The one where Need for Speed meets Pixar and Mario Kart.Need for Speed: Nitro is a racing game and the fourteenth title of the Need for Speed series. It was published by Electronic Arts for the Wii and Nintendo DS platforms. It is also one of only two games in the franchise to date (the other being the mobile No Limits) to not be made for PC and the only game of the franchise to be released only for Nintendo consoles.Unlike the sim-style Shift released months earlier, the game is an arcade-like racer akin to Underground games, combined with highly-stylized cartoonish graphics. It takes place in five exotic real-world cities: Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, Madrid, Singapore, and Dubai, with each city having a top racer and three tiers of cars. The DS version of the game also includes San Diego, but lacks top racers.The game was developed by EA Montreal, who have previous experience with Nintendo titles, while the DS version was developed separately by Firebrand Games' Florida studio. An improved version of the DS edition of the game, Need for Speed: Nitro-X, was released for DSiWare. It makes police cars available for players to use. | |

What a Piece of Junk | |
| Need for Speed: Nitro (Video Game) / int_437e70f5 | comment |
What a Piece of Junk: Some old-school cars are featured in the game, but also pack quite a punch and are customizable. Some examples are the Volkswagen Beetle and its Type 2, The Renault 4L and a Nissan Cube. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
| Need for Speed: Nitro (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: You can get busted by the police if you get unlucky enough. All that happens is you respawning none less than wear with the only penalty of losing a few seconds. Averted in Elimination mode, where getting Busted counts as getting eliminated. | |

Green Aesop | |
| Need for Speed: Nitro (Video Game) / int_56b53152 | comment |
Green Aesop: The games features the Tesla Roadster, an electric car. It comes with a unique nitro backfire as it spits out electric tendrils from the rear, which is ironic since the car in Real Life has no exhaust pipes. | |

Fragile Speedster | |
| Need for Speed: Nitro (Video Game) / int_5979acea | comment |
Fragile Speedster: Among the high-end supercars in the roster is the Pagani Zonda R. It has max stats in speed, accel, drift and handling, but extremely low in strength, meaning collisions can make you lose a chunk of your nitro bar easily, hindering from regenerating any nitro. | |

Fisher King: When a racer leads the race, the surrounding landscapes, buildings and even lines on the road are textured with the graffiti, colors and tag of the leader's car. Everything may change if another racer takes the lead. | |

Denser and Wackier: Nitro is definitely this in comparison with the rest of the franchise. While even the most arcade-style games strived for being somewhat realistic-looking, this one features cartoonish art styles and gameplay to boot. | |

Nitro Boost | |
| Need for Speed: Nitro (Video Game) / int_95f972d2 | comment |
Nitro Boost: It won't be Nitro without the nitro, hence the name. It comes in two different nitro boosts, a small basic nitro by simply shaking the Wii remote and a powerful nitro (which depletes even more) by shaking the Wii remote twice. | |

Ascended Extra: The Volkswagen Beetle, which was a traffic car in Need for Speed II, becomes a player-usable vehicle in this game.note The Beetle would later appear in Payback, Heat and Unbound, in which it's actually able to be turned into an exceptionally fast vehicle after being modded. | |

Artistic License – Cars: None of the aforementioned cities use Hummers, Shelby GT500s or Lancer Evolutions as their police cars in Real Life. In fact, none of them would actually have the funds to procure a sports car for a police unit. The sole exception is Dubai in which they have a fleet of police supercars, but only used for show. Singapore used to have Subaru Impreza WRX in their police fleet, but that's it. | |
