This is great because Nintendo charging $60 for Advance Wars Re-boot Camp on the Switch was way too high for me to consider it.

And it didn't piggyback into a new title. I suppose there's still time for that, but not really. It was just a half-assed re-release, with the Nintendo price tag. They're not even the best AW games.

Plus the move away from pixel graphics really hurt the asthetic, but I think they knew without doing something graphically that people wouldn't fork over $60.

It was hyped up until Russia invaded Ukraine, then they cancelled the launch date because of that. True story.

Then it was unceremoniously released at a way later date.
