Need for Speed: Most Wanted Wii U SA release date confirmed

EA and Criterion have announced that the highly-rated Need for Speed: Most Wanted will arrive on Nintendo Wii U on 22 March 2013.

The game is hitting the finishing line a little later than its PS3, Xbox 360 and PC counterparts, but the Wii U version comes with a number of unique features.

A “co-op” mode allows a second user to be the driver’s navigator, by using the Wii U GamePad touch screen to activate car boosts and distract the cops.

The Wii U version also includes the Ultimate Speed Pack, so you’ll have access to the McLaren F1 LM, Lamborghini Aventador J, Pagani Zonda R, Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse and Hennessey and Venom GT Spyder.
