NBA Jam rated for Xbox 360 and PS3

[Guild McCommunist]

The new NBA Jam was scheduled to be released as a Wii exclusive later this year, but it now appears that it's to be joined at some point by Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. The German USK rating board has listings (via GamerBytes of an NBA Jam game from Electronic Arts on both systems.

It's been puzzling that EA wouldn't release the game on as many platforms as it could. 360 and PS3 versions of NBA Jam had been previously rumored after an EA software engineer listed the two systems as versions of the game she had worked on. She later removed those details, and while it may have been a simple mistake, it now looks like that isn't the case.

The ratings board offers up no information on the game's release date on either of the new systems, but expect to hear more about that once EA officially announces the additional platforms.

If it's true, I just hope the Wii version still gets the full treatment. Wii versions of multiconsole games are usually given the short end of the stick.

If true it would be two things:

1. A different game.
2. A port of the Wii game.

Its so far ahead in development and fairly hyped up that EA won't mess it up. They've not been too bad on the Wii, had some good exclusive titles.

If the games are just visually enhanced versions of the Wii-version I`m fine with that.

I think it is a good think if all plattforms get to have the same experience, because having it on one doesn`t dismiss the fun others have on another consols (but just if the games are the same!)...
