Peggle DS Gets A Release Date [Peggle]

Oh dear. No sooner do I ween myself off my chronic Advance Wars: Days of Ruin addiction than we get a release date for Peggle DS. That date is March 3, 2009. Wonderful.

Days of Ruins New Units

In my impressions of the campaign mode of Advance Wars Days of Ruin I mention that there are a few new units that pop up in the game.

The new units also add a couple of twists to gameplay. For instance, rigs can build temporary ports and airports. Other new units include motorcycle-mounted infantry units, a land or air attacking Duster plane, a mobile anti-tank unit and a unit that can shoot a flare to reveal hidden units.

ESRB Rates New Virtual Console Games [Wii]

Also worth noting is a rating for Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, which sports an E10+ rating. A bit surprising, considering the darker nature of the Nintendo DS sequel and Nintendo's own expectations of a T rating.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin Hands On Impressions

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin also takes the series back a step, gameplay-wise. The Dual Strike CO powers from the previous Nintendo DS Advance Wars are gone, and CO powers in general are said to have been toned down. The tides of war won't turn so easily this time.
