Need for Speed: Nitro-X

Need for Speed: Nitro-X is a newer installment and the sequel to the original Need for Speed: Nitro. Announced shortly after E3 2010 (Hot Pursuit and Shift 2: Unleashed), EA released details on bringing the Need for Speed series onto Nintendo's digital distribution DSiWare service and the upcoming Nintendo 3DS system. Titled Need for Speed: Nitro-X, the game is essentially the original release with a couple of updates, such as 18 licensed vehicles, never-before-driven police units, custom tagsfor in-game usage of the DSi camera, 16 updated tracks from all six original Nitro locations, a revised career mode, local multiplayer matchs for up to 4 players, as well as new rewards and unlockables. The game will be released as a digital download only and as such, be priced at a premium (800+ Nintendo points). It was originally going to be released on September 20, 2010, but EA delayed the game slightly to work on improving the in-game physics engine. It became re-sceduled for a release on October 8, 2010, in North America. It was delayed once again and was released on November 15, 2010 in North America and November 26, 2010 in Europe.
