Tecmo Super NBA Basketball Super Nintendo

Tecmo Super NBA Basketball is a basketball video game developed and published by Tecmo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). It was released in 1992.

Tecmo Super NBA Basketball offers a simulation-style basketball experience, featuring teams and players from the National Basketball Association (NBA) during the 1991-1992 season. The game includes all 27 NBA teams from that season, allowing players to choose their favorite team and compete in various game modes.

The gameplay in Tecmo Super NBA Basketball is viewed from a side-scrolling perspective, with players controlling their team in five-on-five matches. The controls are relatively simple, allowing players to pass, shoot, dunk, and perform basic defensive moves.

The game offers different modes of play, including exhibition matches, full seasons, playoffs, and a tournament mode. In the season mode, players can guide their chosen team through an entire NBA season, managing player rotations, trades, and other aspects to lead their team to the championship.

Tecmo Super NBA Basketball features digitized player sprites and detailed graphics for its time, aiming to recreate the appearance of NBA players. However, due to technological limitations, the player sprites may appear somewhat blocky and lacking in detail compared to modern basketball games.

The game includes commentary and play-by-play announcements by sportscaster Marv Albert, which adds to the atmosphere of the matches. It also features various gameplay options, such as adjusting game difficulty, game speed, and other settings to customize the experience.

Tecmo Super NBA Basketball was generally well-received upon its release, praised for its solid gameplay, wide selection of NBA teams, and accurate representation of basketball at the time. It remains a nostalgic choice for fans of classic basketball games on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
