What enhanced DSiWare edition of Need for Speed: Nitro was released in 2010?

The enhanced DSiWare edition of Need for Speed: Nitro was called Need for Speed: Nitro-X.

Nitro-X was an updated version of the Nintendo DS edition of Need for Speed: Nitro, released as a downloadable DSiWare title in 2010. It was designed exclusively for Nintendo DSi handhelds, so it was not simply a renamed Wii version or a conventional retail sequel.

The update added six new cars, refreshed 16 tracks from the original DS game, and introduced Super Pursuit. That mode let players take the role of police, expanding on Nitro’s arcade-style racing with a dedicated pursuit-focused experience. These additions distinguish Nitro-X from the standard Nintendo DS release.

The original Need for Speed: Nitro arrived in 2009 for Nintendo DS and Wii. It was unusual within the franchise because it was released exclusively on Nintendo platforms, while most Need for Speed games also appeared on PlayStation, Xbox, or personal computers. Nitro-X followed on November 15, 2010, in North America and November 26 in Europe. The “X” is part of the official title, not an abbreviation for a separate console edition.
