NBA Courtside 2 is a total classic for any basketball fan who grew up with the N64! The graphics were mind-blowing for the time, and gameplay is surprisingly solid compared to other games of its era. You've got tons of options, a full season mode, and Kobe Bryant himself on the cover! Of course, it lacks some of the depth of modern basketball simulators, and the rosters are hilariously outdated. But for sheer retro nostalgia and surprisingly engaging gameplay, it's a slam dunk.
