Need for Speed: Nitro screens have cars photo

Those of us unhappy with Need for Speed: Shift's shift to a more "realistic" style of racing and overall general crappyness might actually be looking forward to a Wii racer that isn't developed by Nintendo as Need For Speed: Nitro bursts onto the Wii and DS. If our experience with the game is any indication it looks like another gaming company might have actually been able to master the the Wii steering wheel. It's a complicated piece of plastic, evidently.

The images below show off some more of the plethora of licensed cars that the game features. These are the Class B cars and they include such awesome cars as the Porche Caymans S 2008 and a 1968 Corvette. I think those are awesome cars. I'm not entirely sure, which means that the game is most likely geared towards me! Three cheers for a lack of car knowledge and an inability to even remotely handle any game that drives like a real car! Plastic steering wheels and cartoonishly shaped vehicles are always going to get my vote.

Also, donate!

I actually like the graphics in this game...sure they might be this way because of lazy ass developers.

But this game looks like the OLD Need for speed games, you know, the ones that were GOOD and FUN.

I just hope you can drive like you can in mario kart...

I do like the look of this game. It seems to have its own direction, rather than the "LOLREALISM" branch of NFS, and that's a really good thing.

Plus, the graphics actually aren't half bad. They seem to have pulled off the cartoony look rather well.

The more I see of NITRO, the more it gives me an "NFSUG3' vibe... looks really awesome.

Yeah, I liked the old Need for speeds on gamecube and at the arcade, the ones with BRIGHT colors and cool cities.

Not the black and grey worlds with dark colored cars and serious racing.

I hope this one has free roam.

Well, Rush 2 is still the best non-mario racing game ever in my book, so I'm looking forward to this one.
