…Kind of
The last entry in theAdvance Warsseries,Days of Ruin(2008), never released in Japan. Weird, right?
Well, in news that no one expected,Advance Wars: Days of Ruinhas been made available in Japan as a downloadableClub Nintendo Platinum-level members gift. Platinum members can nab it and a 2014 calendar as their prize,. The game will also be made available next May as a regular prize that can be purchased with 800 coins. It is being distributed as a 3DS eShop download.
I don’t want to read too much into this, butFire Emblem: Awakening‘s great successsaved the franchise from being canned. Maybe its also given developer Intelligent Systems some wiggle room to bring back theAdvance Warsseries? Would be nice.
