The music and the presentation in the trailer was not good. It looks like there could be a fun game there. Seems like they may be keeping the hip hop music approach from 'ballaz' and the Midway spiritual sequels to jam/hangtime.

Have to wait for an actual gameplay video to see what direction the in game presentation will take...

Why the hell is this a Wii exclusive? It would be perfect for Xbox Live and PSN.

This is pretty bad from this video. They can't take a 90's arcade game and make it extremely smooth in 2010 then they should just close up shop. From looking at this vid, I rather play the original Arcade over this.

EA != Basketball games... Leave it to 2k, thank you

Loved it on the N64.

The announcer sounds like he is just repeating the lines, like making a "old announcer impression". Don't like that.

  Was it called Jam on N64? I thought it was NBA Hang Time? : lectR

I don't like those stupid slide show faces, I'd rather have a animator/artist make the heads... it just looks weird, like those fucking christmas elves dancing radio shack e-card thing.
