Nerf N-Strike Elite is a 2009 on-rails shoot 'em up for Nintendo Wii and sequel to the 2008 Nerf N-Strike. Like its predecessor, the game is bundled with one N-Strike Switch Shot EX-3. New to this game, however, is the "Red Reveal" decoder lens which is attached to the Switch Shot and, when the player looks through it, will display hidden game elements such as the weak points in enemy armor and reveals secret codes for accessing other content.{{cite news|title='An Elite' Nerf Game Available|date=5 December 2009|work=The Ledger|page=C9|location=Lakeland, Florida}}{{cite web|url=http://blastmagazine.com/the-magazine/gaming/reviews/wii/2009/11/nerf-n-strike-elite-review/|title=Nerf N-Strike Elite review|last=Normandin|first=Marc|date=11 November 2009|work=Blast Magazine|accessdate=17 December 2009}}{{cite web |last=Fahey |first=Mike |date=8 July 2009 |title=EA Re-NERFs The Wii |url=http://kotaku.com/5310004/ea-re+nerfs-the-wii |url-status= |accessdate=17 December 2009 |publisher=Kotaku}} This game is also compatible with the Wii Zapper.
