It launches later in 2017 - will you be buying? Let us know with a comment.

Highly possible buy this 😬
Yes, I will be buying. Turn-based strategy on the big screen, hell yeah!!
Oh please Nintendo Life, don't make an article about every title announced.
Mercia kinda creeps me out lol
Day one purchase
This looks awesome. Great title to hold us over for fire emblem switch next year
Nindies do what Nintendon't
That's some insanely ugly character art, but everything else is gonna be a dream. Glad someone finally decided to fill this niche rather than yet another Metroidvania.
This i like! (say it with the deep voice of Yoda)
I hope to see 3D games with a concept like this soon.
I am all over this. Such a great time to be a tactics fan.
Was so excited when this showed up... Dang I feel like booting up Dual Strike once more!
Reminds me of some old school koei strategy games. So naturally...sold/day one.
We were just talking about this in the Live chat. Advance Wars has never had online multi so it'll be a first. Hope they get it right and it sells well enough to get a good player base online. I'll play this for countless hours if so.
@Frosty_09 Someone in the chat said they thought it had but then popped in the cart to check and said it only had local.
@Frosty_09 @OorWullie
Frosty is right, Days of Ruin had online multiplayer I played it. In fact, shockingly it had online chat within that online multiplayer. IT WAS AWESOME
"Advance Wars and Fire Emblem"
So was I the only one who immediately remembered Langrisser series instead? XD
Barring some sort of gameplay disaster , this is mine!
@Frosty_09 @leo13 Ah well, it'll be a first for me haha.
If they get this right I'll totally be in.
Really enjoy these kinds of games and miss Advance Wars. Unless they mess it up I'll be buying this.
Looks really solid. I've been wanting an Advance Wars-esque game for years now. If it reviews well, I'll definitely pick it up.
This looked very good. Had the presentation on in the background while making tea and this caught my eye and made me stop.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy
OH NO! It's almost like they want to inform readers about game releases!
THE NERVE. [clutches pearls]
Bloody love Advance Wars,hope Ninty make a new one but this looks cool
@TossedLlama I didn't have a headset. You had to push X to turn on the 3DS microphone so most people never realized it, but my buddy and I used it all the time
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Why would they not? Sure as heck beats everyone trying to talk about every game in the same thread.
This is the game that has my interest the most. I'll admit I am an advance wars junkie, I got into fire emblem because my friend told me to try it. Can't say it's a must buy, seeing as I would rather play fire emblem lol.
If this is priced aggressively and/or has a physical release I'm sure I'll bite. Is this like a fantasy version of advance wars, like dragons instead of helicopters?
Hell yeah, I'm excited for this. I've played every Fire Emblem in the whole series except Radiant Dawn (because I'm currently playing through Path of Radiance and am almost at the end). Needless to say, I'm stoked.
@roadrunner343 HEY DID YOU HEAR ABOUT RUNN--oh.
Yes yes yes yes!!!
Gimme NOOOOOOOW!
This is my kinda game! Wow, the Switch line up is looking better and better everyday. Can't wait for E3!!
Looks quite simplistic tbh.
@nhSnork Nope! I also thought "Langrisser then".
The moment I saw this, I was like OMG we're getting a Medieval Advance Wars game on Switch! HAHA. I will absolutely be picking this title up (or I guess downloading on the eShop is more appropriate descriptor). Looks like it'll be a lot of fun and I'm happy to see a battlefield creator is coming out for this game (I loved that mode in some of the Advance Wars games)!
Definitely the highlight of the showcase for me.
Fantasy Advanced Wars, I am down!
@TossedLlama It's not. They took down all the DS and Wii online gaming servers awhile ago
@Frosty_09 Lin. I was a kid and I thought she was cute
It looks amazing.
Advance Wars? Omg yes.
I need it.
This is cool. By the way my days of ruin had a game killing bug that ended it for me.
Cant wait for this game!!
Looks great cant wait to get hold of this one!
Looks pretty sweet. Makes you wonder where the hell any new first party Advance Wars games are. I mean, it's basically one of the very best series out there.
I'm surprised Nintendo even allowed this, it's a blatant rip off of Advance Wars
I am Queen Mercia, prepare to die.
@EternalDragonX
It's different enough. No different than FAST Racing RMX and F-Zero. There are considerable differences if you're a fan. To the casual onlooker I imagine they look identical though.
I'll need to check this out.
The fact that it supports up to 4 players and allows for custom maps is also really cool IMO.
I want this so bad.
Advance Wars-esque tactics game? Yes freakin' please.
I always wanted Advanced Wars to come back, but with Jake, Max, Hawke and Andy playable in Mechs.
Bruh... Why aren't IS funding this?
Loving this one. That's another point in the 'buy switch sooner rather than later' column
Sorry to say but looks a typical clone of a good game, it always bugs me that they have to copy rather than trying new things. I was excited in the early days of 'indie' developers being given a chance to shine, but all too often they take that BS business strategy of making a buck of the back of something else.
My guess is that a real Advanced Wars game made by IS would be the most likely place for my money. (If that ever happens!)
Looks boring, IMAO.
I loved Advance Wars (wish Nintendo would make a new one), and I love Fire Emblem, so I'm definitely interested in getting this.
I have missed advance wars so much looks like this will scratch that itch might make me get a switch earlier than thought.
@JaxonH Much different than Fast RMX, War Groove literally uses the same game pallete, art style AND gameplay. Fast RMX is just a futuristic racer
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Ye, they could just make one big article...
