OverviewOverview

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a re-release of the classic turn-based strategy game on Nintendo Switch. You take charge of an army in strategic, turn-based combat. With land, air, and naval units across the battlefield, you work to take down enemy squads and capture towns and bases to secure victory and keep the peace.

The reboot offers game-changing terrain and weather as you lead units across two campaigns from the original Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising games.

Advance Wars, was originally based on a Gameboy game from the 80s. It became popular when it arrived on Gameboy Advance:

  • Advance Wars: Dual Strike (2005) on Nintendo DS and the added ability to have two commanders.
  • Battalion Wars 2 (2007) on the Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo Wii as a spin-off from the main series.
  • Advance Wars: Days of Ruin / Dark Conflict (2008) Nintendo DS with more troops and story modes.
Advance Wars By Web is an unofficial version of the original game that added online multiplayer modes but had no single-player mode.
