Advance Wars DS - First Screenshots and Details

DS News | Nintendo’s number one strategy series bound for the NDS.
Nintendo has today unveiled first details and screenshots on their latest entry into the Nintendo DS library, Advance Wars DS.

The game will use the assistance of the NDS’s dual screens to enhanced the strategy required in each battle. During battles, gamers will now be presented with two separate scenarios for each screen, the top screen showing air-based maps and with the bottom screen showing ground-based maps. Nintendo has confirmed that the NDS system has added an array of unique opportunities that’ll allow players to strategize their attacks and movements from both the air and the ground in a single round.

Advance Wars DS will utilize WiFi that will allow for multiple gamers to play against one another. The actual number of players and further details regarding the games multiplayer has yet to be discussed in full detail, although we can only expect that more will be revealed within the next month.

Advance Wars DS is scheduled to be released in Japan this year. In the meantime, check out the media panel for the first screenshots of the game in action.

I'm looking forward to this one, Advanced Wars is one of my all time favourite GBA games. Hopefully the stylus willl be well implemented. Although the graphics don't look that different which is a bit of a worry...?

I believe the actual game is 3D.

I cant wait for it, Advance Wars 2 is my most played GBA game. icon_biggrin.gif
It does seem to have a 3D-ish look to it, but still keeping the 2D perspective. It'll be interesting to see how the touch screen is used.
