Rumour: NBA Jam Heading to Wii?

Sources close to EA Sports have said the publisher has acquired the rights to develop an updated version of NBA Jam for Wii.

According to ESPN, the much loved two-on-two basketball game will be remade for the Wii with original creator Mark Turmell set to work on various sports titles, with other veterans also being hired to add some authenticity into the remakes.

The original arcade classic was developed by Midway back in 1993, holding the current record for most money earned at a single location in a week.

EA Sports has not yet announced anything officially, but prospects for a new NBA Jam do sound good.

Update IGN say that EA have told them an official announcement is taking place on January 11.
