Somehow this totally skipped my normally very strong radar signals a couple of days ago. Aussie gaming aficionado Luke Plunkett at kotaku (the place to go for video games news) had the revelation that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson will indeed be part of the upcoming NBA Jam release on Wii.
“…pitched at those aged 30 and up, the game will include a campaign mode which culminates in a match against Bird & Johnson, who presumably will be playing with their 1980’s bodies and skillsets, not those of 2010.”
After you get over the excitement, take a read of this kotaku piece on how NBA Jam was revived. Interesting reading.
