strategy games off the PC have come a long wayĪs for the story, players took control as an adviser for the Orange Star army helping their commanding officer (or CO) Andy in battle. The impact would be felt for years to come with recent examples like the XCOM franchise and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. The success of the franchise not only proved that strategy games could work off the PC, but there was a market for it. The game featured bright and detailed pixel graphics to draw players in, and tutorials and missions were designed to ease players into it. For most of the world, the strategy genre has always been seen as a PC only experience with some of the best - and most complicated - games staying platform locked.Īdvance Wars was designed to be the perfect entry point for new players to the genre. In 2001, it was announced that Nintendo was bringing a new game in the franchise to the US with Intelligent Systems returning as the developer.Īdvance Wars became a huge hit for both Nintendo and Intelligent Systems. Intelligent Systems would release one more game in the Wars franchise and then the next two sequels were done by developer Hudson Soft. It was one of the first turn-based strategy games to be released off the PC, but was never ported over here in fear of it not being well-received.

Considering the content of Advance Wars is too close to current events, this delay makes a lot of sense. While the reason for this delay was stated in consideration of ongoing "world events," it's heavily implied the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia was the main reason. While the release date for the game was initially set in stone for April 8, Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp would get delayed again. While it was initially announced to be released in 2021, the game was delayed to the following year, citing the game needing refinement before release. Many fans were excited about this new entry in the series, as there hasn't been a single Advance Wars game since Advance Wars: Days of Ruin on the Nintendo DS in 2008.
