NBA Jam Designer Seeking Two Million Downloads
NBA Jam is making the jump from retail to downloadable with this fall's "On Fire Edition," and designer Trey Smith hopes that this will mean a big surge in interest in the game.
Speaking to Kotaku, Smith said that he'd like two million potential players to download the free demo version of NBA Jam: On Fire Edition. He didn't give a specific number of full game purchases he wants after people get the demo, but for now he's focusing on people getting the game and trying it out, even in a free form.
With NBA Jam: On Fire Edition hitting both Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this fall, two million doesn't seem totally absurd. Anyone else planning to give it a shot?
