14 DAY TRIAL // After much debate and speculation over its own fate, NBA Jam has now been launched for the Nintendo Wii, so EA decided to officially reveal the whole list of unlockable characters from the game, and, most importantly, how to get them.
EA has been through some major turbulence with its basketball franchises, as the newly minted NBA Elite 11 was recently pushed back and a shroud of mystery still surrounds the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of NBA Jam.
Luckily for Nintendo Wii owners, their own version of NBA Jam was still shipped two days ago in North America, so EA decided to make their lives easier and reveal the whole list of unlockable characters from the game and what requirements they should meet in order to get them.
We've already heard about the fact that the game features politicians and musicians like the Beastie Boys, but now the whole list of characters is available below.
Check them out and see what you should do to unlock them from within the game, but be warned that these will spoil some of the surprise factor.
