Nintendo's Advance Wars for Switch on Hold Due to 'Recent World Events'
The delay follows Russia's invasion of neighboring Ukraine last month.
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp's release has been delayed.
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp won't be hitting Nintendo Switch on April 8 as planned, the company said Wednesday, due to "recent world events." The news comes two weeks after Russian military forces invaded Ukraine.
"In light of recent world events, we have made the decision to delay Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, which was originally scheduled to release on Nintendo Switch on 08/04," Nintendo wrote in a tweet. "Please stay tuned for updates on a new release date."
