Need for Speed NITRO

NITRO was developed by EA Montreal and released only on Nintendo’s Wii and DS consoles. With its fast-paced, aggressive gameplay and more than 30 cars, NITRO was a big winner with younger and casual players who wanted more of an action feel as opposed to the simulation-style offered by SHIFT.

Released in November 2009, Need for Speed NITRO was available only on Nintendo-based rigs -- the Wii and DS. An arcade-style racer that takes full advantage of the platform's unique controls to deliver a non-stop-fun experience.In NITRO, customization is key. You have the ability to not only trick out your ride, but also design your own "tag", and as when you're the leader in a race, that tag is plastered all over town to let everyone know who's the best.The game's namesake, the nitro boost, is another major factor in your racing career. Drift around corners, pass opponents, and perform other crazy driving maneuvers to gain boost. Then, once you hit a clear stretch of road, floor it.
