NBA Jam announcer Tim Kitzrow (and Fox) just discovered as hidden players in Saturn version of NBA Jam: TE after 28 years

To play as these two, make sure you enter these names and birthdates at the name entry screen while holding L or R.

Kizrow: KIT – June 8th
Fox: FOX – August 3rd

So far, Malenko couldn’t find any sign of these two being in any other version of the game, having checked every other port besides the Atari Jaguar version. It’s not yet known why only the Saturn versions contain these two. It’s certainly not even known who the heck Fox is. Perhaps ...

I've never finished Grandia and most non-Mega Drive RPGs either.
They are really time consuming.
When I was still in college I kinda love them since I have so much free time, sadly that's not the case anymore.

True... but it is hard finding a JRPG I like. Especially as a Playstation1-era Final Fantasy fan.

While I love Final Fantasy VIII, I couldn't stand the original Final Fantasy VII's chibi-like polygonal graphic.
The characters do look like Roblox characters.

Yeah, but it's forgivable given the limitations they had back then. I mean, sure VIII and IX had better models and were also PS1 games, but Squaresoft likely didn't know they could make models like that at the time.

Plus, I prefer FF7-quality models over actual Roblox avatars any day.

You couldn't costumize FF7 character models though. Roblox avatars were made simpler in purpose.
