Advance Wars Inspired ‘Tiny Metal’ Gets a Sequel


Posted on July 16, 2019 by Rae Michelle Richards

Nintendo might not have published an Advanced Wars title in 11 years but that hasn’t stopped the developers at Area 35 from picking up the flag and marching towards their objective of bringing turn based portable warfare into the modern era. Just over a year and a half after releasing the first Tiny Metal, their back with Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble on Nintendo Switch and Windows PC.

Three modes of play are available in the full version of Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble – Campaign which features over 39 missions to test your skill against. Skirmish, which allow commanders to set their own difficulty and other conditions with 77 additional challenges to tackle. Lastly is the Skirmish mode which allow two commanders to go head to head in 1 Vs. 1 tactical battles.

A demo version of Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble is also available on the Nintendo E-Shop in addition to the full game. The demo version will allow you to try out the first 3 Campaign missions as well as 2 maps from the Skirmish mod, which includes a demo-exclusive unit.

Tiny Metal: Full Metal Rumble is priced at $14.99 USD.

Nier: Automata Director Yoko Taro Collaborates With Tiny Metal Developers For Promo


Posted on December 5, 2017 by Rae Michelle Richards

Get ready for the promotional crossover you didn’t know you needed in your life – Director of Nier: Automata Yoko Taro alongside the Director / Producer of the upcoming Tiny Metal Hiroki Yura, promoting the upcoming December 21st release of Tiny Metal on PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC. 

It is clear from the get-go that Yoko Taro didn’t play more than 5 minutes of the tutorial, as he states as much several times throughout the 2-minute video. When asked to comment about the soundtrack, Taro unabashedly admits that he couldn’t really hear it during his brief gameplay session but promises that it must be amazing. To be honest, I’m not discouraged or even criticizing Yoko Taro here, this is exactly what I would expect from a crossover promotion featuring the director of Neir, and I love every second of it. 

Tiny Metal takes cues from Nintendo’s long-abandoned Advanced Wars franchise and seems to be an unofficial spiritual successor to it. It was recently delayed from its intended late November release date to the upcoming December 21st release window.
