This is when Advance Wars, Splatoon 3 and Mario Strikers came out

Today’s Nintendo Direct made some big announcements, with Advance Wars, Splatoon 3 and Mario Strikers at the center.

Launching in 2022, Advance Wars 1 + 2 Re-Boot, Splatoon 3, and Mario Strikers will be the first to arrive on Nintendo Switch.

The Advance Wars franchise hasn’t been around for a long time, and it took Nintendo several console generations to revisit the turn-based strategy game.

The good news is that while the classic graphics are being replaced, the gameplay will remain intact and receive some updates to help the participants.

This includes allowing you to rewind turns, as well as being able to fast forward the gameplay. Nintendo also confirmed today that another upgrade will be new voiceovers for the commanders in each game.

New Nintendo Switch game coming soon

Online and local multiplayer matches will be supported on Nintendo Switch Online and come with the bonus of sharing and creating battle maps.

Nintendo also confirmed that the Advance Wars 1 + 2 Re-Boot release date has been scheduled for April 8.

This was followed by more colorful games, including Splatoon 3 and Mario Strikers.

As was confirmed by Nintendo today, Splatoon 3 will arrive in Summer 2022, although we don’t have an official launch date yet.

A message from Nintendo adds: “The next wave of co-op action from Salmon Run is back in Splatoon 3! But with this mysterious new giant Salmonid fish pictured, it can be more of a challenge than wading upstream!

“Join Agent 3 in his fight against the evil Octarian army in story mode. Uncover Alterna, Fuzzy Ooze’s secrets and how they connect with the mode’s theme, “The Return of the Mammals”.

“Stay tuned for more information to be revealed, as the game Splatoon 3 is scheduled for release for the Nintendo Switch in 2022.”

Nintendo Strike Back

Meanwhile, the next installment in the Mario Strikers series – Battle League – will launch on June 10 and include a number of gameplay improvements.

Five-Vs-Five Battle League will feature some highlights from previous games, including usable items and special shots.

Nintendo Switch Mario Strikers will also allow you to equip various items before hitting the field, enhancing your skill list, including speed, strength, and technique.

All three games boast online game modes with varying amounts of players available to play and enjoy local co-op.
