SPOILER: show


Obama will be in NBA Jam along with Sarah Palin, George W Bush, John McCain, Dick Cheney, both Clintons, Al Gore and Joe Biden. Both political parties will have their own team colours and courts.
Only on the Wii version for now, though.

IDK. Played some today, and it's pretty boring playing by yourself. Why they would not put in online I don't even know

GameFly has listed NBA Jam's PS3 and 360 version for release Nov. 18 and while that's most likely a placeholder date, the fact a rental service lists the game indicates it will be a retail disc release, not a download.

EA Sports has yet to confirm its intentions for NBA Jam on PS3 or 360; it was originally to have been a free download with a one-use code shipping in NBA Elite 11, which was indefinitely postponed on Sept. 27. That version would have come without the game's "Remix Tour Mode."

Since the delay's announcement, however, the game's creative director has said EA Sports is "trying to throw it all in there" and deliver a release with most, if not all of the content in the Wii version, which released Oct. 5. That, plus high-definition graphics and online multiplayer, would seem to justify a $50 or $60 pricetag on something originally intended to be free.

It was recently revealed, by the winning bidder on an authentic copy of NBA Elite 11 whose NBA Jam download code still worked, that loading screens tipped off plans to offer Remix Tour as downloadable content later on.

Kotaku has contacted a representative of EA Sports Vancouver for comment. If any is given, it will be updated here.

Update: An EA Sports spokesman has responded. "The development team is working hard on NBA Jam on Xbox 360 and PS3 to get it finished in time for the holidays. We are not prepared to make any announcements at this time but we should have some exciting news to share very soon."

It's official. It'll be a disc.

NBA Jam's Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, originally meant to be a free digital download included with the now-delayed NBA Elite 11, will be a retail disc release, an EA Sports representative told Kotaku.

In an email this morning clearing up two weeks of speculation on the arcade slamfest's form factor, Jen Riley of EA Sports Vancouver said that EA Sports president Peter Moore's original blog post on Elite's delay mentioned that Jam's 360 and PS3 versions would be a retail release.

Moore's statement on Jam's uncoupling from Elite said, "[W]e're going to ship NBA JAM as a standalone product on the Xbox360 and PS3 in time for the holidays. Watch for more news soon on the exact timing of that release."

As that didn't differentiate explicitly between digital download and box release, this site and several others treated it as an open question.

Yesterday, the rental service Gamefly listed NBA Jam for a November launch, pointing to a disc release. "The fact that retailers are showing the box is because we are shipping Jam in a box on [Xbox 360 and PS3]," Riley told Kotaku today. "We just haven't announced a firm date."

With this confirmation and earlier statements from NBA Jam's creative director, saying the project team is trying to pack as much of the Wii version's content onto the PS3/360 release, signs point to at least a $50 and likely a $60 price point for this release.

The Wii version, released Oct. 5, included a "Remix Tour" mode that was to have become available as paid downloadable content for the PS3/360 NBA Jam download version. As the Wii version cost $50 and lacked online multiplayer and high definition presentation, one could imagine that NBA Jam with those two features and all of the original game content could command $60.

What exactly is the Remix Tour mode? Because I've played NBA Jam on the SNES and there's only so much you can pack into a game like that.

It has to be at least $50 to not kill off more sales from the Wii version although EA can get away with a $60 price tag just by using the "HD with online" as the extras excuse.

Biggest unconfirmed rumor right now with the game is even though the Wii version initially had online-play (30 fps), EA wanted it taken out as a way to charge more and generate interest in the HD versions coming later in the future. The NBA Elite debacle meant instead of waiting till early 2011, the HD versions had to come much sooner than expected.

Nintendo is also furious at being lied to when EA kept telling them the game would remain an exclusive and then gave the game preferred treatment during the Nintendo conference at E3 at the cost of a few other games.

Its mostly a tournament-style mode with boss battles or conditions to unlock all the extras characters in the game.

Yeah, Wii version is full price, HD ones are close to half price.
