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!

LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes for Nintendo Wii
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes for Nintendo Wii brings Batman and Robin together with Superman in a new adventure set around Gotham City. Lex Luthor and the Joker cause trouble that demands more than the two main characters' usual equipment. You fight LEGO enemies, build with loose pieces and use special powers to progress. The light-hearted scenes tell an original story, in which the heroes' collaboration is a particular source of friction and jokes.
Batman and Robin change what they can do by wearing special suits. An obstacle may require a powerful tool or different protection, while Superman offers other solutions through flight, heat vision and his breath. You therefore work out which figure belongs with an object or passage. Between story sections, you can explore Gotham, drive vehicles and search for collectibles. The city gives the adventure more room than a simple sequence of separate missions.
You play alone and switch between the available characters yourself, or cooperate with two players on the same Nintendo Wii. You use two controllers for that local cooperation. Returning later with unlocked heroes helps you explore previously unreachable places. This leaves a second layer after the story: recognising which power you needed somewhere, then bringing the right hero. This is the complete Nintendo Wii console version, not the differently structured handheld edition. Each player uses a Wii Remote with a Nunchuk, so playing together requires two of these sets.
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
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes 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 LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
TT Games released LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in 2012. It followed LEGO Batman: The Videogame from 2008 and broadened the focus from Batman to the wider DC universe. Superman, Green Lantern and other heroes took their place alongside Gotham's familiar characters. The makers again chose an original story, allowing them to bring different personalities into conflict without closely following an existing film.
In an interview around release, producer Matthew Ellison described the city as a larger central environment than the studio had previously created. That choice also changed what you did between missions. With a flying hero, the same city offered a different perspective from the view behind the Batmobile's wheel. Character differences therefore extended beyond the puzzle rooms. The Nintendo Wii version had that extensive Gotham environment; the PS Vita edition used a different central structure.
Spoken dialogue was another notable step for the LEGO adventures. Earlier games told much of their stories through gestures and mumbling. Here the makers could let you hear the relationship between the reserved Batman and the confident Superman directly. Building, collecting and switching characters nevertheless remained the foundation. The sequel connected that existing formula with a city you could explore more freely and a broader cast. It became a stepping stone towards later LEGO superhero games with large collectible rosters.
Similar games for Nintendo Wii
LEGO Batman: The Videogame on Nintendo Wii also has you guide Batman and Robin through puzzles using special equipment. The original game focuses more strongly on their fight against Gotham's villains and also includes villain stories. LEGO Batman 2 adds Superman and other DC heroes and gives you a larger city to explore between missions.
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 also gives you a familiar world full of hidden objects and puzzles for different characters on Nintendo Wii. You learn spells at Hogwarts and follow four film stories. Batman 2 tells an original DC adventure and lets you explore Gotham with suits and superpowers. The recurring school and the expansive city give searching between missions a different form.
LEGO The Lord of the Rings also lets you explore a larger world between story levels on Nintendo Wii. You follow the Fellowship through Middle-earth and use weapons and tools at obstacles. Batman 2 stays around Gotham and makes flying, vehicles and superhero suits important. Both link free exploration with character abilities, but a journey through varied landscapes feels different from returning to the same city.
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game also uses cooperation and character switching to solve building puzzles on Nintendo Wii. It tells four pirate films with many gestures and visual jokes. Batman 2 uses spoken dialogue and an original story about Batman, Robin and Superman. Ships and islands give way to Gotham, where you can also look around more freely between missions.
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues shares building, collecting and two-player play on Nintendo Wii. It uses four film adventures and gives you a level builder for homemade challenges. Batman 2 instead offers an original superhero story and the explorable city of Gotham. Freedom here lies mainly in movement and discovering powers, while Indiana Jones also gives you tools for your own levels.
