NBA Jam for Wii

[shukudai]

That's plain old retarded lol. I liked NBA Jam way back when as much as the rest of you, but i'm not buying a game i'll never play just to get Jam >_>

Doesn't EA make NBA Elite? I'm wondering how they managed to con this company into possibly restricting their sales for NBA Jam just by funneling it strictly into NBA Elite and a Wii release.

Yes NBA Elite is the new name of the live series and this new iteration of NBA Jam is being developed in house, in EA Vancouver. So they can release it and sell it how they wish to do so.

Ah, never mind then. If its EA's project, then yeah, they can do what they will. I'm still thinking of the old Jams via. Midway.

supposedly Obama and Sarah Palin are in the game lol

It's getting decent reviews too, basically it stays true to the feel of the original and tries to add some new modes, with varying levels of success.

[Freeko]

Yeah Palin, Obama, McCain, Bush, Cheney, Biden, Hillary. Even USAtoday had a report on it.
