EA not planning returns for NBA Street, Def Jam
A portion of a Guardian interview with EA Sports' Andrew Wilson...
G: You're relaunching Fifa Street and SSX early next year. Are there any plans to bring back other franchises from the EA Sports Big label, such as Def Jam Wrestling or NBA Street?
AW: Not right now. We're always looking at when the right opportunity may happen. We launched NBA Jam at the end of last year and we've launched NBA Jam: On Fire Edition on PSN and Xbox Live this month. Fifa Street is coming back for the first time in three years and SSX is back for the first time in four.
We never say never, but it has to be at a time where we have a team that's passionate about the property. What we've found is that passionate teams build great game. If we have that sort of team and we think the time's right to make that sort of product, we'd jump right back in there.
