Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp playable early for one Switch user despite delay

sadasdasdsad.png

Delayed once in order to "fine-tune" the game, and a second due to "recent world events", Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot camp should have been out two days ago, but is currently delayed indefinitely. Despite that, it looks like there's someone out there that's gotten their hands on the full game. A Twitter user by the name of killetheth claimed that their copy of the game, which had been pre-loaded "prior to what happened" was playing normally, as if it had actually been released. They posted a screenshot from the game using the Nintendo Switch Share function, meaning it was uploaded directly from the Nintendo Switch console, and also recorded 30 seconds of footage from the tutorial chapter.

According to killetheth, Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp was suddenly playable as of April 9th on their Switch Lite, after having pre-loaded the digital copy before the delay. Normally, when a game is about to launch on the Nintendo e-Shop, it becomes possible to pre-load the title around a week in advance. In this case, the game was delayed on March 9th, leading to confusion surrounding the matter, since it shouldn't have been possible. The user went on to explain that it was only playable on the Nintendo Switch Lite, and they couldn't get it to download or show up on their main Switch.

Currently, it seems like killetheth is the only one who has managed to load up and actually play the game.

Thought this was a scuffed release but seems more like a funny edge case. I wonder how they got their hands on the preload.

Also I wonder, will the game ever leak online?

I still cant get over how absolutely shit this looks compared to the originals. It looks like a cheap Saturday morning CGI cartoon that has no budget. If they ever decide to get off their arse and make a third game it better not have this shit art direction.

I'm pretty sure there's already a third game - Dual Strike, from memory. And a fourth, Days of Ruin, which has a much more serious tone than its predecessors.
Also I'd prefer crisp, cartoony visuals over dated, pixellated GBA sprites, myself.

...I'm fine with the visuals as well...also hoping that Dual Strike will get a remake at some point. Maybe as DLC? I'm pretty sure they can work around the whole dual-screen stuff from the original, lol.

(...as for Days, eh, whatever, not a huge fan of that one. xD)

How would modding help with playing it?
For it to be playable he needs to either get his hand on a cardrige, or nintendo released the preload somewhere and accidenty didn't change the release date for the somewhere in the system to unlock the key to use the preload, which probably got fixed shortly after.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
