The game is available on Xbox Live Arcade today with a PlayStation Network release to follow.
Tecmo announced yesterday that in a partnership with A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. Games, they would be publishing their arcade-style basketball game, NBA Unrivaled, for both Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network.
The title features all 30 NBA teams along with their top players from the latest 2009-2010 Roster. Players will be able to take to the court for an arcade 5-on-5 match.
Both co-operative and versus multiplayer exists in addition to single-player versus the computer modes. Similar to past arcade-style titles like NBA Jam, the game will have a momentum meter that will fill as they perform well in the game. Eventually that meter will max out unleashing Momentum Mania, allowing players to perform bigger and better offensive and defensive moves.
Finally, players will be able to unlock classic jerseys of their favorite teams as they play the game more and more.
NBA Unrivaled is available now on Xbox Live Arcade and will be coming soon to PlayStation Network.
