This could be a good marketing line back in the 90s
" Nikes run on everything - grass, gravel, GBC"

[@gligarguy4010]

After McDonalds made that new GBC game, im not surpised by brands anymore.

[@mechashadow]

I mean I figured that it was by the same devs and unsurprisingly..

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

Maybe a new Pepsiman game? You could have it be a 2D endless runner and still collect Pepsi cans.

After just dance 2020 was released on the Wii, I don’t know what to expect

[@Zoroark_Master]

Xenoblade 4 on the NES?

[@coolguy4-ls2gl]

@@Zoroark_Master Maybe more like splatoon 4 on the snes

[@Medachod]

I was more impressed with Shakedown: Hawaii coming out on Wii in 2020. A physical release of a very solid 2D GTA inspiration. Arguably one of the best 2D games on the platform.

Nike: Make a GBC game to promote our shoes.
Programmer: GBC? But it's 2024!
Nike: Just do it!

^underrated

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

Oh, just like the Grimace game. Good times. This brings me back to a bygone era. I think it's neat that companies have started making games like this.

[@pattongilbert]

Crunchyroll made one recently too!

[@knuclear200x]

Reminds me of back when there would be various full games based on or tied with actual products, for sale even. 7up, Cheetos, Burger King. I kinda miss it.

[@1JAM229]

Cool Spot was a pretty good game. 😎

[@spencerklein5520]

First Mcdonalds now this

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

It'd be cool to see a moon level at the end where you jump twice as high. Maybe a basketball mini game between levels too!

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

NIKE?!

[@krakentoast]

I really want tolgive this game a try on my original gameboy

[@tjrhodes85]

Those one eyed insect enemies look like Gohma's or Tektite's.

[@JackKiyTheGamerGuy]

were can i get the rom

[@jamessnedeker4799]

This seems very much in the vein of Commander Keen or MS-DOS Duke Nukem.

[@mrsmith1938]

This reminds of a Michael Jordan platformer on the Snes

[@mderooij7851]

Imagine This On A Actual GBC

[@brass_fox]

With a flashcart, yes, but the ROM needs to be dumped first.

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

The webpage's script called a webassembly file called "binjgb" which is a feature-rich GB emulator. The script also called a .gb file. Yeah, this thing is a legit ROM. If you have the means, you can totally play it on a GBC.

[@toniosoflyy]

Amazing Marketing from Jordan Brand

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

It is a legit Game Boy game. I managed to find the game file and pull up an emulator to play it.

[@stefancohen5128]

where'd ya find it

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

@@stefancohen5128 I know nothing about web stuff, but if you hit F12 on the desktop browser and dig around the scripts and files it's supposed to call, there's a .gb file (the game file itself) and a .wasm file ("binjgb" GBC emulator run on browser) called by a .js file (Javascript for interactive content)

[@krakentoast]

What the heck lmao

[@donaldthescotishtwin]

Based

[@MacUser2-il2cx]

These developers remind me a lot of Mega Cat Studios! Neat.

[@DR.DisInfect]

How tf do you not know about Jordan's unless you play for the other team everyone knows J

[@Thatguyyoudontknow594]

This game is ass the enemies dont even try to hurt you💀😭

[@gluttonousmaximus9048]

The big challenge is the knockback though

[@JonnyDenny1815]

Lame 😒 name, I mean sounds kinda silly name of a Game.
For shoes..

[@josh_on_gosh]
