Game Play

The gameplay is arcade style. It will feature cops, that will obstruct the player’s progress in a race. Races will have up to 12 racers, and feature different modes, such as sprints, circuits, knockout, etc. In a race, when you are in front the buildings will be painted in your paint scheme of your choice. A trailer was released on the Need for Speed website depicting four cartoon-like vehicles that are actually disproportionate real-life vehicles. The cars were a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, a Nissan Skyline, an Audi R8, and a Lamborghini Reventon. The trailer also displayed the buildings in different vibrant colors and several disproportionate police vehicles (Shelby GT500’s). An interesting fact to note is that the police cars had the Spanish and Portuguese word for police, Policia, written on the side which may indicate that the game will take place in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil (Rio street circuit is confirmed) or Portugal. However, screen shots have depicted the typical American black and white color scheme and the English word, Police, on the side of the vehicle as well, suggesting that the game may take place in several cities worldwide. Other cars, including the Nissan 370Z, Shelby GT500, Porsche Cayman S, Lamborghini Gallardo, Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Charger and Ford GT have been seen in screen shots.

There are to be 30 classic and modern cars(33 on Nintendo DS) included in Nitro on Nintendo Wii.
