Would you be interested in playing NBA Jam again but with updated rosters?  You're in luck, because EA Sports is releasing that very thing for the Wii.  You can shove each other, throw out elbows, do crazy dunks, and if you get three in a row the ball catches on fire.  I couldn't hear it that well on the E3 floor, but someone was definitely shouting out crazy stuff when we hit dunks.  Also, at one point the glass did shatter when the mascot did a pretty intense dunk.  It feels great, it looks good, and it was very satisfying to play as Kobe and Gasol against the Thunder (who, by default, include their mascot in the two-person team).  I got a kick out of the different frozen facial expressions the players would adopt.

The controls felt good, playing with the Wii remote and nunchuck.  At first I thought it would be annoying to have to flick the Wii remote up in order to begin a shot and then down to execute it (you also flick it up to block when on defense) but after a few plays it felt fine and I was executing dunks, lay-ups, and three-pointers without a second thought.  From the demo, I don't know if there will be any other modes or anything to justify whatever they're charging for it, considering it's basically a SNES game, but if you're an old school NBA Jam fan like I am then you shouldn't miss it.

If you have any questions, comment and I will try to answer.
