[Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wargroove-2) announced the release date, price, and other product information for the upcoming title 'Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp.' Advance Wars 1 was originally released on the [GameBoy Advance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gameboy-color) handheld game console in 2001, followed by the sequel released on the same console two years later in 2003.

The Advance Wars series is respected for its deep turn-based gameplay, colorful cartoon artstyle, and engaging storyline. The bundled remakes deliver improvements in nearly every aspect, while still maintaining the original story and paying respect to the franchise. The remakes have full 1080p resolutions, enhanced visuals, additional content to explore, and more. Essentially, this remake brings the Advance Wars series from a [nostalgic title from the early 2000s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anbernic-rg34xx) to an engaging modern title for new audiences and long-time fans alike.
