NFS: NITRO bringing in the big guns for added style photo

Need for Speed: NITRO is already looking to be quite colorful and stylish from what we have seen so far, but EA Montreal is taking it one step further by bringing on tokidoki, Upper Playground, and i am 8-bit to up the ante.

All three brands will be supplying custom skins, artwork, and even in-game brushes for you to customize your own slick rides. Now this may not seem like a huge deal to some of you, and most of the people who play NITRO will probably be too young or simply not know what something like i am 8-bit is, but I always love a good collaboration.

The game is still aiming for a November 17 release on both Nintendo DS and Wii.

Great idea on EA's part, their art should fit the game pretty damn well.

That's incredible! Good on EA! That actually peaked my interest in the game a bit.

You know, now I've looked at the screenshots of this, it's a damn shame they didn't bring it to the 360 and PS3. It could look bloody stunning with higher polycounts and antialiasing. Really dig the look of the thing.

*facepalm*

Do you have any idea of how many racing games are ALREADY on those systems? Let the Wii have a few good ones once in a while.

You want to know what it would look like? Pick up Forza 1 or 2, Project Gotham Racing 3 or 4, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Ridge Racer 6 and up, and god knows what else.
