Can I just ask something, as I'm not too sure on the modes...

Does the game have local multiplayer on Wii?


It better. I can imagine the game w/o it O.o it would be plain.... stupid, to be honest

Then considering everyone on these forums with half a brain knows that local multiplayer on Wii is a big thing... Bigger than Online Multiplayer...

It's another advantage you can put forward for the game.


Well...local  multiplayer is a must have. It shouldnt be a plus, or an extra. Especially on the wii. And yeah, Local > Multiplayer in my eyes. IS not an advantage, is just something natural.

But for other people, Online>Local. Eventhough Online is an extra (imo) the game should have it, because they are releasing the game in the HD's will have it. I dont see why wii cant have it, to be honest.

The Wii would have had it if the Wii's online system wasn't garbage.

The developer wanted it to run at 60fps, they couldn't achieve that online on Wii.

Instead of putting a shoddy laggy online mode into the game... They removed it, and let the Wii have Remix Tour.

I don't know if I can buy that one, when Mario Kart's online runs perfect. Hell, playing with people from the UK (me, in Mexico) and have no problema.....  come on.

I'd actually say that this is less insulting to Wii owners. Which are you more likely to pay $50 for, a downloadable game or some bonus content tossed into another game?

Either way, I'll be waiting until the disc version is priced more in line with what EA thinks this game is worth. Shouldn't take too long.

I don't think I've ever known a game to be released over various platforms with differing game modes on each where at least one platform doesn't have everything.

It's truly bizarre. It's like you'd have to get the Wii version and either the PS3/360 version to get every game mode. Maybe that's what EA want? Two sales per user instead of one...

Edit: Oh, and don't forget the inevitable DLC somewhere down the line...

Dead Space: Extraction, Muramasa, No More Heroes and now NBA Jam. Port over Red Steel 2, And Yet It Moves, Trauma Team and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and I can delay my possible Wii re-purchase for a little longer.

On the serious side, EA are really screwing around with the brand name. I have no clue what's happening with any of the versions and it seems like to much of hassle when they could have just announced it multi-platform from the beginning. 



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

I expect EA to not advertise the Wii version of NBA Jam at all and then use its poor sales to justify to their investors why it's just not worth it to make a good Wii game

What an incredibly dickish move.

Well that was obvious from the start. Now they'll blame the Wii version for not selling as well as the HD one...I wonder why...a game with no online and 5x price?

EA has gone from horrible to acceptable to horrible again.

I will not be buying this game.

Here we go with they, they wont advertise excuse, if your posting on this website your a core gamer, you dont need advertisment cause you already know about the games existence, only the casuals would need some kind of tv or magazine ads and chances are they wouldnt be buying this kinda game anyway. If your not buying this game, and it flops its because you simple chose not too. Dont blame no advertisment. I could name a few games with no advertisment that didnt flop
