Sports website ESPN claims to have confirmed (via anonymous sources) that EA is set to announce a brand new NBA Jam title exclusively for Wii this month.
In December EA Sports community manager Alain Quinto tweeted that the company was preparing to unveil a new game in January. It had been rumoured that this was an NFL training game aimed at the male Wii audience.
However, according to an ESPN report, “The new title is actually one of the all-time classics coming back to consoles as EA Sports has acquired the rights from the NBA to deliver an updated version of ‘NBA Jam’ that will ship to retail exclusively for the Wii.”
