News: He's on Fire! Somebody's going to get fired!
A ratings certificate for an NBA Jam release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 has been spotted on the ESRB's website.
Officially, the return of the world's greatest basketball franchise is supposed to be a Wii exclusive when it releases on October 5, but rumors of a version for the HD consoles has dogged EA since the game's introduction. The ESRB is actually the second ratings board to evaluate a PS3/Xbox 360 version of NBA Jam. The UnterhaltungssoftwareSelbstKontrolle (USK) of Germany first rated it a few weeks ago.
The Wii listing and the PS3/Xbox 360 listing are currently considered two separate ratings on the ESRB's website. That likely means that if a PS3/Xbox 360 version is in the works (a likely scenario at this point), it'll be released sometime after the Wii version.
We'll have more soon.
