).
