About Advance Wars
A 2001 Game Boy Advance turn-based strategy game where opposing commanders deploy infantry, tanks, and aircraft to capture territory on grid-based battlefields.
Orange Star's commanding officer has been accused of attacking other countries, causing war to ensue. The battle lines have been drawn, and an elite group of sly strategists is massing troops at the borders of your homeland. In the face of invasion, you have been entrusted to play as tactical adviser for the Orange Star Army. Command 18 different types of ground, air and naval units if you hope to survive the coming wars. Take caution of the terrain and weather as you lead your forces in 114 maps of turn-based warfare. This classic game is part of the Virtual Console service, which brings you great games created for consoles such as NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ Advance. We hope you'll enjoy the new features (including off-TV play) that have been added to this title. See more Virtual Console games for Wii U.
