Space Jam – the cult Looney-Tunes-meets-live-action basketball movie from the 90s – is getting the retro-style video game beat-’em-up treatment for Xbox, PC, and mobile to promote upcoming movie sequel, Space Jam: A New Legacy, and it’ll be accompanied by a range of new Space-Jam-themed Xbox controllers.
According to a new post on Xbox Wire, Space Jam: A New Legacy – The Game, developed by Digital Eclipse, was inspired by a number of fan-submitted idea picked as part of a competition held late last year. That ultimately led to the creation of a 90s-inspired arcade beat-’em-up in which Bugs Bunny, Lola Bunny, and LeBron James engage in some basketball-imbued brawling to defeat a virtual army controlled by a nefarious AI.
“Fortunately,” explains Microsoft, “our heroes have access to a variety of moves, including a special basketball, and some rather unique Space Jam cards, to help them out.”
