Advance Wars: Dual Strike is launching on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, according to Nintendo’s website.
The listing provides the following overview:
“On the heels of its last defeat, the nefarious Black Hole Army has fallen under the control of a deadly new commanding officer. He has sent its new COs to attack the nations of Wars World once again, and it’s up to the allied armies of Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet and Green Earth to put an end to Black Hole once and for all. Players lead their new Commanding Officers to fend off the Black Hole Army’s latest invasion. With massive battles that sweep across both screens, Advance Wars: Dual Strike will change the face of Dual-Screen warfare forever.”
The first Advance Wars came to the eShop back in April 2014. That was followed by Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising last August.
Advance Wars: Dual Strike will cost $9.99.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Nintendo and SCRAP announced earlier this month that an escape room-esque experience based on The Legend of Zelda is on the way. Events will be held beginning early next year.
Unfortunately, tickets sold out soon after they went live. Additional ones were made available one day following the announcement, but those went quickly as well. But there is good news: even more tickets are being distributed in just a few days.
Those who are interested in the San Francisco and Phoenix events should be on the lookout on December 2 at 12 PM PT. The same time also applies to Los Angeles and San Diego, but on December 5.
