NBA Bounce: A New Arcade Basketball Game

Postby LuxerWap on Fri Aug 01, 2025 12:31 am

So, I didn't even know this game exist as I was announced 2 months ago, and I'm a little surprised no one else had covered about it. NBA Bounce is a new 3-on-3 Arcade style basketball game from Outright Games. It is made for children as it's a lot more pick up and play game with characters you can customize and NBA Mascots that you can play as. Says the game will feature:

- Exciting practice and party modes
- Custom MVP looks and unlockable gear
- Official NBA Mascots
- Hype commentators calling clutch plays

A bit more gameplay was shown during the Nintendo Direct today with a Shot Meter that really reminds me of NBA Live Mobile's shot meter. Overall, the game looks interesting, even though the appeal is aimed at mostly children. But it really caught my interest as it seems like it could be a fun game to play; maybe more than what NBA Playgrounds had to offer.

I'll admit I haven't been paying close attention to it because I'm definitely not the audience for it, but I'm all for basketball games that are designed for and far more accessible to much younger gamers, so it's nice to see.

I'll give it a try. The more arcade style basketball games there are in the market, the better for me. If adults can get down with Hello Kitty Island Adventure, then I can get down with NBA Bounce lol

For sure, no judgement on my part! I won't rule out checking it out, but I'll admit that my interest is fairly low at this point.
