Flashback Fridays: Advance Wars 2 (GBA)

Oh boy was I looking forward to this episode! I almost debuted Pokémon Emerald, but decided to play something different, something that I had also spent countless hours on, and I found this game at the bottom of a case of GBA games, and almost instantaneously I knew this would be the game for this spot. I decided to stray from the regular gameplay and did a little freestyle on this one. I hope you all enjoy Advance Wars 2. ________________________________________________________________________ Game: Advance Wars 2 Developer(s): Intelligent Systems Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Game Boy Advance Release: November 25, 2004 (Japan; as part of Advance Wars 1+,2), June 23, 2004 (North America) Overlay Credit: Credit goes to SusGoART for the retro overlays.
