About NBA Jam 99

NBA Jam 99 is a basketball arcade game released for the Nintendo 64 in the late 1990s. It continues the tradition of exaggerated, high-octane gameplay that made the NBA Jam series a hit.

In NBA Jam 99, you select from licensed NBA teams and pair up two players from each squad to compete in quick, action-packed matches. The game simplifies many of basketball's complexities, focusing instead on spectacular dunks, alley-oops, and a relentless pace. You'll be driving to the hoop, pulling off wild jump shots, and attempting to block your opponent's shots.

A signature feature carried over to NBA Jam 99 is the 'On Fire' mechanic. As your players perform well, hitting consecutive shots and making key plays, they enter an 'On Fire' state. This grants them unlimited turbo and increased accuracy, allowing for jaw-dropping plays and the ability to dominate stretches of the game. The game also includes the classic option to toggle big heads for your players, adding a layer of visual humor to the over-the-top action.
