Yesterday, Electronic Arts confirmed the January 4th ESPN report that stated the company will, indeed, be reviving the classic NBA Jam franchise exclusively for the Nintendo Wii. EA posted on the NBA Jam Official Website, “featuring gameplay that is true to the original, NBA JAM will have players spinning with ankle breaking moves to the basket and on the way to high-flying, backboard-smashing dunks. In addition to the classic experience, EA SPORTS NBA JAM will also introduce new game modes, characters and gameplay depth.”
EA Canada in Vancouver, BC will be developing the game, which is slated for sometime later this year.
