A sports game huh?
Not quite.
If you've ever been to an arcade in the early 90's, or owned a video game system during that era, you'll have at least some idea of NBA Jam. It's really not a sports game (per se), but a real fun arcade game. Getting four friends together and going head to head, 2v2 is an experience I recommend for anyone.
So naturally, when I began Japanese studies, I had to get this game. It was an early staple almost as much as Super Mario 64 had been...Maybe not that extreme, but you understand where I'm going with this. I love NBA Jam.
Unfortunately, I got Sonic R'd here (refer to previous post) and it was a direct copy and paste of the English version. Exact same.
So now I'm here to let you know of my experiences.
If you're building a Japanese Saturn collection, there are other games to get with much more Japanese in them (Unless it's Sonic R or Nights Into Dreams). The Japanese versions of the Jam series are usually more expensive than the American ones on eBay as well. Don't even get me started on the Sega Mega CD version...
Unless you have a burning desire to get NBA Jam for your Japanese Saturn, or genuinely enjoy this series of games, your money is better spent on things that will help you with your studies.
