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.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled for Xbox One
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled for Xbox One turns Crash, Coco and their rivals into kart racers. You race along twisting tracks, jump gaps and use weapons from crates to influence the battle for the lead. Speed takes more than simply accelerating. Well-timed inputs during a powerslide can build extra acceleration; a substantial jump can also produce a boost on landing. Wumpa fruit strengthens your capabilities during a race. Learning the track and dividing your attention between steering, jumping and using items therefore pays off.
In the solo adventure, Nitros Oxide challenges Crash’s world. From a world map, you drive to races, earn trophies and face bosses. Additional challenges have you collect letters or hit time crates. Single races and time trials offer shorter sessions; Battle focuses on weapon combat in arenas. You save Adventure progress at save points onto a PlayStation Memory Card. Time-trial records can also be stored, so a carefully driven lap need not be lost.
A standard PlayStation controller works. Versus and Battle support up to four simultaneous players; three or four players require a PlayStation Multitap and a controller each. The adventure remains a single-player game. This is the original PS1 version.
Region and language
Our Xbox One 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
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled for Xbox One was originally released without a printed manual. This edition therefore does not come with a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item from the original packaging is missing.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
Naughty Dog developed Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled for Sony, which released it on PlayStation in 1999. After three Crash platform games, the team chose another form of play using the same characters and world. Designer Daniel Arey later described how the developers sought a new challenge while finishing Warped. A kart game allowed more freely structured three-dimensional circuits and a camera that could follow the race. The project therefore did more than turn Crash from a platform hero into a driver: it also demanded another way of designing his familiar environments.
The team used simple prototypes early on to test the handling. The powerslide became a core part of that design, while jumps became opportunities for extra speed rather than mere obstacles. Tracks received main routes and secret shortcuts, an approach linked to the team’s platform-level experience. Something of Crash’s earlier adventures therefore remained without copying their controls. Weapons added a second layer to that technical foundation: a good racing line helps, but you must also react to attacks and the items you receive along the way.
Adventure linked the races into a continuing journey, while local races and battles kept shared play on the same television central. The later Nitro-Fueled reinterpretation belongs to different hardware. This edition retains the original combination of driving technique, collecting challenges and racing fun on Xbox One, with that console’s limits and possibilities.
