“We’ll announce the brand new date as soon as it has been decided”

As chances are you’ll recall, we reported six months in the past that Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp (a remake of Advance Wars 1 and 2 with further options on Swap) had been delayed on account of latest world occasions. Since then we haven’t heard an official assertion from Nintendo; and even in the course of the Nintendo Direct this week, the writer remained silent on when it might see the sunshine of day.

That silence has been damaged by way of a press release from a Nintendo rep, who spoke to Stephen Totilo from Axios this week. Right here’s their full reply:

“The discharge has been delayed. We’ll announce the brand new date as soon as it has been decided.”

Totilo had requested if the sport had been totally canceled, which it doesn’t appear to be presently, on condition that it’s “nonetheless delayed” as of this week. Past present occasions, Nintendo additionally has a number of issues with regards to figuring out the Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp launch date. The sport is totally accomplished, and so they can stick it into any schedule lull they so select. They might additionally use the chance of an occasion or stream to “re-announce” it to the world.

With that in thoughts, giving the bevvy of technique video games we’re going to see on the Swap primarily based on the Nintendo Direct presentation alone: there’s loads of different issues to play within the meantime, even when Advance Wars 1+2 continues to be delayed. Technique recreation followers are seeing a renaissance of kinds, and the Swap is a superb match for a lot of titles that may have beforehand been relegated to handhelds.
