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.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes for Nintendo Wii
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes for Nintendo Wii is an action-platform game based on the animated series. You follow characters including Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano during a conflict with Separatist forces. Missions alternate between Jedi and clone troopers. As a Jedi, you use lightsaber attacks, jumps and the Force; as a trooper, you use blasters, grenades and other military weapons. You thus experience the same war through different roles, each with its own movements and combat tools.
On Nintendo Wii you can play the campaign alone or locally with two players, each with a separate controller. The second player controls the partner otherwise led by the computer. Completed missions can be selected again for missed items and upgrades; the local story needs no network service.
On Nintendo Wii, you can play through the campaign alone or locally with two players. The second participant takes over the partner otherwise controlled by the computer; each uses a Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Missions can be replayed for missed items and purchased upgrades. The story and local cooperation are on the disc and require no current network service.
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
The manual is missing from this copy of Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes for Nintendo Wii. That is why the product title says “No Manual”. You receive the game in its box, without the instruction booklet. This makes the contents clear before you order.
The original printed manual usually contains at least English and often around six European languages. The languages vary by edition; Dutch is not always included. This information describes the original booklet and does not mean that it comes with this copy. A copy with a manual is offered separately when available.
The history of Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes
LucasArts and Krome Studios brought Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes to Nintendo Wii in 2009. The game followed the animated film and television series that had begun in 2008. LucasArts announced the project in May 2009 as a new story leading into the second television season. The recognisable angular characters and settings were intended to evoke the same world while players took control of Jedi and clone trooper battles themselves.
Krome worked with Lucasfilm Animation on this project. The studio had previously developed the Wii game The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels, but Republic Heroes turned the television universe into a series of action-platform missions. Alternating Jedi and troopers also shaped the level design: lightsabers, Force powers and jumps required different obstacles from firearms and cover. Cad Bane returned from the series, while Kul Teska became a new enemy for this adventure.
Republic Heroes appeared on several gaming systems, but the versions are not identical across platforms. The separate Nintendo DS game came from the Lucasfilm Animation Singapore team and used the touchscreen. On Nintendo Wii, Krome built the action around buttons and an analogue stick, with a computer-controlled companion during the solo story. The finished release arrived in autumn 2009. The adventure thus coincided with the period when The Clone Wars was expanding further on television.
