While tactical strategy games are bountiful these days, that wasn’t always the case. While Fire Emblem gets all the credit these days, Advance Wars was the franchise that truly perfected the idea of handheld strategy. Dual Strike is the third game in the Advance Wars series, and the first released on the Nintendo DS — making full use of the dual-screen feature. It’s honestly a huge shame that Advance Wars hasn’t remained an active series for Nintendo, outside of the remake on Nintendo Switch. With strategy games on the cusp of a resurgence, hopefully, Dual Strike can be superseded as the pinnacle of Advance Wars someday.
