This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
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! Great news for the player.
Angry Birds Trilogy for Nintendo Wii
Angry Birds Trilogy for Nintendo Wii bundles Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio on one disc. In each level, you pull a bird back in the slingshot, choose a trajectory and release it to hit structures and targets. The original game concerns stolen eggs and green pigs, Seasons arranges levels around holidays and seasons, and Rio moves the birds to cages, monkeys and locations from the animated film. Together, the Wii edition offers more than seven hundred puzzles.
Each bird changes the approach. The blue bird splits, the yellow one speeds through wood, the black one explodes, and other birds turn back, drop eggs or inflate. Triggering their power at the right time determines how much material collapses and how many birds remain. Your score awards one to three stars per level. Hidden Golden Eggs, fruit from Rio and extra levels provide reasons to replay earlier puzzles and look for a more precise shot.
On Wii, you point the Wii Remote at the screen to pull back the slingshot and set the flight path. The television clearly shows the structures and reactions, while new animations and interactive backgrounds bring the three mobile games together. This edition is designed for one player and needs no online leaderboard or downloadable expansion. The complete collection, including levels added especially for Trilogy, is included on the Wii disc.
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.
Angry Birds Trilogy supports one player and is controlled with a Wii Remote. You use the pointer to pull back the slingshot, aim and activate a bird's special power. The complete collection is on the disc; a Nunchuk, internet connection or additional download is not required.
Manual
The manual is missing from this copy of Angry Birds Trilogy for Nintendo Wii. That is why the product title says “No Manual”. You receive the game in its box, without the instruction booklet. This makes the contents clear before you order.
The original printed manual usually contains at least English and often around six European languages. The languages vary by edition; Dutch is not always included. This information describes the original booklet and does not mean that it comes with this copy. A copy with a manual is offered separately when available.
The history of Angry Birds Trilogy
Rovio released the first Angry Birds for mobile devices in 2009. Its short physics puzzles quickly grew into a series with Seasons and the film tie-in Rio. Rovio, Exient Entertainment and Housemarque collaborated on the console versions of Angry Birds Trilogy, with Activision publishing them. The first editions appeared in September 2012 for Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with rebuilt visuals and controls.
The Wii and Wii U versions followed in August 2013. The developers included the three complete game themes, later level packs and exclusive puzzles, taking the collection beyond seven hundred levels. On Wii, the Wii Remote pointer replaced direct touch on a phone or tablet. This version did not receive the Wii U features for the GamePad screen and online leaderboards; those belong exclusively to the other Nintendo console.
Trilogy preserves a moment from the series' early history on a physical disc. Separate follow-ups such as Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds 2 appeared later, but are not part of this bundle. The three included games keep their own episodes, objectives and collectibles instead of forming one continuous campaign. Because all content runs locally, stars, Golden Eggs and progress remain playable without the mobile stores or network services on which the original apps once depended.
Similar games for Nintendo Wii
Angry Birds Star Wars uses the same slingshot physics, but replaces the three classic collections with Star Wars levels, characters and powers. Lightsabers, Force pushes and blasters change the puzzles, and local cooperative and competitive play are included. Trilogy contains many more classic levels from Angry Birds, Seasons and Rio, but remains entirely single-player on Wii.
Boom Blox Bash Party likewise uses the Wii pointer to dismantle structures and pursue points in physics challenges. There you throw at, pull and shoot three-dimensional blocks directly, and several players can cooperate or compete. Trilogy uses a fixed side view, a slingshot and bird abilities, with hundreds of short levels for one player.
World of Goo also revolves around physics and using a limited number of creatures as efficiently as possible. You build wobbly bridges and towers yourself to guide goo balls to a pipe, however. Angry Birds collapses existing structures with carefully chosen projectiles. Both support precise pointing with the Wii Remote, but World of Goo has a continuous chapter structure.
Worms: Battle Islands uses arcing shots, destructible environments and an array of weapons. The player controls teams in turn-based battles and accounts for wind, terrain and opponents. Trilogy gives every puzzle a prebuilt structure and a fixed order of birds; the objective is the highest possible score rather than a tactical team battle.
Rubik's Puzzle World collects many different brainteasers involving colours, shapes and spatial tasks, using Wii movements. Angry Birds Trilogy sticks to one clear physics foundation and varies the bird types, building materials and three themed worlds. Repetition is therefore about finding a better shot and earning three stars, not learning a new kind of puzzle every time.
