NBA Street V3

Game Overview

NBA Street V3 is an arcade sports game developed by EA Canada and published under the EA Sports BIG label. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of EA Sports BIG’s street style, this entry refined the franchise's signature 3-on-3 gameplay with tighter mechanics, deeper customization, and unprecedented trick flexibility.

The core gameplay centers on the Trickstick, which utilizes the right analog stick to perform an array of mid-air dunks, evasive crossovers, and creative trick passes. Players fill their Trick Meter to trigger the devastating Gamebreaker mode, which now permits interactive, multi-player cooperative dunks and alley-oops for massive point steals. Beyond standard street matches, NBA Street V3 introduced a full-fledged Slam Dunk Contest mode complete with customizable prop launches, wall-flips, and mid-air trick combinations scored by a panel of judges.

On the Nintendo GameCube, NBA Street V3 features liquid-smooth 60fps performance, responsive analog controls, and an exclusive guest appearance by Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach as playable characters, alongside a hard-hitting hip-hop soundtrack curated by DJ Green Lantern.
