Review Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (Wii U eShop / GBA)
Just like a black hole, it'll suck up hours of your time
With the first Advance Wars being a hit on the GBA not long after the system launched, it was no wonder that a sequel would eventually follow. Released about two years later, Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising feels very much like an expansion pack, but one that is still more than worth the...

Pixels against polygons
Beyond a few Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Advance Wars series hasn't seen a skirmish in thirteen years. At this point, we'd assumed this tactical, army-based RPG had been long forgotten, considering the developers Intelligent Systems have their flagship series, Fire Emblem, to fill that tactical gap. Then,...

Yeah, I'll be downloading this.
me too
Same here. Although, it makes me want to play AW: Dual Strike, which sounded AWESOME!!
This was my first ever game on my GBA SP (NES edition) and is still, to this day, is one of the best games I’ve ever played! It’s what got me into Fire Emblem: Fates (after I saw that it was created by the same company of Intelligent Systems so I knew that it was a mark of quality gameplay already) and am overjoyed that it’s FINALLY getting a rerelease on a modern platform (after the 3DS was bypassed but it’s ok,there’s FE and also the DS sequels of Advance Wars such as Dual Strike which are easily available). A must-buy for any self-respecting gamer!
