In one of the strangest stories from the weekend, it seems that WayForward’s anticipated strategy releaseAdvance Wars 1+2: ReBoot Campwas rendered fully playable… by one single Switch owner.
Twitter user “Rachael” (@killetheth) posted images pulled directly from the incoming release, which was seeminglyavailable to launch live from their Switch Lite unit, (though they are unable to access the title, from the same account, on their “main” Nintendo Switch hardware). While some responders raised eyebrows at the authenticity of the story, Rachael followed up with screens pulled from theAdvance Wars 1+2tutorial mode, as well as its Mission Select screens. It all looks pretty legitimate.

The remake was expected to launch in December of 2020, but wasinitially delayed to April 8for further tweaking, before thenhaving its launch postponedin the wake of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. As such,Advance Wars 1+2is likely long-gone-gold and ready to launch — sitting on WayForward’s servers and just waiting for the go-ahead from Nintendo. Thus it is completely possible that some bizarre glitch in the matrix opened the door for Rachael to somehow access the title.
Advance Wars 1+2: ReBoot Campwill officially launch on Nintendo Switch in 2022.
