Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Delayed Due to Real World Events

Nintendo of America (as well as various other Nintendo branches) confirmed that Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp will be delayed once more due to real-world events. In reference to the war in Ukraine, Nintendo says that recent world events are behind the delay for Advance Wars.

Since Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is largely focused on war itself and defeating enemies with tanks, planes, and bombs, it’s understandable that Nintendo and WayForward might want to delay the release date again out of respect for those currently affected by the war. There’s currently no new release date, but Nintendo says to stay tuned for further information.

In light of recent world events, we have made the decision to delay Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, which was originally scheduled to release on Nintendo Switch on April 8th. Please stay tuned for updates on a new release date.

This is the second delay for Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, as the remake was originally set to come out on December 3rd of 2021. The game then had a tentative release date for Spring 2022, then had its date set for April 8th at the most recent Nintendo Direct.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a remade collection of Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, both of which were originally released for the Game Boy Advance. This remake is done by WayForward, the studio behind titles like Shantae and DuckTales Remastered. They’re known for their stunning 2D visuals, which you can see in Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp.
