EA is finally doing something that appears to be very smart for the Wii sports titles. EA knows that their standard sports titles such as Madden aren't doing well on the Wii. Tiger Woods '10 is one of their few shining successes on the Wii.
NBA Jam is a game that couldn't be better designed for the Wii's core demographic. If they touch this game up right and keep the fun-factor high, I predict that it will come close to selling 1 million units. For those of you who weren't gaming back then, NBA Jam was a game that was almost universally admired by everyone who played it. I spent many all-night sessions with my friends.
The gameplay should be simple and addictive, the graphics updated, and usage of the Wii Controller if designed well could actually aid in making this game even more fun than the originals.
EA should also bundle in a copy of the old game for nostalgia's sake.
Most anticipated games of 2011:
Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith
Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D
