Need For Speed: Most Wanted debuted to critical acclaim on the Wii U in March. While the series has been represented on Nintendo consoles before, Criterion gave the Wii U port special treatment, including replacing the 360/PS3 assets with higher-resolution PC textures and incorporating the DLC from other platforms playable from the start.
