NBA 2K13, developed by the kind folks at 2K Sports, finally has it’s launch trailer as it heads to the Wii U with a hefty amount of fan-fare. After all, the game itself is a pretty evolution on the original, with 4000 animations and improved ball control. That’s not included MyCAREER mode which brings forth detailed analysis and stat-tracking.
But like all Wii U adaptations, this one has it’s share of gimmicks. Gimmicks would probably be the wrong word, but it is what it is. How else does one explain the Gatorade Biometrics Scanner with a straight face?
Besides using the Wii U Gamepad to make substitutions and plays on the fly, you can also use the Gamepad as an AR reader to see the various states of exhaustion of the players. It can also be used to detect various hot spots, where the activity of the court is highest, and plan accordingly. It looks weirder than it sounds. Check it out above.
