Advance Wars
Now here’s a series that’s been left dormant for even longer than Lionhead’s adventure RPG series. Advance Wars last saw a release back in 2008 with the DS title Days of Ruin. Prior to that, Batallion Wars and its sequel released on the GameCube and Wii in 2005 and 2007 respectively.
For those not in the know, the ‘Wars’ series is all about using your military forces to defeat the enemy’s.
Simple in premise, fiendishly challenging in execution, the gameplay was incredibly compelling and perfect for a handheld system. It epitomized that age-old saying of “easy to pick up, hard to master.”
Considering how Wargroove showed how perfect turn-based strategy games feel on the Switch, we’ll seriously begin to question whether Nintendo has an aversion to money or something if a new Advance Wars title isn’t announced for the portable/ home hybrid system at E3 this year.
