The inevitable return of the old school classic NBA Jams is nearer and screenshots have emerged. The newer version will be exclusive to Nintendo Wii at the onset of its re-introduction.

Unsurprisingly, the characters are more developed. The functionality is more advanced and the graphics are tighter. The game, however, is said to play very similar to the original, inclusive of the bigheads and unworldly hops.

Also, each player will have a total of five facial expressions.

This game just may unseat bowling as the unprecedented favorite among retired jocks.
