Nintendo Releases New Advance Wars For DS

Nintendo announced the release of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin today, the latest installment in the company's popular handheld combat strategy franchise. Bringing a bold new story to the Advance Wars franchise, Days of Ruin throws players into a dark future, in which a devastating meteor strike has transformed the planet into a disease ridden battleground, full of enemy forces. Players will have to use brilliantly planned strategies to lead their own heroic unit on a mission to restore humanity.

“ Days of Ruin is much more than just a new chapter in the Advance Wars series,” said Nintendo of Canada vice-president and general manager Ron Bertram. “Our core gamers continue to buzz about the game’s post-apocalyptic storyline, new characters and stylized graphics that bring a totally fresh experience to the series. The focus on strategy beyond raw firepower makes it more rewarding than typical war games.”

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is now available for Nintendo DS for 29.99 $USD and CAD and is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and up.
