NBA Hangtime
Nintendo 64 version
Extremely Bare Bones
The Good
Accurate to the arcade, can be fun in very short bursts
The Bad
Almost nothing to the game, grows tiresome quickly.
The Bottom Line
The Nintendo 64’s first basketball is a straight up arcade conversion, which means there’s nothing to the game except matches and very few options. It’s a 2-on-2 basketball game where scoring is so east that most games will be back and forth of constant scoring from both teams.
With four players, you might find a bit of fun, but this is the kind of game best suited left in the arcades, as it’s something that can be fun for a quick go, but playing for more than a few minutes quickly wears thin. For an arcade game, it’s fine. For a console game, it’s pretty terrible. I know that some people love this game, but it really needed a lot more to it.
