IGN writes - Need for Speed Nitro isn't hitting Nintendo DS until this November, but already we've had a chance to go hands-on with the game and give it a quick spin in both quick race and career mode. If you've been paying attention to the Wii version of Nitro you know that EA is taking the Need for Speed series in an all-new direction on Nintendo's platforms, and that rings true for on-the-go pocket racing as well. Nitro on DS, in fact, is even more off-the-wall and insane than the arcade-inspired Wii version. How so? Read on and find out in our first hands-on with the game.
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.
