Check out this hands-on preview of the upcoming NBA Jam title for the Wii. The storied franchise is finally coming back and EA isn't doing a bad job, in fact I think they got it just right.

When EA announced that they were bringing back NBA Jam and only on the Wii, like everyone else I was a little skeptical. I was afraid they would try to take the license and create something new that deviated from the classic gameplay. Thankfully as the development team said themselves “if we couldn’t create a game that had the same feeling as the classic NBA Jam, then we wouldn't have made it at all”. That sums up my experience with NBA Jam on the Wii. The controls are different, but the gameplay brings to mind all the quarters I spent in the mythical places known only as arcades. The team at EA Sports Canada has captured the feel of the classic title like no other game has since the original game released by Midway.
