Summary
Tailored exclusively for the Wii U, Need for Speed Most Wanted U introduces gameplay designed to take full advantage of the Wii U GamePad’s distinctive features. The local co-op mode, known as Co-Driver, lets one player take the wheel using the Wii Remote or Wii U Pro Controller while the other uses the GamePad to offer real-time support through an interactive map. With just a few taps, the second player can divert police attention, toggle between day and night, boost vehicle performance, and even adjust traffic density on the roads. For an extra strategic advantage, players can instantly switch to their preferred car, monitor progress, discover secret locations, and more using the Wii U’s touch screen, ensuring they never lose momentum.
Need for Speed Most Wanted U delivers the high-octane, open-world racing experience directly to your hands. The entire game can be played using only the GamePad, allowing players to stay in control without ever needing to set the console down.
Need for Speed Most Wanted U also includes the Ultimate Speed Pack expansion, giving players access to some of the most extreme vehicles ever built: the rare McLaren F1 LM, the sculptural Lamborghini Aventador J, the race-tuned Pagani Zonda R, the speed-dominating Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, and the wild Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, a 275-mph open-top powerhouse.
With Need for Speed Most Wanted U, players finally face off against the competition they truly want to beat—each other. Powered by EA’s groundbreaking Autolog 2 technology, the game automatically logs and compares top race times, high scores, and more, displaying these stats across the game world to spark friendly rivalries and competitive spirit. The game’s online multiplayer mode heightens social competition even further. Players choose their car, connect with friends, and dive into a continuous stream of high-energy events. Whether it's securing the best starting spot, landing the highest jump, or crossing the finish line first, there's always a challenge and someone to outperform. Speed Points earned on the Wii U will contribute to your overall total if you play the game on any other supported platform via CloudCompete.
