ADVANCE WARS: 1+-2 RE-BOOT CAMP Review (Nintendo Switch) - Better Than Ever? - Electric Playground

Nice review! I really appreciate your positivity in all your content. It really makes a difference in this hectic world 🙂

Love this game! I really hope they don’t give up on this franchise I hope it sells well enough but there hasn’t been any new games in the series for quite sometime until this and it’s a reboot . Either way great game!

No performance analysis ? Is this a review or a joke ?

I love your reviews so much!!!! Thanks Vic for recommending me games for as long as I can remember!!

They should have had a graphics option to switch to the old sprite animations as alternate look, the 3-d models look really bland.

I loved the GBA advance war and but as a returning player, I found the first 10 missions and tutorials very annoying. I wished the Switch version have a function to skip some of the beginning missions.

Glad I have AW 1, 2 and Dual Strike on my Wii U, without having to pay an annual fee.

Playing for years? They’re amazing games but that’s a bit long.

Soooo.... C&C for children?

Have a friend who has a big Game Boy Advanced collection. Will have to tell him about this new version.

It's freaking insane they aren't releasing this game in Japan. You know... where the series was born? I know it struggled there, but I also feel it's a disservice to the original creators by not releasing it there.

Thanks for the great review Vic 👍🏻


Fantastic game, great to play this again, never expected Advance Wars to return.

I wish they went for a 2DHD look like Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy etc. though. The new graphics lost a lot of the charm. Anyway, great game!

Never played the originals but I kind of dig the art style actually. Vehicles have an almost plasticky or toy look to them. Like playing with GI Joes or Army Men when I was a kid

This makes me want to play Into the Breach on my Switch. I wonder if it make sense to own this as well? 🤔

Victor Is there no online match?

You can tell Nintendo gave WayForward a nothing budget to make that game...WAY more production values in the FE series. I am a stan for very good sprite work and this is not it. At least they were able to get the core gameplay in there.

Glad to hear that Advance Wars is alive and well on the Switch. I'll be picking this one up just as soon as I finish with the Megaman Battle Network collection

I GOTTA PLAY THIS!! ^^

Meh, not a fan of the new graphics. Would have purchased a straight port for $20, but passing on this one.

I loved playing these games back in the day

I definetely prefer the pixel art of the original. That's why I picked up one of my all-time GBA favorites on Wii-U for $8 just before this $60 cash-in came out.

It's too bad they didn't incorporate a mixed medium approach to the art direction where the units on the map could've been their pixel art originals and they could've spent more time making the battle scenes actually look decent.
Also the performance is very much inconsistent which matters less for a tactics game but still disappointing coming from Nintendo

Thanks Vic, they're SO ADDICTIVE.

I think it kinda sucks. It's a little lazy. Some of the levels are really hard all of a sudden. I think they should've done something different with this

Advanced Wars is an absolute classic series. I replayed both GBA last during Covid lockdowns and I've been dying for this port. The fast forward button is a gamechanger for quality of life fixes for when you have a match with a ton of units in play and keeps me from disabling the battle animations. I really hope they get around to doing a port of Dual Strike on a single screen for the Switch. I also agree that the new art style is the weakest point of the port.

I prefer the new look of the World Map, but prefer the old sprites for the battles.
GD, I remember when this game was new.

I guess I played them way too much on the gba. I was hoping for some extras. The graphics are OK coulda been much better.

Great timing! Just picked it up

This game looks pretty cool. Great review from the best to do it. I find if Victor likes or dislikes a game I could pretty much guarantee that I will like or dislike the game cause we have the same gaming tastes

Always wanted to get into advance wars back in the day but couldn't find a physical copy. Glad for Nintendo's estore

Cool Vic! I played the GC one!

I'm so excited about this release. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Great review!

Another top notch review. This is how you do it. Loved the older versions! Great stuff!
