"All Brazilians are like that, we're always playing Soccer (Futbol!)" I feel you man... As a Mexican, i can confirm that we wear sombreros and we sleep all day besides cactus, eating Tortillas
There’s saying that goes something like: “each joke has a bit of joke in it. The rest is truth” are you saying that Brazilians don’t love football? Or Russians don’t drink vodka? Or Mexicans don’t eat tacos? It might be a bit overblown, but why are feeling ashamed for it?
@@max7971 well the same could be say about the popular stereotype that all Americans are egocentric racist. Just because it's common don't mean you can just say that about a entire country Is like this.
Nitro had some insane difficulty spikes as well. You needed to buy the fastest and most expensive car in each class to just have a fighting chance at winning. I couldn't even complete the last cup because I couldn't afford the most expensive car in the game, The Zonda R.
The artistic direction, character design, animation and the whole graffiti idea was amazing imo, the tracks actually looked good, this game is a part of my childhood with my wii Dubai,Singapur and Cairo were my favorite tracks visually, I liked the cop knockout game mode, fun fact, I thought if you finished the whole game in all difficulties (bronze and etc…) you could unlock free roam, I spent a lot of time and months trying to finish one last challenge wich was the drift platinum (I think) challenge in Spain
Hmm and I always heard Brazil was just kids kicking a ball but in front of rainbow houses while Bob Burnquist skateboarded by. I had a friend from Sao Paulo who said that and taught me Portuguese
Personally I love this game, it is so underrated. The gameplay is fun, the graphics are great for a Wii game, the soundtrack is a banger, the cars look goofy and they sound awesome, and the characters are stereotypical but memorable. Just the mere concept of racing around and filling the city with your own customizable signature graffiti is just nuts. It kinda gets repetitive with the lack of tracks and the bronze, silver and gold cups, but still I really enjoyed it. 8/10, absolutely recommended
I grew up playing the DS Version and I had an absolute blast playing that game so many memories and hours spent. I remember when I would get picked up from school and my mom would hand me my DS and I would play the game with some headphones. I still have the receipt of when I got the game. The game cost 30 dollars and my parents paid 4 dollars for a 1-year warranty thing and in total it cost $36.90. I got the game on November 21 2009 at Best Buy. I once went to a blockbuster which was a place to rent video games and I saw that Need For Speed Nitro was on the Wii and so I rented it out and 9 year old me hated it because the driving mechanics were terrible and I remember telling my mom the DS version is wayyyyy better than the Wii version. I still own the game and I will play it every now and then. The soundtrack is so good I still listen to it till this day there are definitely some bangers in there.
Yeah same, the DS version fucking slaps. I never olayed the Wii version but i can see why a lot of people didn't like it with these whacky characters and the weird cartoon artstyle. Fortunately the DS version had none of that.
@@allfatherlloyd1941 dude, I had beat every mission except for one. I could never beat the ford gt/basketball, you had to collect a bunch of smashables in an obsurdly short amount of time.
Bro this game was such a nostalgic memory for me. Growing up with this need for speed was amazing. The tracks, the cars, the music and sounds (the skyline is my favorite sounding, along with the zonda r) and the overall gameplay really made this game unique among the others. And even though this game was pretty goofy and very different from the main formula, I think that was the point when the devs were making the game (Perhaps also because it was made by EA Montreal and not EA America). And yea the characters were stereotypical but it was a different time back then in my opinion. But other than that, it’s a great Mario-kart like racer with elements that make it a hardcore racing game (well not completely but somewhat). Also for the car editing, I’d recommend just using the wii remote if you’re gonna add vinyls to the car. Works much better than a control stick when you can point to specific parts of the car.
As a born Paraguayan (but mostly grown up in Canada) the beetle (or fuuki [foo-key] as my family calls it) was also very close to us. My dad owned something like 7 of them before we moved to Canada. Hope to one day own one myself.
@@heisenberg9861 ah, maybe because my family is German we called it differently lol. The spelling of how I said it might be wrong, low German spelling is weird for me, but the way I broke it down (foo-key) is the exact way we pronounce it.
I don't really like Nitro all that much, but I really enjoy the game's artstyle. I'll never understand the mindset that the artstyle is terrible _because_ it's cartoonish. I guess it's because us Need For Speed fans are used to literally every other NFS games having a realistic artstyle and aesthetic.
Yeah, it kinda sucks that they can't try anything different, but at the same time, if they screw it up everyone has to wait 2 years I'm split and it's hard to trust EA these days :(
@@DefNotMyBurner True. I guess it comes down to personal preference, but it really feels like this game's artstyle gets a bit of a bad rep because it's so different compared to other NFS.
Really random story but feels nice to "get off my chest" My family grew up very poor and buying a used Wii from a flea market around 2010 with a no-name CRT TV was a big deal for my family and something which i remember very fondly. In the beginning we only had the wii sports game (i played almost exclusively tennis, my dad loved golf tho). But after some months and enough nagging we sometimes bought games you would literally find for 5€ in the supermarket bargain bin (like ford off road racing or littlest pet shop friends). I dont remember exactly why but for this game me and my dad took the bus to the city centre (I was like 7 yo) and we bought it from a gamestop (probably pre-owned). I dont know how much exactly it was but even i "acknowledged" that it was a lot of money for my dad at the time. I also remember there was a demo kiosk of blur and the split/second game and i always "dreamt" of having a 360/ps3 and games with graphics like that. But anyways i was absolutely exctatic about NFS Nitro and i spent most of my 1st grader life playing the game. The first day i had the game, my family went to get groceries and i would call them and update them on my progress 😂😂 My dad had to move away from the country because of work and my mom was always working very late shifts while my sister was at kindergarden, so i walk home from school, make myself a sandwich and just vibe on this game for hours on end waiting for my mom and sister to come home. Always felt kinda "adult" like for a 7yo but thats pretty normal in finland ig. Back then ofc i thought the characters in the cinematics were really cool, and having never visited any other country ever it really filled in the stereotypes lol. In hindsight, it really isnt a great game but it did make me very happy as a child. I rarely went back to ford/landrover racing off road (5€ supermarket game) even though that wasnt bad either. I also had chrysler classic racing but even for my standards back then that game was literal ass, its hard to even find gameplay of it, it literally plays like a 99c steam asset flip game except on wii. On the weekends when my sister was home we would sometimes play wii sports or the littlest pet shop game, which is also really cute and honestly to this day holds up well as a kids game. I did have a random acer windows xp laptop from around 2003 as a pass-me-down from an aunt of mine and a cracked copy of underground 1,2 and mw2005 but the installations were kinda messed up because the burnt discs were scratched and the disc drive was dying in general. also the games ran at 10-20 fps max, but since i never experienced anything else i just thought thats te way the games play lmao. My grandpa heard i love the nfs series after the whole nitro thing and bought me undercover PC version, i think in 2008 when it was brand new or 2009, not sure. the laptop literally played the intro scene on the highway at about 3 seconds per frame, i wasnt sure if i was watching a cinematic or actually playing. had to wait until 2013 when i got another laptop to make use of the copy lmao
Thank you so much for sharing that, I always tell people that things like this is the best part of this channel so far. I can feel the nostalgia just by reading that. But I definitely understand you on the PC part, I had a crappy PC that I always tried running games that definitely didn't run on it, including Bully, to which I even had to get a weird DLL to make the game think I had a graphics card lol
Last years i was getting gaming smartphone for present, and i playee MW gamecube version. My phone played game better than my original Pc when game was new.
@@ReplicantBattyman yeah my family including me moved from finland to germany in 2012 and my dad immediately got about 3x his old salary while our living costs stayed the same. when we heard we were going to a whole new country i was kinda hesitant so my parents promised to buy me a ps3 (which obviously was enough to convince 8yo me) Like 2nd day in germany we went to a gamestop and bought a ps3 slim which came bundled with gran turismo 5 (great game) and little big planet 2 (even better). the wii wasnt touched for about 2 years lol :( but it will always hold a special place in my heart. from my pocket money i sometimes bought pre-owned games like need for speed the run or old sports games for 5-15€. but to be honest, to this day i have never played the split/second game, ig thats kinda on my backlog lmao. i just remember so vividly standing in that gamestop as a little kid and watching some teenagers (or adults, not sure anymore) playing the demo on the kiosk and thinking how "cool" they are for playing a "real" game, not just a wii one
Its interesting how i can be so related with someone so far from my country (i'm from Costa Rica) that have a similar experience like mine with this game, i had a Wii as a first console ever back in 2010, i already played with my step brother's PS2 but i didn't live with him, so we rarely played together, back in the day i didn't know anything about game consoles, so i asked my mom a Wii for christmas gift, thinking that it was gonna be cheaper than a Ps3 (what a mistake lol) so... i only had the games that comes with the wii, but i also wanted to have a racing game, and as i already had played NFS most wanted in my stepbro's PS2, i also wanted that game for my Wii, so asked my mom to buy me a Need For Speed game for my birthday, so she gave money to one of her coworkers to buy a NFS game in one of his regular trips to the U.S as is was gonna be cheaper there than in my country, 2 weeks later the game finally comes, and it was so dissapointed that the game wasn't NSF Most Wanted but instead it was NSF Nitro, back in the day we had a very small TV in which i had to played so close to it for get focused in the race, playing with the Wii co ntroller as a stering wheel lol, besides that, i really enjoyed the game and it introduced me to new music like Tony Hawk's games did in the PS2, at least things have changed so much and now i am better and happy to play a lot of games. greatings from Costa Rica!
Listen man I can see all the reasons why it's bad (and holy crap those stereotypes are killing me). But the game was so freaking goofy and dramatic (not to mention one of the only few games our father played with us) we managed to 100% the game and master everything. It's funny how your perception on what makes a good or bad game changes when you grow up. Would I play it again willingly? Nah but it made some great memories. Thanks for the banger video bro!
This game was one of my most played games on my wii back in the day. I used to have so much fun with it but I’m not sure how I’d feel about it now that I’m much older. But I appreciate it for doing something at least different than the rest of the games.
Need for speed nitro is one of my favorite nfs games. ever since I was little i remembered this game making me happy and i always had a thing for thingo's 69 charger i used to picture my self in this game racing. other people might say different but I say this is one of the best nfs games ever.
i remember playing this one the wii. The wii only has two actually decent racing games: mariokart wii and gt pro series (direct port of the gamecube version)
Nitro was the First NFS i got for the Wii. Before That i only played NFS Porsche and Underground 2. I actually f***** cried as a Child when i saw what garbage i spend the little money i had on. 20€ where a lot for me back Then.
I love this game. It's weird for a Need For Speed game, but that's what makes it so unique compared to the typical "realistic" driving games that all look the same...
Man, growing up poor in a 3rd world country I got really lucky and my family won a hot wheels raffle for a Wii all because my young self wanted to have like a 15 dollar set that came with a signup voucher at the time. I also like many people only had Wii sports until I moved to the US. One of the first games I ever got here for like 10 dollars in GameStop was this game and as a child it made me fascinated with Driving and I believe it’s a huge influence on why I enjoy it so much I played this game for hours on end giving me countless memories. I’m very glad to see people had similar experiences in their childhood with this game
NFS the run is the best NFS ever , but many people hate it because they are focusing on the on the open world and many customizations and didn’t focus on the real action in the game and the amazing racing mode because unfortunately most of people are not a real racers
i got this game for easter one year when i was little and even my 5 year old brain looking at the boxart for this game thought "this is not need for speed.."
Didn't see my comment on the comment scroll but suffice to say, I'm glad you are still looking at bad NFS games, also your spiderman videos are very cool, keep making those.
This game's soundtrack is great, with artists and bands like Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, Matt and Kim, Alex Metric, Major Lazer and El-P, too bad such a great soundtrack was wasted in such an underwhelming game
Glad to see this game getting more attention! I'm totally biased cause I played it as a kid, but appreciate a fresh take on it. I will say it plays a million times better with a Wii remote
The only things I remember from nitro are: 1. Pressing drift turned the game into an autoscroller, it completes the turn for you 2. The cars looked so cool ehen I was 14
Na verdade eu joguei bastante esse jogo e gosto muito. Zerei ele em 2022. O drift não e confuso, é que estamos acostumados a segurar o freio. Você precisa apenas dar um toque nele e inclinar o carro para a direção do drift. Se inclinar uma diagonal ele vai derrapar menos e ficará mais rápido mas é ruim na curva e se jogar para o lado ele vai virar mais e derrapar mais. E dai vem a segunda mais importante dinâmica do jogo. A primeira é o nitro (que depende diretamente do drift). Você tem duas barras de nitro que enchem a medida que faz manobras de estilo. como correr no vácuo do adversário saltar em velocidade ou, Derrapar. que é a que você mais vai fazer no jogo e a que você tem mais controle. A mecânica de quebrar o carro é bem interessante e estratégica. Pois as pistas do jogo tem curvas muito desafiadoras e pistas estreitas. as vezes acumulam corredores e você pode bater fácil neles ou nas paredes principalmente quando usa os dois nitros de uma vez só. E logo seu carro pode quebrar. então ter um item chave pode te salvar. pois o carro quebrado perde a capacidade de carregar nitro até ser reparado. Isso é muito estratégico também pois o outro item do jogo é o que chama a polícia. Pode vir de 1 até 5 carros contra você te batendo e atrasando (o primeiro corredor sempre terá pelo menos 2 carros atrás dele). Os pontos de estilo servem para dar estrelas que são como desafios de cada evento. Cada corrida tem 5 estrelas. Uma para cada lugar no pódio.(O terceiro rende uma o segundo outro e o primeiro outra) Uma estrela por bater o numero de pontos de estilo mínimo atingido. (essa costuma se ganhar mais derrapando para fazer pontos) e uma por vencer a menor volta da corrida) As minhas críticas ao jogo ficam por cargo de ter poucas cenas dos corredores, poderia ter uma cena de derrota deles. ou aparecer uma telinha deles falando ou te zoando durante a corrida final de cada área que nem no need for speed carbon. E podiam pelo menos ter mais umas 5 pistas pelo menos. 2 para cada país é muito pouco. As opções de carros são boas e ter A kombi e o fusquinha no Brasil é bem legal. Apesar dos carros poderem ser um pouquinho mais modelados. A impressão que eu tenho é que a imagem tem um afunilamento de perspectiva, então sempre fica uma sensação de que eles estão um pouco distorcidos como se o jogo estivesse sendo transmitido com uma lente grande angular. Mas fica bonito o efeito em alta velocidade. As musicas são muito boas apesar de não ter nada local de cada pais. Eu sonho com uma continuação digna para este jogo. ele é muito competente e sólido no gameplay. Apesar de ser um pouco repetitivo as provas dão uma sobre vida para ele. Conseguir as estrelas é um grande desafio, que fica menos duro pois repetir as mesmas pistas tantas vezes te deixa bem treinado. A mesma sensação que eu tive ao jogar need for speed Underground 1 que tem muita repetição de pistas também. A nota para este jogo é um sólido 8. Espero que um dia façam uma continuação. talvez pudesse ser retrabalhado e lançado no Switch que não tem muitos jogos de corrida.
I dunno, I actually kinda liked this game. I thought it was a very refreshing experience after many very similar games. And especially after the disaster that was NFS Undercover. This was a very unique game, I think it does its job well. Also side note the Shift games are very underrated.
Undercover was only a disaster on the PS2/Wii, because those consoles were outdated and terribly underpowered in 2008. On PC and current gen consoles it was the first HD Need for Speed and looked and played gorgeous! Nitro, on the other hand didn't feel like Need for Speed at all. I can see why people would have enjoyed it who were still children when it came out.
@@LRM12o8nah Undercover on PS3 and PC still sucks, story is boring, handling is strange, campaign is boring, customization is worse, and the graphics are awful, the bloom is unbearable. Undercover just sucks.
@@Mr.Midnight06I could argue that Undercover was a great game, the PS3 version was impossible for me to play though, I'm like 40% into the game and I can't even unlock pro package parts, tier 2 nor tier 1 cars
The studio realized that going for realistic graphics had two major downsides, it wasn't that possible on the wii, and believe it or not, they weren't given a good budget, and realistic graphics were out of the question. Stylized graphics were the way to go. I happen to really like this game, I just wish it could have had a AAA budget instead of EA's famous pitiful budget they throw to port games/dev new games to lower end consoles that they know wouldn't be able to be ported.
"It wasn't that possible on the Wii" Gamecube can do it and it's a weaker Wii. Hell, PS2 can do it and it's overall weaker than the Gamecube, which is weaker than the Wii. It's because the budget, not that Wii can't provide OK looking realistic looking graphics.
@@ZX3000GT1 It was what the ps3 and xbox 360 was putting out that the wii couldn't cough out, if I'm not mistaken, this was when Hot Pursuit came out for those respective consoles. Remember, the wii *is* a souped up Gamecube internally, which is why it had 1:1 backwards compatibility. The studio decided to make a new game recycling old stuff along with putting a creative twist on it rather than choosing to make a watered down version of Hot Pursuit, which I thought to be a really good choice. What I meant, without going on a tangent, is that the wii couldn't keep up with the generation it was in with raw silicon power, and a watered down version of arguably the best need for speed game of them all would not sell to good reception.
@@e-money9251 Well, if Gran Turismo 4 can be achieved on PS2, there's no reason why can't Wii do the same. And GT4 manages to look quite realistic. Sure, not on the same level as PS3 realism, but it's still look quite realistic. If he meant PS3/360 graphics, that means he's talking about HD resolutions, which Wii indeed could not achieve (although going back to GT4, that game has 1080i interpolated output through component cables on PS2).

I've been getting back to the old racing games I used to play as a kid. Adored Carbon, The Run, and I tried the PS3 Undercover (But I gave up due to the rubberbanding and how AI will crash you when you cant do anything back.) There is another game that has a similar issue, however. Motorstorm. I remembered loving this game, but when I got back to it the rubberbanding got worse and worse as you played the races.
honestly as a kid i had a lot of fun with nitro on the nintendo ds and i say that having played underground thru carbon religiously. graphics were inoffensive for the system, the soundtrack is super underrated, it plays pretty tight too (not sure how much of this is the nostalgia as i haven't picked it up in over 10 years). only gripe for me was in the amount and variety of content.
2:37 Is that a reference to Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005)? In that game, the Volkswagen Golf was locked out aswell. You could only buy it at the start of Career Mode if you had a save from a previous game on your Memory Card/PC.
This may be the worst, but what are your thoughts on the newest one? Unbound, that is. I'm having an absolute blast with it, it's in my top 3 NFS games
@@BlooTeg I was skeptical about the driving effects at first but they REALLY grew on me, and what you said about the music is definitely true. I gave it a fair shot, but I now play with my own music playing instead
Played this as a kid, really enjoyed it along with other Need For Speed Wii ports like Carbon Undercover, and Hot Pursuit (which was a reskinned Nitro with lots of potential). Unfortunately the disc got badly scratched and I think my Wii has too much dust buildup to work properly after 12 years of neglect, wish this game was better preserved by the community but it’s nigh-forgotten by most :(

1:28 I just spent 3 minutes laughing like an idiot at the mall & the security guard looks at me with a grin on his face hehehe. But yeah, I’m so glad that I never touched this game lol
Another good video! I got this game when it was new and I ain't played it on my Wii in a very long time, but I don't remember having a good experience with the drifting in this game and I think I got frustrated with one of the drifting challenges and gave up on it. I always found it kind of weird how they have that guy talking in the tutorial, yet to my knowledge that's the only time the game even has voice acting. I kind of liked this game at first, but overtime I lost interest in it and maybe it's my age, but I don't really like the cartoony theme looking back now. I'm glad other people enjoyed this game because I didn't care too much for it. Must admit, when Unbound came out, I got a lot of NFS Nitro vibes from it and despite how I felt about Nitro, I actually want to play that one someday.

Mind you the wii is a suped up version of the game cube so basically they went with a cartoony art style to save on memory and the game controlled like crap with the GameCube controller because it was meant to be played with the regular wiimote they probably did the other controls later in the game development and it didn’t have that much development time either so that’s why It played like crap because most development went into NSF Shift even though a different development team worked on it
I noticed that EA in those days started making more cartoonish games (Facebreaker, FIFA Street 3, this one) with some obscure ass bands and artists on the soundtrack.

Bro this game was such a nostalgic memory for me. Growing up with this need for speed was amazing. The tracks, the cars, the music and sounds (the skyline is my favorite sounding, along with the zonda r) and the overall gameplay really made this game unique among the others. And even though this game was pretty goofy and very different from the main formula, I think that was the point when the devs were making the game (Perhaps also because it was made by EA Montreal and not EA America). And yea the characters were stereotypical but it was a different time back then in my opinion. But other than that, it’s a great Mario-kart like racer with elements that make it a hardcore racing game (well not completely but somewhat). Also for the car editing, I’d recommend just using the wii remote if you’re gonna add vinyls to the car. Works much better than a control stick when you can point to specific parts of the car.
As a born Paraguayan (but mostly grown up in Canada) the beetle (or fuuki [foo-key] as my family calls it) was also very close to us. My dad owned something like 7 of them before we moved to Canada. Hope to one day own one myself.
Oh wow! That's really cool, I hope you do! Such a classic!
Fusca mate? Lol
@@heisenberg9861 sorry what?
@@carston101 the VW beetle in both paraguay and Brazil are called the "Fusca" haha, I used to call it the ant as a kid 😂
@@heisenberg9861 ah, maybe because my family is German we called it differently lol. The spelling of how I said it might be wrong, low German spelling is weird for me, but the way I broke it down (foo-key) is the exact way we pronounce it.
I don't really like Nitro all that much, but I really enjoy the game's artstyle. I'll never understand the mindset that the artstyle is terrible _because_ it's cartoonish. I guess it's because us Need For Speed fans are used to literally every other NFS games having a realistic artstyle and aesthetic.
Yeah, it kinda sucks that they can't try anything different, but at the same time, if they screw it up everyone has to wait 2 years
I'm split and it's hard to trust EA these days :(
@owo same man :(
And now we have NFS Unbound
I mean there’s a such thing as an ugly art style. This game has the same art style as the movie Foodfight. Meanwhile Unbound gets unwarranted hate
@@DefNotMyBurner True. I guess it comes down to personal preference, but it really feels like this game's artstyle gets a bit of a bad rep because it's so different compared to other NFS.
Acho que todos Brasileiros concordam que deveriam adicionar um uno com escada nos need for speed

Really random story but feels nice to "get off my chest"
My family grew up very poor and buying a used Wii from a flea market around 2010 with a no-name CRT TV was a big deal for my family and something which i remember very fondly. In the beginning we only had the wii sports game (i played almost exclusively tennis, my dad loved golf tho). But after some months and enough nagging we sometimes bought games you would literally find for 5€ in the supermarket bargain bin (like ford off road racing or littlest pet shop friends). I dont remember exactly why but for this game me and my dad took the bus to the city centre (I was like 7 yo) and we bought it from a gamestop (probably pre-owned). I dont know how much exactly it was but even i "acknowledged" that it was a lot of money for my dad at the time. I also remember there was a demo kiosk of blur and the split/second game and i always "dreamt" of having a 360/ps3 and games with graphics like that. But anyways i was absolutely exctatic about NFS Nitro and i spent most of my 1st grader life playing the game. The first day i had the game, my family went to get groceries and i would call them and update them on my progress 😂😂
My dad had to move away from the country because of work and my mom was always working very late shifts while my sister was at kindergarden, so i walk home from school, make myself a sandwich and just vibe on this game for hours on end waiting for my mom and sister to come home. Always felt kinda "adult" like for a 7yo but thats pretty normal in finland ig. Back then ofc i thought the characters in the cinematics were really cool, and having never visited any other country ever it really filled in the stereotypes lol.
In hindsight, it really isnt a great game but it did make me very happy as a child. I rarely went back to ford/landrover racing off road (5€ supermarket game) even though that wasnt bad either. I also had chrysler classic racing but even for my standards back then that game was literal ass, its hard to even find gameplay of it, it literally plays like a 99c steam asset flip game except on wii. On the weekends when my sister was home we would sometimes play wii sports or the littlest pet shop game, which is also really cute and honestly to this day holds up well as a kids game.
I did have a random acer windows xp laptop from around 2003 as a pass-me-down from an aunt of mine and a cracked copy of underground 1,2 and mw2005 but the installations were kinda messed up because the burnt discs were scratched and the disc drive was dying in general. also the games ran at 10-20 fps max, but since i never experienced anything else i just thought thats te way the games play lmao. My grandpa heard i love the nfs series after the whole nitro thing and bought me undercover PC version, i think in 2008 when it was brand new or 2009, not sure. the laptop literally played the intro scene on the highway at about 3 seconds per frame, i wasnt sure if i was watching a cinematic or actually playing. had to wait until 2013 when i got another laptop to make use of the copy lmao
Thank you so much for sharing that, I always tell people that things like this is the best part of this channel so far. I can feel the nostalgia just by reading that.
But I definitely understand you on the PC part, I had a crappy PC that I always tried running games that definitely didn't run on it, including Bully, to which I even had to get a weird DLL to make the game think I had a graphics card lol
Last years i was getting gaming smartphone for present, and i playee MW gamecube version. My phone played game better than my original Pc when game was new.
Great story. Did you eventually get a chance to play those games you always wanted to as a kid? like the 360 and PC ones?
@@ReplicantBattyman yeah my family including me moved from finland to germany in 2012 and my dad immediately got about 3x his old salary while our living costs stayed the same. when we heard we were going to a whole new country i was kinda hesitant so my parents promised to buy me a ps3 (which obviously was enough to convince 8yo me) Like 2nd day in germany we went to a gamestop and bought a ps3 slim which came bundled with gran turismo 5 (great game) and little big planet 2 (even better). the wii wasnt touched for about 2 years lol :( but it will always hold a special place in my heart. from my pocket money i sometimes bought pre-owned games like need for speed the run or old sports games for 5-15€. but to be honest, to this day i have never played the split/second game, ig thats kinda on my backlog lmao. i just remember so vividly standing in that gamestop as a little kid and watching some teenagers (or adults, not sure anymore) playing the demo on the kiosk and thinking how "cool" they are for playing a "real" game, not just a wii one
Its interesting how i can be so related with someone so far from my country (i'm from Costa Rica) that have a similar experience like mine with this game, i had a Wii as a first console ever back in 2010, i already played with my step brother's PS2 but i didn't live with him, so we rarely played together, back in the day i didn't know anything about game consoles, so i asked my mom a Wii for christmas gift, thinking that it was gonna be cheaper than a Ps3 (what a mistake lol) so... i only had the games that comes with the wii, but i also wanted to have a racing game, and as i already had played NFS most wanted in my stepbro's PS2, i also wanted that game for my Wii, so asked my mom to buy me a Need For Speed game for my birthday, so she gave money to one of her coworkers to buy a NFS game in one of his regular trips to the U.S as is was gonna be cheaper there than in my country, 2 weeks later the game finally comes, and it was so dissapointed that the game wasn't NSF Most Wanted but instead it was NSF Nitro, back in the day we had a very small TV in which i had to played so close to it for get focused in the race, playing with the Wii co ntroller as a stering wheel lol, besides that, i really enjoyed the game and it introduced me to new music like Tony Hawk's games did in the PS2, at least things have changed so much and now i am better and happy to play a lot of games. greatings from Costa Rica!
It's interesting how The Worst NFS has the Best Cars Sounds in it's Franchise

Are you a tourist? Do you have any cash?
Listen man I can see all the reasons why it's bad (and holy crap those stereotypes are killing me). But the game was so freaking goofy and dramatic (not to mention one of the only few games our father played with us) we managed to 100% the game and master everything.
It's funny how your perception on what makes a good or bad game changes when you grow up.
Would I play it again willingly? Nah but it made some great memories.
Thanks for the banger video bro!
Glad you enjoyed! It was definitely fun to play it ( in it's own way )

Jawad's intro is heat honestly 😂😂
This game was one of my most played games on my wii back in the day. I used to have so much fun with it but I’m not sure how I’d feel about it now that I’m much older. But I appreciate it for doing something at least different than the rest of the games.
If the main character was a real Brazilian, he'd have a Volkswagen hatchback. Not a chop top muscle car.
Need for speed nitro is one of my favorite nfs games. ever since I was little i remembered this game making me happy and i always had a thing for thingo's 69 charger i used to picture my self in this game racing. other people might say different but I say this is one of the best nfs games ever.
hey, if you like it, you like it, no shame in that! We're just here to have fun
i remember playing this one the wii. The wii only has two actually decent racing games: mariokart wii and gt pro series (direct port of the gamecube version)
Mario Kart Wii was indeed pretty good
@@BlooTeg still have thy wii and mario kart
My brother in christ, you don't know what true anguish is like until you try NFS most wanted DS 💀💀💀

Nitro was the First NFS i got for the Wii. Before That i only played NFS Porsche and Underground 2.
I actually f***** cried as a Child when i saw what garbage i spend the little money i had on. 20€ where a lot for me back Then.
holy crap that took a sad turn
@@BlooTeg but the story has a small Happy End. I Finally got a decently paid job and now i am hunting down every Single game i wanted as a child
I love this game. It's weird for a Need For Speed game, but that's what makes it so unique compared to the typical "realistic" driving games that all look the same...
Man, growing up poor in a 3rd world country I got really lucky and my family won a hot wheels raffle for a Wii all because my young self wanted to have like a 15 dollar set that came with a signup voucher at the time. I also like many people only had Wii sports until I moved to the US. One of the first games I ever got here for like 10 dollars in GameStop was this game and as a child it made me fascinated with Driving and I believe it’s a huge influence on why I enjoy it so much I played this game for hours on end giving me countless memories. I’m very glad to see people had similar experiences in their childhood with this game
Despite not being a real NFS, The Run is an hidden gem. Idk about the Wii version but i had a lot of fun playing it on the PS3
I think only played it once a long time ago, I have to get that one again
NFS the run is the best NFS ever , but many people hate it because they are focusing on the on the open world and many customizations and didn’t focus on the real action in the game and the amazing racing mode because unfortunately most of people are not a real racers
and i did on the wii
@@eaglaxle don't exaggerate, it is surely a fun experience but it's nowhere near a true NFS game
It was on 3DS too i think
i got this game for easter one year when i was little and even my 5 year old brain looking at the boxart for this game thought "this is not need for speed.."
I used to love this game. This, of all things, was part of my childhood
Nice. It definitely seems like a game that sticks to you if you play it as a kid
@@BlooTeg yes
I bought this from my own money, when I was like 10, and I played 4 times at most until today. I also had Undercover for the Wii, wich i love.
Didn't see my comment on the comment scroll but suffice to say, I'm glad you are still looking at bad NFS games, also your spiderman videos are very cool, keep making those.
thank you for being around! I'll keep working on those for sure!
There's also the Wii version of Hot Pursuit 2010 which is literally Nitro but worse from what I saw so far.
I'm on it!
I seen gameplay of it. It looks like shit
and don't forget the Wii version of NFS The Run, which is also pretty bad to my knowledge.
@@ArbitraryOutcome yeah I didn't forget I was talking about that earlier
@@ArbitraryOutcome I have the 3DS port of that version. It does chug at points considering the handheld's weaker specs versus the GameCube.
This is the first Video of you that i have seen, but it was fun to watch !
Keep going and always have fun with what you are doing
Thank you so much! It's been extremely fun for sure!
This game's soundtrack is great, with artists and bands like Rise Against, Taking Back Sunday, Matt and Kim, Alex Metric, Major Lazer and El-P, too bad such a great soundtrack was wasted in such an underwhelming game
You've unlocked a core memory of mine, this was my childhood, and I didn't even realize it was a Need for Speed game
Glad to see this game getting more attention! I'm totally biased cause I played it as a kid, but appreciate a fresh take on it. I will say it plays a million times better with a Wii remote
That's interesting, if I ever get a wii controller I'm definitely checking that out again!
I remember playing this on the Wii and was like “wtf is this” 💀
The only things I remember from nitro are:
1. Pressing drift turned the game into an autoscroller, it completes the turn for you
2. The cars looked so cool ehen I was 14
Hey, i still think the cars are cool, even when they look like Hot Wheels Cars
It was also on the nintendo ds. and like all DS ports, it is essentially a roblox copy without cutscenes.
*uploaded 34 seconds ago* My mouse never went zoom so suddenly before.
mr halo himself on my comment section
NFS Payback: Allow me to introduce ourselves
Na verdade eu joguei bastante esse jogo e gosto muito. Zerei ele em 2022.
O drift não e confuso, é que estamos acostumados a segurar o freio. Você precisa apenas dar um toque nele e inclinar o carro para a direção do drift. Se inclinar uma diagonal ele vai derrapar menos e ficará mais rápido mas é ruim na curva e se jogar para o lado ele vai virar mais e derrapar mais. E dai vem a segunda mais importante dinâmica do jogo.
A primeira é o nitro (que depende diretamente do drift). Você tem duas barras de nitro que enchem a medida que faz manobras de estilo. como correr no vácuo do adversário saltar em velocidade ou, Derrapar. que é a que você mais vai fazer no jogo e a que você tem mais controle. A mecânica de quebrar o carro é bem interessante e estratégica. Pois as pistas do jogo tem curvas muito desafiadoras e pistas estreitas. as vezes acumulam corredores e você pode bater fácil neles ou nas paredes principalmente quando usa os dois nitros de uma vez só. E logo seu carro pode quebrar. então ter um item chave pode te salvar. pois o carro quebrado perde a capacidade de carregar nitro até ser reparado. Isso é muito estratégico também pois o outro item do jogo é o que chama a polícia. Pode vir de 1 até 5 carros contra você te batendo e atrasando (o primeiro corredor sempre terá pelo menos 2 carros atrás dele).
Os pontos de estilo servem para dar estrelas que são como desafios de cada evento. Cada corrida tem 5 estrelas. Uma para cada lugar no pódio.(O terceiro rende uma o segundo outro e o primeiro outra) Uma estrela por bater o numero de pontos de estilo mínimo atingido. (essa costuma se ganhar mais derrapando para fazer pontos) e uma por vencer a menor volta da corrida)
As minhas críticas ao jogo ficam por cargo de ter poucas cenas dos corredores, poderia ter uma cena de derrota deles. ou aparecer uma telinha deles falando ou te zoando durante a corrida final de cada área que nem no need for speed carbon. E podiam pelo menos ter mais umas 5 pistas pelo menos. 2 para cada país é muito pouco. As opções de carros são boas e ter A kombi e o fusquinha no Brasil é bem legal. Apesar dos carros poderem ser um pouquinho mais modelados. A impressão que eu tenho é que a imagem tem um afunilamento de perspectiva, então sempre fica uma sensação de que eles estão um pouco distorcidos como se o jogo estivesse sendo transmitido com uma lente grande angular. Mas fica bonito o efeito em alta velocidade.
As musicas são muito boas apesar de não ter nada local de cada pais. Eu sonho com uma continuação digna para este jogo. ele é muito competente e sólido no gameplay. Apesar de ser um pouco repetitivo as provas dão uma sobre vida para ele. Conseguir as estrelas é um grande desafio, que fica menos duro pois repetir as mesmas pistas tantas vezes te deixa bem treinado. A mesma sensação que eu tive ao jogar need for speed Underground 1 que tem muita repetição de pistas também. A nota para este jogo é um sólido 8. Espero que um dia façam uma continuação. talvez pudesse ser retrabalhado e lançado no Switch que não tem muitos jogos de corrida.
I just remember playing this once and thinking, huh, this is a weird hot pursuit port, and since then i never actually thought about it till this day
I dunno, I actually kinda liked this game. I thought it was a very refreshing experience after many very similar games. And especially after the disaster that was NFS Undercover. This was a very unique game, I think it does its job well.
Also side note the Shift games are very underrated.
Hey, I like Nicktoons Racing for the PS1, I don't judge anyone by the games they like. Most of the time.
Undercover was only a disaster on the PS2/Wii, because those consoles were outdated and terribly underpowered in 2008. On PC and current gen consoles it was the first HD Need for Speed and looked and played gorgeous!
Nitro, on the other hand didn't feel like Need for Speed at all. I can see why people would have enjoyed it who were still children when it came out.
@@LRM12o8nah Undercover on PS3 and PC still sucks, story is boring, handling is strange, campaign is boring, customization is worse, and the graphics are awful, the bloom is unbearable. Undercover just sucks.
@@Mr.Midnight06I could argue that Undercover was a great game, the PS3 version was impossible for me to play though, I'm like 40% into the game and I can't even unlock pro package parts, tier 2 nor tier 1 cars
The soundtrack is like going to the Slavic region with no hard bass comrade
*I NEED IT IN JUST A SINGLE DECENT RACING GAME! PLEASE GOD PLEASE*
The studio realized that going for realistic graphics had two major downsides, it wasn't that possible on the wii, and believe it or not, they weren't given a good budget, and realistic graphics were out of the question. Stylized graphics were the way to go. I happen to really like this game, I just wish it could have had a AAA budget instead of EA's famous pitiful budget they throw to port games/dev new games to lower end consoles that they know wouldn't be able to be ported.
I'd really like to see how that! I think the closest we got to it is unbound but it's still not even close
"It wasn't that possible on the Wii"
Gamecube can do it and it's a weaker Wii. Hell, PS2 can do it and it's overall weaker than the Gamecube, which is weaker than the Wii.
It's because the budget, not that Wii can't provide OK looking realistic looking graphics.
@@ZX3000GT1 It was what the ps3 and xbox 360 was putting out that the wii couldn't cough out, if I'm not mistaken, this was when Hot Pursuit came out for those respective consoles. Remember, the wii *is* a souped up Gamecube internally, which is why it had 1:1 backwards compatibility. The studio decided to make a new game recycling old stuff along with putting a creative twist on it rather than choosing to make a watered down version of Hot Pursuit, which I thought to be a really good choice. What I meant, without going on a tangent, is that the wii couldn't keep up with the generation it was in with raw silicon power, and a watered down version of arguably the best need for speed game of them all would not sell to good reception.
@@ZX3000GT1 what he meant with realistic graphics is ps3 and xbox 360 graphics and of course it’s impossible with the wii
@@e-money9251 Well, if Gran Turismo 4 can be achieved on PS2, there's no reason why can't Wii do the same.
And GT4 manages to look quite realistic. Sure, not on the same level as PS3 realism, but it's still look quite realistic.
If he meant PS3/360 graphics, that means he's talking about HD resolutions, which Wii indeed could not achieve (although going back to GT4, that game has 1080i interpolated output through component cables on PS2).

I've been getting back to the old racing games I used to play as a kid. Adored Carbon, The Run, and I tried the PS3 Undercover (But I gave up due to the rubberbanding and how AI will crash you when you cant do anything back.)
There is another game that has a similar issue, however. Motorstorm. I remembered loving this game, but when I got back to it the rubberbanding got worse and worse as you played the races.
Never played that one, though people say it's great!

honestly as a kid i had a lot of fun with nitro on the nintendo ds and i say that having played underground thru carbon religiously. graphics were inoffensive for the system, the soundtrack is super underrated, it plays pretty tight too (not sure how much of this is the nostalgia as i haven't picked it up in over 10 years). only gripe for me was in the amount and variety of content.
I don't even remember this one because I've never bought a Wii. I guess I'm lucky to have missed out.
I played this monstrosity when I was younger...God I hated this 😂😂
my condolences
Fun fact: in the begging the background music is the same as JV is music in need for speed most wanted
i legit cried when i saw that type 2

Same.
What are you even saying that thing was fun, like just imagine killing corollas and camaros in a bus!
Is that the dream cash opening theme!? That's nostalgia on another level
I am Brazilian and I am White like 50% of the population but I never seen a white Brazilian in games

As a kid, my parents wouldnt ever let me get new games, so this game was something I played literally all the time on the wii
We have Need For Speed at home… RIP
Played this as a kid, really enjoyed it along with other Need For Speed Wii ports like Carbon Undercover, and Hot Pursuit (which was a reskinned Nitro with lots of potential).
Unfortunately the disc got badly scratched and I think my Wii has too much dust buildup to work properly after 12 years of neglect, wish this game was better preserved by the community but it’s nigh-forgotten by most :(
thanks for that ps1 intro. omg so much nostalgia came out of me unbelivable.

I mean...geeez..
I have memories of my childhood playing this on a wii. Feels like forever ago now that I have 3 generations of Xbox consoles
The only thing I can think aboht this game is
"That one Need For Speed with fat ass goofy cars"
"And a Brazilian character who plays soccer with his on flippers"
Anyone else remember playing the stripped down version from the nintende dsi shop?
Dannnng unbound looking slick af 🤣🤣🤣🤣 All jokes aside drifting looks the same 🤣😂😂☠️

But yeah, I’m so glad that I never touched this game lol
proud of that one
Actually, the Brasilian guy is pretty accurate. My sister's ex-husband is exactly like the guy, except speaking English and good at football.
Another good video! I got this game when it was new and I ain't played it on my Wii in a very long time, but I don't remember having a good experience with the drifting in this game and I think I got frustrated with one of the drifting challenges and gave up on it. I always found it kind of weird how they have that guy talking in the tutorial, yet to my knowledge that's the only time the game even has voice acting. I kind of liked this game at first, but overtime I lost interest in it and maybe it's my age, but I don't really like the cartoony theme looking back now. I'm glad other people enjoyed this game because I didn't care too much for it.
Must admit, when Unbound came out, I got a lot of NFS Nitro vibes from it and despite how I felt about Nitro, I actually want to play that one someday.
2:40
I remember when I was going with my mom to visit my grandma and we straight up found a beetle painted like Herbie parked on the way there.

You know, these tooned cars from NFS nitro looks like they’re from Hot Wheels Tooned cars.
you missed my favorite part, when playing co-op on elimination races you get to play as the police if you get knocked out before the race ends.
I don't have any friends
Mind you the wii is a suped up version of the game cube so basically they went with a cartoony art style to save on memory and the game controlled like crap with the GameCube controller because it was meant to be played with the regular wiimote they probably did the other controls later in the game development and it didn’t have that much development time either so that’s why It played like crap because most development went into NSF Shift even though a different development team worked on it
I noticed that EA in those days started making more cartoonish games (Facebreaker, FIFA Street 3, this one) with some obscure ass bands and artists on the soundtrack.
EA doing budget games and selling them full-price? Now that's unexpected
