ABOUT THE GAME

Need for Speed: Nitro is a 2009 racing video game and the fourteenth title in the Need for Speed series. It was published by Electronic Arts for the Nintendo Wii and DS platforms. The Wii version was developed by EA Montreal, who have previous experience with Nintendo consoles, while the DS version was developed separately by Firebrand Games' Florida studio. Nitro is the only game in the series to be released exclusively for Nintendo platforms, and one of only two games in the franchise to date (the other being the mobile No Limits) to not be released for PCs. It was one of three games announced in January, including Need for Speed: Shift and 2010's Need for Speed: World. An enhanced edition of the DS version, Need for Speed: Nitro-X, was released for DSiWare on November 26, 2010.
