EA and Criterion Games have announced that Need for Speed Most Wanted is coming to Nintendo’s Wii U system.
Need for Speed Most Wanted unleashes gamers into a connected, open world where they race, chase and explore in the race to become king of the streets.
Need for Speed Most Wanted on the Wii U has been described as the “definitive version” of the game. The game utilises three unique features of the Wii U GamePad controller and includes all bonus content. The Wii U game makes the race to become Most Wanted more fun and social than ever before.
Need for Speed introduces an all new local co-op mode, Co-Driver where one player drives using the Wii Remote controller or Wii U Pro Controller, and another player uses the Wii U GamePad to provide control and navigation assistance on a fully interactive real-time map. Gamers can also add another competitive edge where players can change their mods, switch into their favourite cars, track milestones and uncover the city’s hidden gems, all with the Wii U touch screen.
Finally, Need for Speed Most Wanted on Wii U brings the blockbuster action of the open world racer to players’ fingertips. The entire game is playable off-screen using the Wii U GamePad, so gamers can play the game anywhere without a T.V.
Need for Speed Most Wanted on Wii U includes the Ultimate Speed Pack, so players can take to the streets five of the fastest cars ever made: McLaren’s F1 LM, Lamborghini’s minimalist artwork, the Aventador J, the track-focused Pagani Zonda R, Bugatti’s reigning world speed champion, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse and Hennessey’s savage 275 mile-an-hour ragtop beast, the Venom GT Spyder .
Need for Speed Most Wanted lets gamers race against their friends. The game automatically tracks and compares best race times, high scores and more. These stats are broadcast throughout the open world, fueling friendly competition and rivalries. Autolog 2 alerts players every time they’re knocked off the top, reminding them to reclaim the top spot. Need for Speed Most Wanted’s online multiplayer also ups the ante for social competition.
Gamers can pick a car, meet up with their friends and are immersed in a non-stop playlist of action-packed events. Whether it’s competing for the best starting position, the ultimate jump, or finishing first place, if there’s something to do, there’s someone to beat. Any Speed Points earned on Wii U will add to your existing total if you are playing the game on any of the other available platforms.
Need for Speed Most Wanted for Wii U will be available March 19th in North America and for March 21st in Europe.
