Now NBA Elite 11 is delayed, so now NBA Jam is a standalone game for the 360 and PS3. Can I say bullshit on EA? They know damn well nothing is wrong with NBA Elite 11 to give it a delay, they just wanted to do that to screw people over once again and get what they always wanted with NBA Jam.  

So now, NBA Jam can officially go on the same list as Dead Space: Extraction. What list are you asking? The "Games EA Hyped The Shit Out of because of Wii Exclusivity, but Later Made Available On Another Console or Consoles" list.  

And for the people saying "Wuuh," that's right, Dead Space Extraction is going to be on the PS3 using Move support. EA also just recently branded into their minds Move could capture the Wii audience. The audience they are referring to is very much unknown.

*facepalm*

At least HD owners will be paying for it instead of getting it free now.  I'm guessing they are still getting more features for absolutely no reason though.  Just watch, this is now going to flop on the Wii because of this, and EA is going to blame it on Wii owners.

Actually while the HD versions have online, that's (supposedly) the only thing they are getting that the Wii version doesn't have, while (again supposedly) the Wii version has things the HD version won't (I'm not well versed in the details since I never intended to buy the game anyway). You should note that online or not, Nintendo Power gave the Wii version a 9.

"Just watch, this is now going to flop on the Wii because of this, and EA is going to blame it on Wii owners." - I completely agree. And just like they pointed at its favorable reviews when people said Extraction was destined to flop, so will they here, disregarding the real reasons for the flop. Oh well.
