Has anyone played the original Advanced Wars games? I used to play these a lot... they were a lot of fun. Looks like they're re-issuing them for the Nintendo Switch. They were originally released on the Game Boy Advanced. There was another game, Advanced Wars Dual Strike, released on the Nintendo DS.
Pre-Order Amazon Link:
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp - Nintendo Switch - amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/Advance-Wars-Re-Boot-Camp-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B097B186JF?crid=2TSBHTJCMTMDJ&keywords=advanced+wars&qid=1654090840&sprefix=advanced+war%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=bluevmg-20&linkId=8ae452f5ac0cbd590a8e82ee778ebc1e&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)
I'm thinking of pre-ordering this game... though the backlog is massive. Anyone else?
Thoughts, comments? Post it up!
I've already ordered it. I loved The first three, never played the days of ruin but the first three were fantastic. Batallion wars was awesome too. Seems like this one will take a while, PR and war in Ukraine seem to be holding it back
@targetrasp Now you make me want to pre-order it. I Think I might do that. Same as you, I realllllly liked the 1st 3 and never played Days of Ruin.
I used to play this on my old GBA SP. It was the Perfect game for handheld.
Freaking finally, this shows releasing late next week!
Bestbuy mysteriously cancelled my order. I was stoked to get this game over the weekend and it was just silently cancelled. I didn't receive an email, it just stopped showing up in my pending orders. "Advance Wars" didn't even show up when I typed it in searching through my orders. Had I not remembered ordering it at the same time I ordered a Series S I never would have found the cancellation.
I just reordered on best buy's site as there's nothing local to pick up, so maybe next weekend.
@targetrasp I've balked at buying this one so far. Did you get it and is it great?
I really dig Advance Wars,and am so happy I get to play it on new hardware. I just beat the first Advance War's campaign and have gone back to 100% complete the first campaign. I really wish Dual Strike was included but I'm happy with the purchase, probably more so than normal.
@targetrasp man... I need to get this game. I'm hoping it'll go on sale in the near future. If I find it on sale, I'll post the sale. This is one of those games in the past that didn't go on sale... at least from what I remember.
Rule of thumb:
If it's a first party Nintendo game and I want it It'll never go on sale UNLESS I buy it, then it'll go on sale just after. If I don't buy it, it becomes insanely difficult to find and costs more than retail OR just never goes on sale.

5 bucks cheaper already, and i bought day one,
https://www.amazon.com/Advance-Wars-Days-Ruin-Nintendo-DS/dp/B0012NWBH4 - only Advance Wars game slept on and it's worth more now than during the release.
I think I may buy this one. It's a shame they don't have better multiplayer for it though matches could take a very long time.
10% off right now but still $50+
Advanced wars is awesome though... outside complaints of multiplayer, it seems like this game is holding up and highly rated.
