Yup, I thought this was another incredible dumb decision by Nintendo, but with that subtitle it makes sense to make the Direct a bit more low-key in the UK. But the delay of Advance Wars still waits for its justification to this day. There's always war somewhere in this world, so making a sudden exception because of Ukraine never sat well with me. Nevermind that Advance Wars does not use realistic graphics nor is it based on any real world scenarios, so who in their right mind would have had an issue with its original release date? Ironically, Triangle Strategy did not get delayed despite its story of a war-hungry country setting up fishy reasoning to invade another country while the player takes on the roles of the portion of the invaded country that features a flag with the colors blue and yellow. |
Nintendo still doesn't want to provide any additional information other than "it's delayed"
I asked Nintendo if Advance Wars 1 + 2 has been cancelled, given the lack of news about it since it was delayed due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Nintendo rep's reply: "The release has been delayed. We will announce the new date once it has been determined."
