About

Nerf N-Strike is a video game developed by EA Salt Lake and published by Electronic Arts for the Wii. The game is a rail shooter played from a first-person perspective, and focuses on the Nerf line of toy dart blasters. It has an optional unique blaster for gameplay called the Nerf Switch Shot EX-3, that can either be used as a real Nerf blaster, or to play the video game. The game uses various blasters created in real life by Nerf.

A sequel, Nerf N-Strike Elite, was released a year later. Both games were compiled in the 2010 release Nerf N-Strike Double Blast Bundle.
