Hello, troops! #AdvanceWars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, which was set to launch on 12/3, will now release for #NintendoSwitch in spring 2022. The game just needs a little more time for fine tuning. You'll be battling with Andy & friends soon! Thanks for your patience. pic.twitter.com/dSi8VSsxTH

Little more time and fine tuning of a game released two decades ago?

Wonder that that entails.

 

[KingVamp]

Sad, but could make a better game.

Phew.
Better delayed and good than on time and bad.

My wallet's already aching asis anyways.

 

[Reploid]

Sounds like some major issue, rather than little polish, but it's okay.

 

[pwjpssdfvqyuhweuxx]

wonder if I should play this instead of the original?
never touched the game before

 

[Gamer90Kirby]

Gotta spread out the weak releases and save the good ones for the Switch "2" like Metroid Prime 4 and BoTW2.

Uh, wonder why they got delayed? Everyone complains about the art style?

>Sees advance wars picture
Ooooooooooooohhh!!!! Yes!!
>Sees words delayed
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ((

I do 100% appreciate a game being worked on until it's acceptably complete, rather than releasing a buggy incomplete mess that requires a ton of patching and pisses everyone off.

I fail to see how they could screw up a decade old tactical RPG. Yet, I'm fine with this.

Would be cool if they'd use the time to add the remaining two games, which of course they won't.

This is what happens when their upcoming games don’t get good feedback, let this be a lesson to all!

Just accepted it, Advance War is over. No one born after 2000 know about it while old fan won't stop compare new game to "the good old day".

guess after copying the basegame, they realized certain missions in the first game are just terrible.
or worse in case they combined 1 and 2 co's and made them the same across both games

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

It looked absolutely awful in the reveal

I really liked how the game looks on reveal trailer (I believe it was on E3). But what makes advance wars fun is it's addictive mechanic, not the visuals, and this mechanic can be enjoyed right now at an emulator near you.

They still better include the original in this. They should have just released a collection, I’m still not use to the new look.

My guess is that Nintendo trusted Wayforward enough to develop this game unsupervised but it was only after the reveal that they have to step in.

I still wish Wayforward used the same pixel artist as the older Shantae games for this remake instead of that style used for Half Genie Hero.

Perhaps, they are optimizing the emulator for UHD graphics.

Have you guys really already forgotten the monumentally influential Miyamoto quote about delayed games?
