Electronic Arts confirms 'NBA Jam' for Wii




from usatoday.com:

"Electronic Arts has confirmed it will remake the classic arcade hoops game NBA Jam for the Nintendo Wii.

The title, slated for release later this year, will stick to the roots of the original and add a few additional features.

"Diehard fans of the original game have been asking for a remake for more than a decade," says EA Sports President Peter Moore in a statement. "We're very excited to give them their wish this year with the return of this iconic franchise."

Rumors of an NBA Jam resurrection were first reported by ESPN, who said the original title's creator was brought to EA's Vancouver studio to work on the game.

It appears the revamped game will retain a similar gameplay style, but will add "true-to-life body types, updated physics, and visible player emotion," says an EA release."
