NBA JAM Nintendo WII New Boooooooom-shaka-laka! EA Sports is bringing back the classic, most beloved arcade basketball game ever—NBA JAM—exclusively for the Nintendo Wii in 2010
Originally made by Midway back in 1993 for video arcades, NBA JAM was a humongous hit, with exciting, over-the-top, cartoony 2-on-2 basketball action that defied both traditional basketball rules as well as the laws of gravity and physics. It was the basketball game for people who didn t like—or even know how to play—basketball. And it even let you play as Bill Clinton—if you knew how to unlock the character. Now EA Sports is reinventing the game for the 21st century with all-new graphics and physics, as well as new game modes and features. No word yet on whether Clinton is coming back, or the Mortal Kombat characters, or whether the new game will still cheat to ensure that the Pistons always beat the Bulls. One nice update that we can confirm: You won t have to keep feeding quarters into your Wii to keep playing! Hooray ESRB Rating: E for Everyone 10 Genre: Sports Features: Boomshakalaka!

I grew up with this game when it was by Acclaim. Ahh the memories. I didn't think a new remake would do so well here in 2010, but man, was I wrong. This is the ultimate remake of any classic sports game I've ever played. It's got new rosters, new graphics, new music, and best of all, it's NBA Jam! Forget what you know about real basketball, this is arcade basketball at its finest. No fouls, no timeouts, just crazy 2 on 2 fun. What's so great about this game is the endless unlockables. You can unlock tons of..
ok, this game is amazing, NBA JAM is a classic, and they took the best parts of it and added more, the game is tons of fun, and although the game is extremely simple, with the new remix tour along with classic campaign the game is amazing. no, there isnt online play, which is a major blow, but the game is still tons of fun and thats what this review is about.
I'm a child of the 80s and I can vividly remember dropping countless quarters into the NBA Jam arcade. It was the fast-paced, ultra-fun, pick up and play aspects of NBA Jam that had us all hooked in the mid-90s. EA Sports did a beautiful job updating the game for the modern audience. The game feels, pretty much, untouched. Although there is a great deal of nostalgia in this and other remakes, I wonder how the current generation of gamers (who didn't have the absolute pleasure of playing NBA Jam in it's glor..
