‘Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp’ will finally arrive on April 21st
Multiple delays and more than a year after it was first supposed to arrive, Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp has a new release date. Nintendo announced today that the remaster will arrive on April 21st. First announced in the summer of 2021, Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp was originally scheduled to hit the Nintendo eShop later that same year. However, Nintendo first delayed the title in the fall of 2021 to give Re-Boot Camp’s development team more time to work on the game. The company then subsequently pushed the remake back again after the war in Ukraine began.
Re-Boot Camp bundles together “reimagined” versions of Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising. The two games, long considered classics of the turn-based strategy genre, were first released by Nintendo on the Game Boy Advance in 2001 and 2003, respectively. Intelligent Systems, best known for its work on the Fire Emblem franchise, was the lead developer on both titles. The remakes will include a level creator that will allow you to share your own scenarios with friends. The games will also support local and online play.
Nintendo is adding Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games to Switch Online today
After years of rumors, Nintendo is finally bringing Game Boy and Game Boy Advance titles to its Switch Online service. The company revealed during its latest Nintendo Direct that games from its early handhelds will be available on Switch today.
The Game Boy titles you can spend the entire rest of your week on are Tetris, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX, Gargoyle’s Quest, Game & Watch Gallery 3, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, Metroid II: Return of Samus, Wario Land 3 and Kirby’s Dream Land.
You’ll be able to play the games with Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket and Game Boy Color screen filters. Other filters include ones called “reproduce classic feel” and “display with small screen.” There’s support for two-player local and online play too.
As for GBA titles, you can play Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, WarioWare Inc: Mega Microgames, Kuru Kuru Kururin, Mario Kart Super Circuit, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap today. There’s support for four-player multiplayer both locally and online.
The Game Boy titles will be available on the base version of Switch Online. You’ll need to plump for the Switch Online + Expansion Pack to access the GBA ones. More titles for both platforms will be added later, including several Zelda titles, Pokémon Trading Card Game, Metroid Fusion and Fire Emblem.
Long-Delayed Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp Finally Has A Release Date
At long last, Nintendo has revealed the new release date for Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp. Announced during February’s Nintendo Direct, the double-feature remake will now arrive on April 21, 2023, over a year after its intended release date.
A remake of Advance Wars and its sequel, Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, Reboot Camp combines the events of both games into a cohesive, revamped, and reimagined experience. In it, you play a tactical adviser for the Orange Star Army, whose expertise is called upon to help defend your homeland. You’ll be tasked with commanding your own army in strategic, turn-based combat, as well as capturing towns and bases to secure victory and keep the peace.
As for its delay, Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp was reportedly complete and ready to hit its April 8, 2022 release date when Russia invaded Ukraine, kicking off a still-ongoing war. In an apparent acknowledgment that Advance Wars shares some plot elements with this real-world event, Nintendo delayed the game indefinitely.
