NBA 2K13 Wii U Features List and Video

2K Sports has released details on features for the Wii U version of NBA 2K13 and a new video showing the game in action for the first time has emerged.

2K13 will be a launch title for the new console, out on November 18, and include many of the same features found in the 360 and PS3 version such as the Dream Team, new MyCareer enhancements, and MyTeam which will be somewhat familiar to those who have played to the Ultimate Team modes found in several EA Sports titles. It will not, however, have the All-Star Weekend content that is being offered as a pre-order bonus for the 360/PS3.

Check out the first screenshots here and continue on for the initial features list (more remains unannounced) along with the first footage of the game in action!
