Advance Wars is a turn-based tactics video game developed for the Game Boy Advance by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo in 2001.^[2] It was released in the USA on September 10, 2001, but put on hold in Japan and Europe due to the following day's terrorist attacks in the USA.^[3] Although released in Europe in January 2002, neither GBA game was released in Japan until the Game Boy Wars Advance 1+2 compilation on November 25, 2004.

Advance Wars is the first game in the Advance Wars series of video games, followed by Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (also for the Game Boy Advance), and then by Advance Wars: Dual Strike and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin for the Nintendo DS.

Plot

The story of the Advance Wars campaign begins with the nation of Orange Star in a war against the neighbouring country of Blue Moon. As a tactical adviser for Orange Star, the player follows the war effort through all four countries over the course of the game. In the end, it is revealed that the enigmatic Black Hole Army, under the command of Sturm, is the true enemy. Using a CO doppelganger clone of Andy, Sturm stirred up war among the four countries in order to confuse, weaken, and eventually conquer them. Once this is revealed, the four countries unite to drive Black Hole out of their land.

Gameplay

The objective is to defeat the enemy army. There are two ways to defeat an opponent: destroy every one of his units on the map or capture his headquarters. However, some maps have specific objectives, such as capturing a certain number of cities to claim victory. The available modes of play include a campaign mode which carries the game's storyline, the "war room" which is a collection of maps on which the player strives for high scores, as well as multiplayer modes and a map design mode.

Battle system

The battles of Advance Wars are turn-based in nature. Two to four armies, each headed by a commanding officer, take turns building and commanding units on grid-based maps.

All units are limited in the types of units they can attack. What dictates a unit’s ability to attack different targets are its primary and secondary weapons. For example, the Mech unit has a bazooka that can only be fired at land vehicles, but are more powerful for that purpose than their secondary weapons, machine guns, which Mechs can use against other Mechs, Infantry, and helicopters.

The amount of damage done to the enemy in combat is proportional to the number of hit points the attacker has. The majority of the weapons have a limited supply of ammunition. Units with secondary weapons will resort to these when their primary weapon's ammunition runs out.

Terrain

The terrain on a map affects unit movement, vision, and the defense attribute of units stationed in the terrain. Weather conditions can also affect vision and movement of ground units. Fog of war may also be enabled, whereby a player's vision depends on the individual units' lines of sight, which varies from unit to unit.

Units

There are 18 different types of military units in Advance Wars. Each unit has a set amount of attack power, vision range in Fog of war, movement range and type, and fuel supply, and most units have two weapons which can be used against different types of enemy units. There are both direct and indirect attack units, as well as transport units. All of the units are either infantry, vehicles, ships or air units. Units have specific strengths and weaknesses.

Multiplayer

In Multiplayer mode, players can compete against the AI or against other human players. Multiplayer matches feature a variety of settings that can be changed pre-battle. Multiplayer comes in two forms: Versus mode and Link mode. In Versus mode, only one GBA system is used, which every participant in the game uses. One person will take their turn, then pass the system to the next person. Link mode is the same game as Versus mode gameplay-wise, but multiple consoles are used, one for each person. It can be played with just one game pak or with one game pak per player.

Commanding officers

Armies are led by Commanding Officers (COs) who control units. All COs except Andy provide units with special advantages and/or disadvantages, such as extra firepower or a longer unit range. COs also have a Power Meter which fills up by defeating enemy units or when on the receiving end of a brutal offensive attack. When the meter is full, a CO can unleash his or her CO Power, which gives a temporary positive effect to friendly units and/or a negative effect to enemy units.

Development

In January 2001, Nintendo France gave new Game Boy Advance screenshots exclusively to French gaming sites. Amongst them were new screenshots for Game Boy Wars Advance.^[4] At the time, very little information was given.^[5] Four player mode was confirmed before E3 2001 and with it a US release date of September 10.^[6]

The Japanese version, titled Game Boy Wars Advance, was originally scheduled for an October 12, 2001 release, a month after the North American version.^[7] However, due to the events of the September 11 attacks, Nintendo canceled the originally scheduled Japanese release of the game. It was eventually released in a two-in-one compilation in 2004 with its sequel, Game Boy Wars Advance 2.

Later A few people including Andrew Tullsen and others created a Print and Play Board game.

Reception

According to Julian Gollop, developer of X-COM and Rebelstar: Tactical Command, Advance Wars, besides being influential, opened up the market for similar games on handheld video game systems.^[8] It was rated the 26th best game made on a Nintendo System in Nintendo Power's Top 200 Games list.^[9] IGN gave it a score of 9.9 out of 10, the highest score given for a Game Boy Advance game on the site, and ranked it #4 in the Top 25 GBA Games of All Time.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

Characters

Brenner

• ...

Waylon

• It's time for Waylon to do some whalin'!
• Easy, brother man! I paid a lot for this haircut, and you're spittin' all over it. So how goes the charity work? Keeping busy making soup and handing out blankets?
• Time out, Captain Courageous! You want Waylon to join forces with YOU? Listen to me now. I think you're a good man. I'll even give you a standing ovation. Clap, clap. But if you think I'm going to do charity work,you need to think again! I didn't survive the meteors just to risk myself fora bunch of chumps!

Tabitha

• The weak disgust me.
• That wasn't even worth the trouble.
• Come on! At least fight back!
• Enemy coordinates entered... now let's enjoy the show!

Caulder

• After countless failed experiments, I finally realized my ambition. I then used my own clones to further my research! Do you know what it is like to watch yourself die? ...It is FASCINATING!

Dialogue

Will: Captain Brenner? Can you give me any tips for the upcoming battle?

Brenner: Of course. I'd be glad to. Hold on one second... ...Blast! Now where did I put those...

Will: Did you lose something, Captain?

Brenner: Lin gave me some notes for this tactics session, but I can't seem to find them. Ah ha! Here they are! ...Oh, wait. That's just a drawing of a tank I made when I was bored...

Will: Um...Captain? Are you really getting all your strategy from Lin? Maybe you should keep that a secret from the rest of the troops...

Brenner: She's a natural teacher, Will. I'm just not much for that kind of thing. Yes! Here they are! OK, let's see what she has to say...

Brenner: "Captain. Tell Will to quickly capture factories and cities. He needs to defend his foot soldiers with other units as they do so. The area southeast of the factory will make an ideal defensive perimeter. If the enemy swarms you, retreat to this area and regroup. And have him build an anti-tank unit for the enemy's war tank." That's it.

Will: Is that all?

Brenner: Yes, that's... Oh, wait a second. "P.S. Don't just read this to Will. Pretend you thought of it yourself." ...Damn.

---

Will: Sooooo... I'm in charge, but you're really in charge. Is that it?

Lin: Precisely. I know you lack military knowledge and all but the most basic tactical awareness. Right now, I'd only trust you with low-level military tasks. Like cleaning.

Will: Ouch! Geez, Lin, don't sugarcoat it for me or anything.

Lin: ...What? Too harsh? OK, hold on a second. OK, imagine that I'm a big car, and you're a little car. Now, when the big car--

Will: Stop. Please stop right now. I get it. Please don't talk to me like a little kid.

---

Brenner: Why don't you come down here so we can talk that over, Waylon?

Waylon: No thanks, brother man. My mama didn't raise no dummies. Why are you sticking your neck out like this anyway, Brenner? You think any of this makes a difference? I just don't get it.

Brenner: And you never will.

Waylon: Fine by me, brother man. Fine by me. Say, you remember what I said the first time we met? I TOLD you this responsibility gig would lead to an early grave.

Brenner: Better early to the grave than late to your own humanity, Waylon.

Waylon: Ain't that a thing. Almost makes me feel bad about what I'm gonna do. All units! Target Captain Brenner! Time to bag ourselves a hero!

---

Will: Lin? Uh, I mean, sir? Hello? ...Lin, is that you?

The Beast: Gwar har har! Guess again, loser!

Will: Eep! ...Wait, what are you doing here?

The Beast: Givin' tactical advice! What does it look like I'm doin'?

---

Gage: Tasha, we have to retreat.

Tasha: What? Why?! Call in reinforcements, Gage! I want to keep fighting!

Gage: Orders from General Forsythe.

Tasha: But...WHY?! Look at them! Those Rubinelle forces are lame ducks!

Gage: Tasha? It was a direct order.

Tasha: Dammit!

Gage: Calm down. There's no place for emotion on the battlefield. Stay cool, follow orders, and eliminate the enemy. That is all we have to do.

Tasha: Gya! I'll get revenge on all those Rubes! I swear it!

---

Lin: Let's see... Cooking... Well, to master the art of battlefield cuisine, you need to use whatever is at hand. ...Oh look! A rat! That's great. Today we'll make a rat stew.

Isabella: Rat...stew?

Lin: Yes. Rats are an excellent source of protein and vitamins.

Isabella: Um...OK. Well, I guess I'll try to... Ew! Please don't give that to me!

Lin: Now, while our rat is simmering, let's discuss the upcoming battle.

---

Caulder: In my youth, enormous progress had been made in the field of cloning. But while technically feasible, there was ethical resistance to the idea.

[Cutscene of a grinning Caulder]

Caulder: I rejected such pretty concerns and chose to clone myself!

Will: Y-you cloned yourself?

Caulder: After countless failed experiments, I finally realized my ambition. I then used my own clones to further my research! Do you know what it is like to watch yourself die? ...It is FASCINATING!

Will: You're insane!

Caulder: Do not interrupt! These clones were used to grow organs that could be transplanted into me. But then something went wrong... The clones began to...feel. They resented being used in such a way...and they fought back. After a brief, fierce war, only one cloned survived... AND I AM THAT SURVIVOR!

Will: But that means... Wait, you're--

Caulder: Yes. I am a clone. And I killed my creator!

Advance Wars is a turn-based strategy video game developed for the Game Boy Advance by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo in 2001. It was released in the USA on September 10, 2001, but put on hold in Japan and Europe due to the following day's terrorist attacks in the USA. Although released in Europe in January 2002, neither GBA game was released in Japan until the Game Boy Wars Advance 1+2 compilation on November 25, 2004.

The story of the Advance Wars campaign begins with the nation of Orange Star in a war against the neighbouring country of Blue Moon. As a tactical adviser for Orange Star, the player follows the war effort through all four countries over the course of the game. In the end, it is revealed that the enigmatic Black Hole Army, under the command of Sturm, is the true enemy. Using a CO doppelganger clone of Andy, Sturm stirred up war among the four countries in order to confuse, weaken, and eventually conquer them. Once this is revealed, the four countries unite to drive Black Hole out of their land.

Unlocking COs

When you first play Advance Wars, the only COs avaliable to you are Andy, Max, and Sami. However, as you progress through the game, you will be able to unlock other COs for use in the War Room and in Versus mode. The ways to unlock them are:

• Olaf - Choose Andy at level 4, Max Strikes!
• Grit - Choose Max at level 4, Max Strikes!
• Kanbei - No special requirements; he unlocks automatically the first time you complete the campaign.
• Sonja - Defeat Kanbei in the his first level in 8 or fewer days, second level in 10 (or fewer) days, and third level in 12 (or fewer) days. When you defeat Kanbei with the right time requirements, you will get Sonja once you complete the three missions against her.
• Drake - Choose Andy for all four Green Earth Missions (against Drake & Eagle)
• Eagle - Choose Sami for all four Green Earth Missions (against Drake & Eagle)
• Sturm - Unlock every other COs besides Nell.
• Nell - Unlock Sturm.

Note that after fulfilling the above conditons, that campaign must then be completed. After that, the CO(s) appears in Battle Maps for purchase.
