Need for Speed: Nitro

Need for Speed: Nitro is a 2009 installment in the long-running video game franchise. It was published by Electronic Arts for the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms. It was announced in January as part of a three-game announcement that included Need for Speed: Shift and Need for Speed: World Online. The game was being developed by EA Montreal, who has previous experience with Nintendo titles, although the DS version is being developed separately by Firebrand Games' Florida studio.

In contrast to Need for Speed: Shift, Nitro is the first game made from the ground up to be exclusively for Nintendo Wii and DS. Like Need for Speed: Undercover, this game is an arcade racing game incorporating Burnout's drifting and the use of nitrous, which is the prime attribute to winning the race. However, there isn't any online support, although it has a great multiplayer experience with co-op racing for the first time and multiple control choices on the Wii console.
