Game coming in 2010, and is said to deliver "new gameplay depth."

Though not exactly surprising, EA finally officially announced an NBA Jam revival on the Nintendo Wii. The game is due out sometime in 2010, and promises a nostalgic basketball trip, along with "new game modes, characters, and gameplay depth." As predicted, the game is in development at the Vancouver studio. Mark Turmell, the creator of the series recently brought on at EA Tiburon, is likely to be taking an advisory role in the series reboot.
"NBA Jam is one of the most recognizable franchises in video game history," said EA Sports president Peter Moore in the press release. "Diehard fans of the original game have been asking for a remake for more than a decade. We're very excited to give them their wish this year with the return of this iconic franchise."

For now, the game has only been announced for the Wii. But, the rumors stated an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version would follow, and said rumors have been right on so far. The Wii version may be a timed exclusive or simply a timed announcement; either way, we expect to hear something about the game on HD systems eventually.
