Advance Wars DS Announced
Nintendo announced today that its very popular Advance Wars series of turn-based strategy games is headed to the Nintendo DS and is set for a June 23 release in Japan. The game is being developed by Intelligent Systems who made the original Advanced War games as well as the excellent Paper Mario and Fire Emblem games. Advanced Wars DS is slated to hit the U.S. on October 9.
Little is known about the game at this time but it will boost all-new missions, several new CO characters, and a new battle system where players use bottom touch screen to issue orders to their ground forces while the top screen is used to command their air forces. Multiplayer battles will employ the handheld's wireless connectivity feature, although it's not yet clear how many players will be able to participate in a single battle.
