Important information

As of 27/03/2023, it will no longer be possible to make purchases in Nintendo eShop for Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

The greatest players in NBA history and the new dynasty of talent clash on the court in NBA 2K13 on Wii U! Developers Visual Concepts, executive producer JAY Z and Wii U all combine to take virtual hardwood to the next level.

Easily call plays, make substitutions and change your strategy on the Wii U GamePad’s touch screen, all without pausing the action. See whose head’s in the game and who’s throwing up bricks with a new biometric scanner that gives you in-depth info on players’ moods, fatigue levels and more.

Build your own player with a comprehensive creator, then bring him to life with signature skills and custom animations. Set out on an expansive career mode that spans beyond the court – pursue product endorsements, collect custom shoes, and much more on your quest to become the greatest.

Put together your own dream team by gathering players, uniforms, arenas and more. The performance of players in real NBA games affects the talent marketplace, and you can take your team online to play against others in a new tiered-matchmaking system.

Skip all the hard work on the way to greatness by picking from some of the best teams in NBA history, including the '96 Bulls and the '65 Celtics, and see which team's truly the greatest: the 2012 U.S. Men's National Team or the 1992 "Dream Team".

  • Take to the court in a stunningly detailed basketball simulation
  • Get an instant feel for your players' moods and fatigue levels with the biometric scanner
  • Create your own player and team, or choose from some of the best teams in NBA history
