NBA Jam
The announcement was a week ago but a scan of Nintendo Power from Go Nintendo shows what EA's NBA Jam is going to look like. Real photos for the head and 3D bodies makes for an interesting combination. The picture has the Boston Celtics with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett up against the Cleveland Cavaliers with LeBron James and Shaquille O'neal. The one screenshot, while having a new look, is reminiscent of the old school arcade game. Can't wait to try it out at E3 as I'm guessing that's when we'll be able to get some hands on time with it.
