Tecmo Super NBA Basketball is a basketball video game published by Tecmo for the Super NES. It also came out a year later (with updated rosters) for the Sega Genesis. It was released in the United States in March 1993. The teams consist of NBA teams from 1992. Players can choose from exhibition games, the 1992 all-star game, or the 1993 season. In playing the season, players can choose which teams they want to control, for example, a player can choose to play as two teams, and will play every game those two teams play.

The game has been considered similar in formula to a more simulation styled NBA Jam, as the camera view is similar and amazing shots can be made regularly, from nearly anywhere on court.

Trivia: It's the only game of it's time to include Michael Jordan due to the fact that Jordan was not a part of the players association (so he could cash in on companies using his image) but Tecmo didn't get word and included him in early versions.

Miami Heat's guard Jon Sundvold, who retired in 1992 suffering from an injury, is the game's best 3-pt shooter. He was 1 for 1 in 3pt Field goals before retiring and has a high shooting range bar (60% or so) from being a career sharp shooter. In this game, if Jon gets across half court he can sink just about any 3 point shot with amazing levels of success.

Traditional shooters Like Larry Bird can also shoot the lights out.
