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.
Avatar: De Legende van Aang for Nintendo Wii
Avatar: The Legend of Aang for Nintendo Wii tells a new adventure set between the first and second seasons of the animated series. Aang, Katara and Sokka investigate the disappearance of waterbender Hiryu and become involved in a conflict surrounding the inventor Lian. She builds machines that the Fire Nation uses to threaten several villages. Earthbender Haru joins during the journey, after which you travel through Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom territories with four different heroes.
You control one party member at a time from an angled overhead view and switch whenever a fight, passage or quest requires another skill. Aang uses his staff and airbending, Katara attacks with water, Sokka relies on his boomerang and Haru moves earth. Victories provide experience and new techniques. Armour, healing items, chi and accessories support the party, while artisans can turn collected resources into useful equipment.
The Wii version links special attacks and calligraphy tasks to Wii Remote movements. Villages contain conversations, side quests and hidden items; outside the settlements you encounter battles, simple environmental puzzles and bosses. The adventure is exclusively for one player and is stored entirely on the disc. No network features or additional downloads are needed. The focus is on combining the four characters, improving their skills and stopping Lian's mechanical army.
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.
Avatar: The Legend of Aang supports one player and uses a Wii Remote with Nunchuk. The motion sensor is used for special attacks and calligraphy actions. The complete campaign is stored on the Wii disc; network services, a memory card and additional accessories are not required.
Manual
Avatar: De Legende van Aang 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 Avatar: De Legende van Aang
THQ Studio Australia developed Avatar: The Last Airbender for home consoles, including Nintendo Wii. THQ released the Wii version in North America alongside the console in November 2006; the European edition followed in early 2007 under the title Avatar: The Legend of Aang. The various handheld versions were made by other studios and differ in design from this three-dimensional console release.
The creators did not choose a direct retelling of a television episode. The scenario involving Hiryu, Haru and Lian fills the period after Book One: Water, while Aang has not yet mastered every element. Familiar locations and characters are combined with an antagonist written especially for the game. The four playable heroes received separate attacks, equipment and experience, placing the licence within a light action role-playing structure.
On Wii, most content from the PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox versions was retained, but special actions were adapted to motion controls. The game received a direct sequel in 2007 with The Burning Earth, based on the second television season. Into the Inferno completed the trilogy in 2008 with events from the third season. This first instalment remains the only one of the three to feature Lian and a wholly original main story.
Similar games for Nintendo Wii
The Burning Earth builds on the same action-adventure foundation but follows recognisable events from the second television season and lets a second player join locally. Toph and Jet take larger roles and combat is more direct. The first Legend of Aang is entirely for one player, contains more equipment and experience, and tells a standalone story centred on Lian.
Into the Inferno covers Book Three: Fire and lets you actively pick up and guide elements in the environment with the Wii Remote. Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph and Zuko therefore solve more ability-based puzzles. The first game uses a higher camera angle, statistics and collectible equipment, with Haru rather than Toph or Zuko as the fourth party member.
Ben 10 likewise combines a Nickelodeon licence with linear levels, combat and changing powers. Ben transforms into alien forms on the spot, while Avatar lets you switch between four separate party members with their own equipment. Ben 10 stresses combos and platform action; The Legend of Aang adds villages, quests, items and light role-playing elements.
Dawn of the Dragon links elemental attacks to an action adventure and lets two heroes cooperate. Spyro and Cynder can fly freely and a second player can share the campaign locally. Avatar stays closer to the ground, is for one player only and uses four characters with fixed roles. Both ask you to match the right element or party member to enemies and obstacles.
Like Avatar, LEGO Star Wars lets you switch between characters to handle specific doors, switches and fights. The difference lies in the structure: LEGO uses short replayable episodes, many collectibles and local co-op. The Legend of Aang follows one continuous quest with experience, inventory and side missions, and has no second player.
