Acclaim and developer Namo Gamo have announced a new basketball video game featuring the iconic team, The Harlem Globetrotters. The game will be called Super Basketball Classics Featuring the World-Famous Harlem Globetrotters, which, as you might figure, will be a version of Namo Gamo's game Basketball Classics. They didn't show any footage of the game; this is simply a teaser, but our guess is that you'll have a full basketball game featuring the Globetrotters, along with many of their opponents over the years, such as the Washington Generals.
Considering the game is celebrating the team's 100th Anniversary, here's hoping they highlight many of the iconic lineups over the years as team options, or at least players who can be interchanged. Because if we can't play as that 1970s team that played against a team of robots on Gilligan's Island and solved mysteries with Scooby-Doo, then what are we really doing here? That's a missed opportunity if it doesn't happen. Enjoy the trailer and info here as we wait to learn when it will be released for PC and consoles.
