Need for Speed: Nitro trailer heads down to Rio

October 21st, 2009 at 04:15pm Under Wii / Nintendo

We always thought Rio was only good as a backdrop for gritty crime dramas or a place to shop for gigantic Jesus statues. Alas, the tropical climate is also very suitable for street racing — at least, according to this new trailer for EA’s arcade racer, Need for Speed: Nitro. The racing looks intense enough and it seems EA did a good job getting the sense of speed aspect down. However, even though EA is willing to take a risk on the platform, we hope the company is prepared should Nitro suffer the same fate as our beloved Dead Space Girl.

Need for Speed Nitro rushes to retail in early November

October 19th, 2009 at 01:01pm Under DS

Need for Speed Nitro, the graffiti-laced second entry in EA’s “fresh” Need for Speed trio, has pulled out of the garage sooner than expected. Promising a mixture of “the franchise’s trademark attitude, sense of speed and addictive gameplay,” the colorful Nitro has gone gold, with both Wii and DS versions now set to ship on November 3 in North America and November 6 in Europe.

Capitalizing on its Unique Art Style, the game will drape in-game vehicles with skins designed by popular “lifestyle brands,” including Upper Playground, tokidoki, and i am 8-bit. You’d be right in calling it a product of marketing, but it’s preferable to the alternative conjured up by the Dante’s Inferno promotional team: in-game vehicles draped in human skins.
