    ‘Advance Wars’ Remake Postponed Indefinitely Due to Current Events

    Given current events in Ukraine, Nintendo has announced that the upcoming strategy game Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp will be postponed indefinitely. Originally, it was going to release on April 8th, but WayForward and Nintendo made the honest choice of pushing the game back. No release date has yet been named, but the delay makes a lot of sense.

    For those that haven’t played the original Advance Wars games, the Blue Moon fraction that is part of Wars World invades the neighboring country. While the war theme throughout the game may also have been a reason for the delay, the real reason lies in the before-mentioned story, as the Blue Moon faction is a Russian allegory. Given their current actions, the delay is an understandable and smart decision by the developers.

    It’s a shame that the game has gotten delayed again, as it was originally going to release ahead of last year’s holidays. For unknown reasons, it was pushed back once again but this time around it’s for a good reason. We’ll see if we get an announcement on the franchise’s future in the near future and if we might even get some updated looks on other additions to the game.

  • New ‘Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp’ Trailer Confirms April Release

    New ‘Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp’ Trailer Confirms April Release

    Finally, after a long bout of silence, the upcoming remake of the classic Gameboy Advance series Advance Wars got an update in the latest Nintendo Direct. Advance Wars 1 + 2 Reboot Camp revealed that every commanding officer has received full voice work, and even teased how the game will handle the inclusion of both games.

    The addition of fast-forwarding gameplay and even resetting turns is an amazing addition for players that may struggle in later levels. Custom Maps also make a return thankfully and the addition of Online multiplayer might be one of the best additions to just add that replayability once you finish the campaign. The game will release on April 8th and it’ll be exciting to get our hands on this Nintendo classic.

    Nintendo’s ‘Advance Wars’ Remake Delayed Until Spring 2022

    Sadly, it looks like the E3 announced Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp was officially delayed. Nintendo took to Twitter to announce that the remake of the original two games won’t get released until Spring 2022. It originally was going to be made available this holiday season on December 3rd. The remake will take the original’s sprite artworks and update it with a combination of hand-drawn animations for the characters and 3D stylization for the various infantry units.

    As mentioned previously, this game won’t just include the original Advance Wars, but also its sequel Black Hole Rising. There’s also word that it’ll include online functionality for those wanting a chance to face off against friends. There’s no word if it’s one ongoing campaign or if the games will be available as two separate options. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater remix combined both into one game but still kept the levels separate.

    We’ll see what the game has to offer, but it’s exciting to see them bring back some classic franchises. The Nintendo Switch has become a home for many classic franchises. They recently released the long-awaited sequel to Metroid Fusion titled Dread on the console and there’s hope that other long-dormant franchises might get a release.

    A childhood favorite is finally making a return, as during the E3 Nintendo Direct they announced a brand new remake of the original two Advance Wars titles. Not just that, they are completely redoing the franchise in 3D with unique animations for the characters. Not just that, they are even remaking both original games from the Nintendo Gameboy. Sadly, it seems they aren’t focusing on the Nintendo DS’s Dual Strike that continued the franchise back in the day, but they might return to the franchise if this new installment proves to be successful.
