Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games!

007 Quantum of Solace for Nintendo Wii
007 Quantum of Solace for Nintendo Wii is an action game following James Bond through events from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Daniel Craig's portrayal of the secret agent forms the basis for the protagonist. You explore locations from the films and fight guards with firearms, stealth attacks and close combat. The story takes you through successive missions alternating pursuits and confrontations, without requiring you to travel across an open world.
While moving and aiming, you usually see through Bond's eyes. When you take cover, the view shifts to third person, showing him sheltering behind a wall or object. From this position, you assess where opponents are and when you can move to the next safe spot. You can approach a situation cautiously, but a failed stealth attack can also turn into a firefight. Your position and the moment you emerge then determine how much risk you take.
You play the campaign alone with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. You aim with the pointer while moving Bond through the environment yourself. The Wii version also offers local split-screen matches for up to four players; each participant needs their own Wii Remote and Nunchuk. The online component is not offered as a functioning feature. This release follows the shooter design with separate cover, not the different campaign developed for PlayStation 2.
Region and language
Our Nintendo Wii games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
007 Quantum of Solace for Nintendo Wii includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of 007 Quantum of Solace
Activision released 007 Quantum of Solace in Europe on 31 October 2008. Beenox handled the Wii version, while Treyarch developed the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. That division between studios matters: the same product name also appeared on systems with a different game design. On Wii, it remained a shooter combining the usual first-person view with a third-person camera behind cover. The new controls were added to events drawn from two Bond films.
It was the first Bond game for these consoles to centre on Daniel Craig's portrayal of the agent. The developers incorporated not only the latest film but also returned to Casino Royale. This allowed events from Bond's earlier mission to become playable assignments. The technology built on the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, adapted for Bond's world. Silent takedowns and close combat were also intended to have a place alongside conventional shooting.
Local split screen distinguished the Wii release from the other home-console versions of Quantum of Solace. The story campaign remained a separate single-player experience. Two years later, GoldenEye 007 brought Daniel Craig’s Bond back to Wii with a reworked GoldenEye story. Quantum of Solace instead represents the direct adaptation of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Both films supplied situations, characters and locations for missions that do not always follow the films’ chronology.
Similar games for Nintendo Wii
GoldenEye 007 shares Daniel Craig’s Bond, pointer aiming and the option of approaching guards quietly on Wii. It rewrites GoldenEye’s story for a different Bond and era. Quantum of Solace draws its missions from two existing Craig films. Switching to a third-person view behind cover also gives those missions a different rhythm.
Modern Warfare – Reflex Edition also has you move through modern firefights on Wii with the remote as an aiming device. Its military story switches between soldiers and larger operations. Quantum of Solace stays with one secret agent and uses silent takedowns alongside open combat. Taking cover also changes Bond’s camera, letting you assess shelter from outside.
Call of Duty 3 also uses aiming and gestures to carry out scripted action objectives on Wii. Its setting is France in 1944, with Allied soldiers advancing together. Quantum of Solace moves the action to modern espionage and film stories. It also offers local split-screen matches, whereas the Wii version of Call of Duty 3 is exclusively single-player.
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 combines a secret-agent mission with the Second World War on Wii. Like Bond, you investigate enemy locations and use aiming and gestures to progress. Heroes 2 also offers an Arcade option that handles movement for you. Quantum of Solace has you move Bond yourself and alternate between shooting, silent attacks and waiting behind cover.
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition uses a pointer for precise shooting on Wii and follows a single protagonist. Leon remains visible in third person during play, however. His inventory and the tension of exploration shape much of the pace. Quantum of Solace changes its camera at cover and connects combat more closely to successive espionage missions drawn from the films.
