Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp Brings the Classic Series Back to Nintendo Switch
The anticipation among Nintendo Switch fans has reached new heights, as Nintendo officially announced the long-awaited return of the beloved Advance Wars franchise.
During the E3 Nintendo Direct presentation on June 15, 2021, it was revealed that 'Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp' will launch globally for the Nintendo Switch on December 3.
This remastered collection combines the campaigns of both Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, introducing the tactical brilliance of Intelligent Systems’ iconic series to a new generation of players.
Originally released for the Game Boy Advance, the Advance Wars series quickly earned acclaim for its engaging turn-based strategy gameplay, vibrant visual style, and memorable cast of commanding officers.
The original Advance Wars debuted in North America in 2001, followed by Black Hole Rising in 2003.
Both titles became cult favorites and established Intelligent Systems as a master of the strategy genre.
Despite critical praise and a devoted fanbase, the series has been absent from Nintendo’s mainline platforms for over a decade.
'Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp' is far more than a simple port.
The remaster delivers a dramatic visual overhaul, with fully reimagined graphics and animations that bring new life to every unit and battlefield.
Players can relive the gripping campaigns from both games, facing off against rival armies like Orange Star and Black Hole across a variety of challenging missions.
In addition to the story content, local and online multiplayer options provide fresh ways for players to test their strategic skills against friends and competitors worldwide.
Speaking about the release, Nintendo reaffirmed its commitment to reviving classic franchises with modern polish.
'With Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp, Nintendo Switch players will experience the strategic depth and charm that made the original games so beloved, now presented with updated visuals and accessible controls,' stated the company, highlighting the careful attention given to both veteran fans and newcomers.
Available through the Nintendo eShop, Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp marks a significant milestone for the platform’s growing library of strategy titles.
The announcement has sparked enthusiasm across social media and gaming forums, as longtime fans welcome the return of a series that has shaped the landscape of turn-based tactics on Nintendo hardware.
With its December 3 release date, Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp offers both nostalgia and innovation, ensuring the classic spirit of Advance Wars endures for years to come on the Nintendo Switch.
