Need for Speed NITRO is a unique game in many ways, and one of the coolest things about it are the many different styles of controlling your race experience available to you.

Utilizing the unique variety of schemes available on Nintendo Wii, there are five different ways to control the action when you play NITRO: Wii remote, Wii Wheel, Wii remote with Nunchuk, Classic controller and the Nintendo Gamecube controller.

When you sign into NITRO, press the (+) with the control pad to select the interface that works best for you in the game.

If you want to use the Wii remote hold it straight, pointed at the Wii sensor bar.

These are the controls when using the Wii remote:
 

 ACTION STANDARD CONTROLS DRAG MODE CONTROLS Steer Twist Wii remote left/right Twist Wii remote left/right or +Control Pad left/right Accelerate A Button A Button Brake/Reverse/Drift B Button B Button (no drift) Shift gears up N/A Shake Wii remote while accelerating Shift gears down N/A +Control Pad down Nitro Shake Wii remote (twice for double nitro) Shake Wii remote (twice for double nitro when in top gear) Use pick-up + Control Pad down N/A Look back + Control Pad up + Control Pad up Reset car - Button N/A Pause game + Button + Button

 
With the Wii Wheel setup, you can hold the Wii remote up and horizontally like a steering wheel, with or without the Wheel accessory.
These are the controls when using the Wii Wheel:

 

 ACTION STANDARD CONTROLS DRAG MODE CONTROLS Steer Turn left/right Turn left/right Accelerate 2 Button 2 Button Brake/Reverse/Drift  1 or B Button B Button (no drift) Shift gears up N/A + Control Pad up Shift gears down N/A + Control Pad down Nitro A Button (twice for double nitro) A Button (twice for double nitro when in top gear) Use pick-up + Control Pad up N/A Look back + Control Pad down 1 Button Reset car - Button N/A Pause game + Button + Button

 

Here is the control setup when using the Wii remote and Nunchuk (my favorite) combination:
 

 ACTION STANDARD CONTROLS DRAG MODE CONTROLS Steer Control stick Control stick Accelerate A Button A Button Brake/Reverse/Drift B Button B Button (no drift) Shift gears up N/A Z Button Shift gears down N/A C Button Nitro Shake Wii remote (twice for double nitro)Shake Wii remote (twice for double nitro when in top gear) Use pick-up Z Button N/A Look back C Button + Control Pad up Reset car - Button N/A Pause game + Button + Button

 

If you choose to use the classic Nintendo Wii controller, here is the layout:
 

 ACTION STANDARD CONTROLS DRAG MODE CONTROLS Steer L Stick L Stick Accelerate R Button R Button Brake/Reverse/Drift L Button L Button (no drift) Shift gears up N/A A Button Shift gears down N/A X Button Nitro B Button (twice for double nitro) B Button (twice for double nitro when in top gear) Use pick-up A Button N/A Look back Y Button Y Button Reset car - Button N/A Pause game + Button + Button

 

And finally, if you’d rather stick with the Nintendo Gamecube controller, this is the control scheme:
 

 ACTION STANDARD CONTROLS DRAG MODE CONTROLS Steer Control stick Control stick Accelerate R Button R Button Brake/Reverse/Drift L Button L Button (no drift) Shift gears up N/A A Button Shift gears down N/A X Button Nitro B Button (twice for double nitro) B Button (twice for double nitro when in top gear) Use pick-up A Button N/A Look back Y Button Y Button Reset car X Button N/A Pause game START/PAUSE START/PAUSE

 

So there you have it, all five different control layouts for Need for Speed NITRO.
