''Advance Wars 64'' would have followed the same format as other games in the ''Wars'' series which is a tactical role-playing game. Players would oversee a 2d map, but when battles would occur, the battles would render in 3d. Additionally, the game would have utilized the Gameboy Transfer Pack with ''GameBoy Wars 2'' to gain access to several features, such as the ability to transfer match progress between the systems. The menu for this function still appears in ''GameBoy Wars 2'', but can't be used.
