EA announces new NBA Jam, no Wii version planned

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii

EA just sent me a press release announcing a new NBA Jam title for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. So, why am I sharing this news here? Well, I thought it was interesting that there is no Wii version in the works.

To be fair, it is being made available for digital download, so it wouldn’t exactly be easy to bring the title to WiiWare considering the service’s file size limit. Then again, EA was planning on launching last year’s title as a retail release for Wii and a digital download for the PS3/360 before cancelling NBA Elite 11. 2010’s reboot was going to be a Wii exclusive, but it later ended up on other platforms. And now the “sequel” won’t even be released for Nintendo’s console.

Just to let you guys know, I’m definitely not bitter. I may very end up purchasing the title on the PS3. Just thought you all would be interested in hearing about this!
