Check out EA's Wii-exclusive, silky-smooth street racer in motion...

This year, EA are hoping to revitalise the Need For Speed franchise and hark back to those glory days of arcade-racing joy. Part of that effort is the Wii-exclusive Need For Speed: Nitro for Wii and DS. Complete with super-deformed vehicles and ridiculous boosts, Nitro will hopefully return the franchise to its fun roots.

Here's two minutes of the Wii version for your viewing pleasure.
