Arcade cabinet manufacturer Arcade1Up has told ESPN that it is partnering with Shaquille O'Neal to release NBA JAM: SHAQ EDITION. The new game will be a super-sized version of the company's existing NBA Jam arcade machine, released in 2020, with artwork of Shaq on the cabinet.
The announcement will be made Friday evening at Shaq's Fun House, a concert experience in Los Angeles, Calif., during Super Bowl weekend. As part of the announcement, O'Neal, who won NBA Championships with the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat, will play NBA Jam on a custom machine that Arcade1Up is describing as "the single largest arcade machine in history" against Grammy-award winning musician and DJ, Diplo.
