Head back to the battlefield this spring

The Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp release date is set for this April, bringing the two Game Boy Advance strategy games to Switch in a fully updated form.

Re-Boot Camp is meant to be a faithful remake of the originals, which means you shouldn't expect too many big additions to the campaigns themselves. However, the trailer did reveal a few new quality-of-life features that should make them easier to get into, including the option to fast forward through battles or reset your entire turn if you've made a few too many moves you wish you could take back.

Outside of the two campaigns, the War Room will let you jostle for a high score across maps, and the Design Room will let you create and share your own maps with fellow players. Re-Boot also features online multiplayer, so you won't need a GBA link cable to find folks to fight over turf with.

Advance Wars: 1 + 2 Re-Boot Camp was originally set to launch in December 2021, before being delayed to spring - hopefully this release date sticks, and we can look forward to a season full of strategic victories.
