Nerf N-Strike is a video game developed by EA Salt Lake and published by Electronic Arts[1] for the Wii. The game is a rail shooter 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.[2] Both games were compiled in the 2010 release Nerf N-Strike Double Blast Bundle.
