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.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 for Nintendo GameCube
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 for Nintendo GameCube is a golf game in which you prepare every shot by considering the course, the wind and the lie of the ball. You choose a club, set your aim and think about where you want to play your next shot from. Aiming straight at the flag is not always the wisest choice. A safe landing on the fairway can leave you in a better position than a long shot that ends in a bunker.
The dual-analogue controls divide the shot between two sticks. You use one to perform the swing and the other to influence the point of impact on the ball. This lets you work on the height and shape of its flight. When putting, how far you move the stick also matters. You read the contours of the green and try to match direction and power. On short shots in particular, you notice how much difference a small adjustment can make.
You play on well-known golf courses such as Pebble Beach, alongside fictional locations. In Rivals, you create your own golfer and face Tiger Woods and other golfing greats across different eras. You can also play a round locally with up to four players and follow one another’s decisions on every hole.
Region and language
Our Nintendo GameCube 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
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 for Nintendo GameCube 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 Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 was released in 2005 for Nintendo GameCube. EA Redwood Shores developed the game and Electronic Arts published it under EA Sports. The year in the title therefore refers to the following season’s edition. On GameCube, it followed Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005, which already featured created golfers, famous opponents and course customisation. The sequel shifted some of the focus towards more precise influence over the shot itself.
EA introduced the dual-analogue swing as a way to influence the movement of the swing and the point of contact with the ball separately. The new putting controls followed the same approach: movement of the stick gained a more direct relationship with the intended shot. Alongside those changes, Rivals brought a journey through golf history. Your own player faced famous names from different eras, with clothing and equipment also matching the period in question.
For the presentation, EA once again chose licensed golf courses and recognisable professionals, supplemented by fictional courses. The music was part of the EA Sports Trax programme, including a contribution from Dave Matthews Band. A separate Xbox 360 version also appeared later in 2005. This Nintendo GameCube version belongs to the edition released alongside PlayStation 2 and Xbox, with Rivals and the two sticks as important parts of its design.
