Advance Wars is back!
At long last, Advance Wars is back, with the long-dormant franchise receiving a remake of its first two entries on Nintendo Switch. The (hopefully) final release date has been confirmed and it's set to release this spring.
In Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, you'll be able to play fully-remade versions of the campaigns from the original GBA Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising. The WayForward-developed remake is set to bring the classic strategy series from Fire Emblem team Intelligent Systems back in style.
The game had previously been delayed because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Despite the ongoing nature of that conflict, Nintendo has decided it's time to release the game at last.
