The actual gameplay is the real gem in both AW and AW2. Also, a whole bunch of new campaign missions and a couple other, less impressive, features. In short, there are a bunch of new CO's and one new unit, which (at first) appears to be available only to the enemy. I haven't even scratched the surface of this monster, so I don't know if my account of the new stuff is accurate or not, but I have a pretty good idea of what's new. There are indeed new things added to expand the game, but there is actually very little. "So if there's nothing new about it, why should I buy it and not just play the first one?" Maybe I wasn't very clear the first time around. But like I say so often when it comes to sequels if it ain't broke, don't fix it. AW2 relies mostly on the greatness of the first game and the name recognition to get anywhere. I'll cover that more in-depth later, but for now my answer is this "Not a whole lot". And let me tell you, that is a really good question. The only question that you ask is "what could they possibly add to Advance Wars?". Now, 2 years later, Advance Wars 2 appears. I still think the best time was when we were forced to spend gym class in the library and we stealthily played in the little cubicle thingys. Almost every day during spare and lunch we could be found in the cafeteria playing Advance Wars, or on occasion Bomberman Tournament. My friends got it some time around Christmas, I borrowed my brother's copy, and we played the Hell out of the game. Way back when, sometime in 2001 I think, Advance Wars was released for the GameBoy Advance. So with the intro out of the way, onto the review! Mostly because I'm too damn lazy to search any archives and if it's not on the first page it's not worth it to me. I never actually found the ROM, I just settled after I found Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising. Oh yeah, what I found instead (probably) kicks Rock 'N Roll Racing's ass into next week. Have you ever been looking for something and then found something better? And I'm not talking looking for a cookie and finding donuts, I'm talking about searching for coin and finding a wad of bills. Rather good sequels at that.īack to the story. Before you say anything, F-Zero: Maximum Velocity and Mario Kart: Super Circuit were not ports. I'm still not sure why I wanted to play it. But it might have something to do with the fact that just before this ROM search, I read something about it on Planet GameCube.
Why Rock 'N Roll Racing? I'm not sure myself. This time around, it wasn't just to see what was there and take whatever had the most colourful screenshots. So as I was saying, I was downloading ROMs yet again. But, I digress, that's not exactly the kind of thing that I want my site(or myself, for that matter) to be known for. They both involve plenty of use of my hands and generally make use of the internet as well. I know it's wrong, but I just can't help myself. The last title in this movie, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, was released in 2008 on the Nintendo DS.Yet again, I've been downloading ROMs. The first Advance Wars games were created by the Intelligent Systems of Fire Emblem. The remake is being made up of WayForward, the most famous model of the River City Girls and the Shantae series. It could be a try to prepare a new generation of players for what a new installment might look like today. Instead of acting as a radical departure like the remake of Resident Evil 2, for example, Re-Boot Camp aims to emulate the gameplay of the Game Boy Advance originals wrapped up in a new presentation. The soundtrack was also re-recorded for the Nintendo Switch version. The 2D sprites have been replaced by fully 3D models and environments. According to Nintendo, the team needed a little time to fine tune the Switch’s exclusive.Īdvance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a single package that makes it easier for a player to take advantage of the two original versions of Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2, Black Hole Rising, with multiplayer option for up to four players. It’s expected that he’ll start December 3, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp will now arrive in spring. The remake of the gameboy Advance title has just been delayed.
