NBA Jam Screenshots: Still Sort of 2D

We still don’t know how NBA Jam for the Wii will play — or how the announcer will sound, for that matter — but these screenshots are worth a chuckle. Looks like Electronic Arts won’t rely completely on 16-bit nostalgia, with an art style that’s somewhat two-dimensional in that all the players look like paper cut-outs. It certainly gives makes the players look goofy, what with the big heads (big heads!) and all. If enough NBA stars get on board and aren’t afraid to get silly, the visuals alone could make this NBA Jam remake special. The game is due later this year; have a say in which stars make the cut by voting at EA’s NBA Jam Web site. [via Kotaku]
