EA Officially Announces ‘NBA Jam’
January 11, 2010 by Ruibo
The rumors of the NBA Jam revival from last week has been confirmed true today with the announcement from EA confirming the development of the most influential basketball game ever made.
NBA Jam will be an exclusive for the Nintendo Wii, and all-new features with a fresh new take on the game that will combine the old school with the new. There are still no details yet but do expect new modes, Wii visuals, characters and what EA PR is calling “gameplay depth.”
“NBA JAM is one of the most recognizable franchises in videogame history,” said Peter Moore, President, EA SPORTS. “Diehard fans of the original game have been asking for a remake for more than a decade. We’re very excited to give them their wish this year with the return of this iconic franchise.”
No price has been mentioned but we do expect the game to be released later this year. More information can be found on the official site including your chance to vote on the draft.

Yes I can’t wait for this game to come out!
Attention EA:
You best be getting Marv Albert (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marv_Albert) for your voiceover, or I will not be playing it.
No.
Tim Kitzrow or nobody.
I was kinda hoping it would just be a re-release of the original with an updated roster.
Wii only…wut the bs is that. I doubt grandma’s and house wives are going to care for NBA Jam. Come on, release this puppy for 360 and rake in the dough.
Who wants to bet that EA screws up royally – Jam being relegated to the likes of a water-downed NBA Street?
I can see it now… tons of “features/modes” that nobody will ever use, an excess focus on graphics vs. general playability (see fun), and a complete departure from this once great franchise.
EA’s new NBA Jam will be similar in name, but name alone.
I knew Tom Gugliotta would return..!

Why in the hell would they make this a Wii exclusive? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. What are they thinking?
Wii exclusive is totally lame.
All I want is an updated roster for modern day. Make it a DL on Xbox live or something. I want a Pierce/Garnet v Lebron/Shaq
BASE LINE LEANER!
