The fast-paced, elbow-throwing, 2-on-2 basketball classic NBA Jam is finally making its inevitable comeback.
Electronic Arts announced that the classic arcade hit, debuted in 1993, will be revived on the Nintendo Wii this year.
"NBA Jam is one of the most recognizable franchises in video game history," said EA Sports president Peter Moore in a press release. "Diehard fans of the original game have been asking for a remake for more than a decade. We're very excited to give them their wish this year with the return of this iconic franchise."
Players can still become "en fuego," so this will be awesome. Players can still jump 15 feet in the air. Here's a full list of game features from Crave Online:
Fire
Shattering Backboard
Cheats
Flashing Shoes
Flashing ball
Big Head Mode
Legends
Playable Mascots
Secret Characters
There are rumors that the game will also come out on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but that are unsubstantiated.
Just because, here's a pretty great video from the original:
