Dunk Mania is an arcade video game developed and published by Namco in 1996.

Gameplay

Dunk Mania is a basketball game that features motion-capture in a two-on-two slam-dunk contest.2

Reception

Dunk Mania was only a moderate success in Japan.3 Next Generation stated that "in following the herd, one does begin to wonder whether it's a flashy first effort with deeper games to come, or if it's just a great-looking, cookie cutter basketball coin-op with no real sense of the sport itself underneath all the glitz."2
