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.
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for Nintendo Wii
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is a sports game for Nintendo Wii. Mario, Sonic and their teams compete in athletics, swimming, gymnastics, football and other events around London. Dream Events turn familiar sports into imaginative courses, while London Party spreads tasks and trivia across a city map. Up to four players can join locally; every simultaneous participant needs a separate Wii Remote. In each situation you choose the route, equipment and approach that fit best. The physical edition is assessed by its actual product title; digital extras are mentioned only when demonstrably included.
The campaign builds each situation around clear objectives, enemies or obstacles and controls that you gradually learn to master. Difficulty comes from timing, positioning and intelligent use of available resources. Exploring, trying again and choosing another approach often achieve more than haste. The fixed content on the disc therefore matters most. Any network features are mentioned only as historical options, not as services guaranteed to work today.
This Nintendo Wii edition of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games was checked separately for controller input, storage, presentation and delivery. The product title remains decisive for a standard or Classics edition and for the explicit No Manual label. Historical network functions are not promised as currently available; the campaign and local content on the disc form the core of this version.
