EA Sports has released another set of screenshots for the remake of NBA Jam. The five new screens can be found in the gallery. The Wii exclusive game (XBL/PSN next year) still does not have a set release date but is expected out in the October-December quarter.

That was before the release date being late in the year was known though, largely invalidatin...
