"Forget everything you know about hand-held
combat strategy games. With this week's release of Advance Wars®: Days of Ruin for
Nintendo DS(tm), Nintendo is calling on strategy buffs of all stripes to save the
planet with a new set of combat-ready characters, captivating visuals and
extraordinary wireless features. For new recruits and Advance Wars veterans alike,
Nintendo wants you!
"Days of Ruin is much more than just a new chapter in the Advance Wars series," says 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." Kicking off a bold new story in the series, Advance Wars: Days of Ruin imagines a dark future in which a devastating meteor strike has transformed the planet into a perilous battleground, fraught with disease and barbaric enemy forces. Players must use sharp turn-based strategy to lead their own heroic unit on a mission to restore humanity, rendered in an exciting new dual-screen graphics scheme. Players can use local networking or Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection to enjoy limitless replay by designing and sharing their own maps or facing opponents in faraway places. Solo players can command their troops in a series of tactical skirmishes, while the Free Battle mode allows up to four players to challenge one another using one Nintendo DS system. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is one of two games Nintendo is releasing this week that demonstrate the way the company has something for all types of gamers. While Advance Wars: Days of Ruin for Nintendo DS is a classic battle strategy game, Endless Ocean(tm) for Wii(tm) invents a new genre of video games as it takes users on a remarkable underwater journey of exploration.
