NBA Jam

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 Originally made by Midway back in 1993 for video arcades, NBA JAM was a humongous hit, with exciting, over-the-top, cartoony 2-on-2 basketball action that defied both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.

Features

	All 30 NBA Teams and more: The top three players, as chosen by the fans, from every NBA team in the are featured in NBA Jam, but that's not all. Over 100 unlockable teams, characters, privileges, and mascots will also be playable.
	Classic NBA JAM Gameplay: Fast paced two on two action is what lies at the core of the NBA JAM experience. Take on a defender one on one, and pull a last minute spin as he goes to shove you. Throw an alley-oop to your teammate as he comes down with an on fire, backboard smashing dunk.
	Multiplayer Goodness: Go at it alone or jump into the multiple multiplayer options available in NBA JAM. With two on two co-op play throughout the campaign mode, as well as two on two head-to-head competition, there are lots of ways to share the NBA JAM love.
	Multiple Control Schemes: Whether you prefer to shoot using the Wii's motion controls, or by pressing a button, NBA JAM gives gamers the chance option when it comes to control schemes. - Choose from motion controls, classic controls or plug in the Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro, and dominate the hardwood on your terms.
	Player Likeness: Witness as the past and future collide in the visuals.
	Two Campaign modes: Want to experience some nostalgia? - Then pop into Classic campaign mode to get exactly what you remember from NBA Jam. Looking for something a little bit different? Jump into the Remix Tour and experience an all-new twist on Jam - choose your own path to glory as you participate in game modes that you might not expect and face off against some of the biggest legends in the sport.

For those who aren’t old enough to remember hearing the play-by-play guy yell “Boomshakalaka” on either a home console or in the arcade, NBA Jam is two-on-two arcade basketball at its finest.
