EA has stamped an official release date on their upcoming racer Need for Speed Nitro. Nitro, the first Need for Speed title made exclusively for the Wii and DS will be available on the 20th of November.
SPC writes, "Sunday is this week's kickoff of SuperPhillip Central content, and with it we see a retro review. The announcement of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to the Nintendo Switch saw the site developing a vested interest in arcade racing games. Last week, we took a look at Pac-Man World Rally, a kart racer. Now, we look at a different kind of racer with this retro review of the Wii version of Need for Speed: Nitro."
Is Need For Speed: NItro-X as good as the Wii version of the game? Not quite, but it's still cheap racing fun.
Had Nitro been given online capabilities the score would have been higher just on merit. But the lack of it, coupled with the "meh" presentation and production values makes this Need for Speed a hot rod with nothing impressive under the hood.
The Wii version looks pretty good. Just pure fun.
The DS version looks like crap, has horrible graphics and is generally inferior to Asphalt 4(which was an 800 point download!).
