NBA Jam: IGN Mega Info Dump

http://wii.ign.com/articles/109/1090959p1.html

....I think we have over 100 unlockable characters, teams, Privileges and other bonuses along the way.....

.... sometimes it's not a 2 on 2 experience – there are other ways to play, and that's kind of where we're going with it. We might flip the camera around and give you a different view other than that classic 2 on 2 cam. You might play some half-court games. And some things might pop up on the court and change the way things are going on and introduce some new strategies for people to play. Some game modes are going to be catered towards big dunkers, other game modes are going to be built towards maybe an outside shooter or all-round player…

...."We're going to have Magic and Larry Bird, but the one additional thing I can give you: if you're playing with your favourite original team in the original Jam, chances are you're going to be able to play with them in this. So if you had a favourite match-up back in the day? Chances are you're going to be able to play with those guys." ....

Awesome. This sounds promising as well:

"Jam was just the perfect fit [for Wii, but as far as other versions go] it's something that we're just going to have to see… we know what's going on, we read the message boards, we know the comments, of course we want Jam on everything we can get it on. We want as many people to play the game as possible, but right now we're just focused on the Wii, and as far as what the future may bring, it's not up to me, but if it does well, fingers crossed."
