German ratings board passes NBA Jam to 360, PS3 photo

Electronic Arts is bringing back NBA Jam this holiday, and I've played it, and it's awesome. Have you played NBA Jam before? You know what you're getting yourself into.

But there's been some people thumbing their noses at the fact that it's only been announced for the Wii. Why? The game doesn't feature any real motion control gameplay components, and there shouldn't be anything stopping EA from bringing it to other consoles. Rumors (and quickly-altered resumes) had pointed to the game hitting the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but nothing has been set in stone.

Now Siliconera has spotted what appears to the closest thing to confirmation that we can get, outside of EA sending us a press release. The German ratings board has just filed a rating for NBA Jam… for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Good news for fans who don't own Nintendo's console, but want to get their old-school arcade hoops on. Now the question remains, outside of high definition visuals, what more will these other versions have to offer? What would you like to see?

NBA Jam Is Heating Up For Xbox 360 [Siliconera]

I guess then the virtual console shouldn't exist because it doesn't implement motion technology, nor Kirby's Epic Yarn. Stupid people.

My problem with this game is that (At least for the Wii), is that it's a retail disk at full price. Fuck that.

Good thing they passes a sports game. I thought this was going to be indexed and I would have to show ID for it and get it in a brown paper bag. :P

Boo. All this does is legitimize the whiners who were just butthurt that they didn't own a Wii because they feel "too mature" for it.

Oh, that might be a fuck-up. You know, our USK tends to do that.

At least every fucking time they don't allow the release of a game.

Nowhere did Nick say that this shouldn't be on the Wii. Rather, he said that it shouldn't be ONLY on the Wii, because there are no motion control requirements preventing it from appearing elsewhere.

Nice try, though.
