Titled Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (or Advance Wars: Dark Conflict), the story was completely separate from the last three games’ canon taking place in a post-apocalyptic world. In January of 2008, the last DS game under the Advance Wars name would release in North American and European audiences. It was the last of three games to follow the story campaign of the first Advance Wars on Game Boy Advance. In June 2005, Advance Wars: Dual Strike was released on the Nintendo DS. The 1st game sold 700,000 units, while the second game sold 650,000. While receiving a lot of positive reviews, it was criticized for feeling like a rehash of its predecessor. In June 2003, the sequel, titled Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising was released to American and European Stores. The original Advance Wars received a 5-star review in Nintendo Power’s October 2001 Magazine review, with the reviewers commenting on how it trod new ground for gaming at the time, with intense strategy mechanics that made for a battle of wits and played like an intense board game. The Famicom Wars series would eventually hit North America and PAL regions in late 2001, where it would be branded as Advance Wars. A total of six games were released throughout the late ’80s and ’90s under the "Wars" franchise name (early ads for the series seen below). The series debuted in Japan in August 1988 with the original Famicom Wars.
