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.
Skylanders Giants for Nintendo Wii U
Skylanders Giants brings toy figures into the game through a compatible Portal of Power. Giants are larger, break heavy obstacles and lift objects; LightCore figures illuminate on the portal without batteries. You explore chapters, fight, solve simple puzzles and swap figures to open elemental gates. This offer is Game Only: portal and figures are not included and are required to play.
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 U release of Skylanders Giants was checked separately for controls, presentation and delivery. The product title determines whether a regular, budget or No Manual edition is supplied. Historical network features are not promised as available; local matches, campaign or career on the disc remain the core of this version.
Region and language
Our Nintendo Wii U 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
Skylanders Giants for Nintendo Wii U 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 Skylanders Giants
Toys for Bob developed Skylanders Giants as the sequel to Spyro's Adventure. Activision released it in Europe in October 2012 and retained support for many earlier Skylanders figures. New Giants, LightCore technology and higher levels expanded the toy concept without discarding the old collection. Wii U followed at the console launch; content and portal compatibility must be checked for each console family.
This physical release preserves a defined version from its original console generation. Later expansions, patches, servers and reissues may have added or changed features, but are not attributed to this disc. Its original design choices and technical limits belong to this edition. Developer, release period and platform were therefore checked separately. Differences in controls, presentation and accessories between consoles are also stated where they affect what can actually be played.
