EA Reveals NBA Jam-esque 3 on 3 NHL Arcade
It seems like every few years one developer or another cobbles together a wacky sports title. This time it's Electronic Arts and the firm's newly revealed 3 on 3 NHL Arcade.
As the name suggest, 3 on 3 NHL Arcade takes basic hockey tenets and melds them with a more arcadey-action feel: Bone-crushing body checks are encouraged, power-ups are plentiful and each player is granted a gargantuan head.
3 on 3 NHL Arcade will be available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network Store February 2009. The official press release lists a $10 retail price.

the graphics in that shot are probably placeholders, but it's kind of weird that you can see "Iginla" on the blue jersey, but no team logos. on first glance it looks like a first attempt at using photo-realistic Miis.
Realistic faces and giant heads don't mix. Those mugs are frightening.
Nah, that's just old-school NBA Jam Big Head mode. Perfectly fine.

Although I'd rather have it be 2-on-2, like the great NHL Open Ice arcade game. Nevertheless, $10? Sold.

(And those are pretty close to the all-star game jerseys, so maybe that's what they used for the default images)
The NHL still exists?
If it wasn't for Sean Avery's sloppy seconds, I wouldn't even remember that it was still around.
