Tomorrow is a big day for Nintendo DS owners. The Advance Wars series has been a bellwether of terrific strategy gaming on Nintendo's hand held systems in America since the original game for the GameBoy Advance.

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is the latest in the series and the second to hit the DS. Some important changes this time around should help Nintendo grow the series further:

1. A darker, more gritty art style, which is more compatible to the western audience.
2. Wi-fi play over the internet. YEAH!!!!!!! (Sorry, hard to contain my enthusiasm).

IGN.com reviewed the game and gave it an 8.6. You better bet we'll be reviewing it here at House of Nintendo also.
