Nintendo has today announced that its popular Advance Wars series of turn-based strategy games is headed to the Nintendo DS. Advance Wars DS will take advantage of a number of the upcoming handheld's unique features, including its touch screen and wireless connectivity.

Advance Wars DS will boast all-new missions and a number of new CO characters, and the new battle system will see players using the bottom touch screen to issue orders to their ground forces while commanding their air forces on the top screen. Multiplayer battles will employ the handheld's wireless connectivity feature, although it's not yet clear how many players will be able to participate in a single battle. Stay tuned for more information on Advance Wars DS from Nintendo's Gamer's Summit.


The current line-up of games doesn't interest me enough to buy a DS right away, but I love Advance Wars and will get a DS when this game comes out in January.

I thought it was announced months ago? I know I've seen movies of it in earlier september.

I love Advance Wars also. :D I'm not buying a DS right now either, but next year when the library has increased, I might be getting one.

Does the DS still support WiFi? Is that what is meant by "wireless connectivity"?

[GameMaster]

This article suggests so. And it also suggests Nintendo is going to unleash connectivity in a completley new, revolutionary way that will rock the gaming world with a force of 10 on the Richter scale.

Where did you get the idea that it wouldn't have WiFi? :)

I'm really looking forward to this... I'll probably import a DS, sell it before the EU launch and hopefully make a little profit there. ;)

INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS BETTER RELEASE IT WITH MICROPHONE SUPPORT OR I'LL RIP THEIR HEADS OFF

Then go back to praising them for Fire Emblem GC.
