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 Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues for Nintendo Wii
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues for Nintendo Wii turns four Indiana Jones films into an action adventure with building puzzles and short fights. You follow the archaeologist through recognisable events from the original trilogy and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The older films receive new levels, so this is not simply the first LEGO Indiana Jones with an extra chapter. Gestures and visual jokes tell the story.
You use Indy's whip to overcome obstacles, move objects and tackle enemies. Other characters bring their own abilities, so you need to work out who can solve a particular obstacle. Between missions you explore larger hub areas, collect studs and discover new vehicles and characters. After a story mission you can return with different figures. A previously unreachable spot then becomes a new puzzle rather than just another trip along the same route.
You play alone or with two people on the same Nintendo Wii, each using a controller. When you move apart, the screen splits, so you do not have to coordinate every movement. You can also create your own challenges with the level builder and try them locally. The enjoyment comes from discovering how parts, switches and constructions work together. This Nintendo Wii edition contains the complete original game; its creative tools belong to the game itself and require no separate LEGO figures or toy reader. 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 Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues 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 Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
Traveller's Tales developed LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, which LucasArts released in 2009. It arrived a year after LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures. That first game adapted the three older films using the building-block formula the studio had developed with LEGO Star Wars. For the sequel, the team also included The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the film that marked Indiana Jones's return to cinemas in 2008.
Adding a fourth film went hand in hand with changes to the game's structure. The original trilogy received new missions, while larger hub areas connected the different activities. The splitting camera gave two local players greater freedom to go their own way. This changed not just the number of adventures told, but also how you travelled through the world together and discovered missions beyond the main story. The sequel therefore does not replace its predecessor's levels one for one.
The level builder also gave the idea of LEGO bricks another meaning. Instead of only breaking apart and rebuilding the developers' predetermined solutions, you could assemble an obstacle course yourself. That experiment belongs to the original console edition. This version still tells the four films available at the time, not the later Dial of Destiny. The Nintendo Wii game thus preserves a particular phase of the series, when building puzzles, local cooperation and homemade missions appeared side by side.
Similar games for Nintendo Wii
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures on Nintendo Wii covers only the original three films. It shares the whip, building puzzles and local cooperation with this sequel. Indiana Jones 2 adds Crystal Skull, new versions of the older adventures and a level builder. The first game instead retains its own longer film levels.
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Nintendo Wii likewise combines film stories with building and character abilities. There you visit six Star Wars films and use the Force and droids, among other things. Indiana Jones 2 stays closer to earthly adventures and gives its local players greater freedom of movement through a splitting screen.
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 also lets you play through four film stories with a second player on Nintendo Wii. At Hogwarts you learn spells and mix potions to overcome obstacles. Indiana Jones 2 uses a whip and tools, gives the older films new levels and lets you build yourself. School lessons give way to treasure hunts and a creative workshop.
LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game also tells four films through building puzzles, short fights and visual jokes on Nintendo Wii. Jack Sparrow and his companions explore ships and islands. Indiana Jones 2 puts more emphasis on the whip, treasures and building your own challenges. Both require character switching, but only Indiana Jones 2 offers the separate level builder here.
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes also combines building, character switching and local cooperation on Nintendo Wii. You explore Gotham and use suits and superpowers in an original DC story. Indiana Jones 2 sticks to four films and human tools. Its level builder gives you a different kind of freedom from driving and flying through Batman’s city, without offering the same city adventure.
