I'll be the first to admit that over the past few years I hated the Need for Speed games. I didn't like either of the Underground games, Pro Street, Carbon, or Most Wanted. As far as I was concerned EA should have just killed off the franchise altogether. But rather than killing off the franchise EA has completely changed up the Need for Speed formula, and I love it."

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.
