[gimz]

[Amir0x]

Most anticipated DS game, by far. GIVE TO ME, SEXY.

You're only moderately sexy, but i accept.

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Advance Wars without the cartoony design? What the hell? This is like finding out that a new Parasite Eve game is coming, but only for cell phones!

 

[trinest]

and I hope to god its less text more action....

Except you know this game will actually be good

 

[Amir0x]

The new Advance Wars game could be given the Sesame Street license, and as long as it maintained the strategic awesome of the rest of the franchise I'd gladly take my Big Bird unit to Cookie Monster's Chocolate Chip Castle Country and fuck shit up.

The OP didn't (literaly) say AW is losing his cartoon/anime style. It just seems to be more realistic...like a realistic Anime. Or something.

 

[AniHawk]

I just worry if it's going to be in awesome 2D or shitty IntSys 3D. IntSys makes excellent games, but they can't do 3D to save their lives.

 

[Amir0x]

Even if they could do 3D to save their lives, DS can't do 3D to save its life... so 2D only please.

 

[AniHawk]

True. A 3D IntSys DS game would be a double-whammy. It would collapse in on itself in such an alarming rate, not even light would be able to escape its gravitational pull.

 

[Mejilan]

Haha, I was about to post that BATTALION WARS != ADVANCE WARS bitches, but then I read the actual OP.

Something of a surprise, though not an unpleasant one. That said, I could have hoped for a DS FE before a second DS AW. But I wouldn't turn down an absolutely delicious orange just because I'd rather an absolutely delicious apple!

 

[Amir0x]

bad analogy, Mejilan, everyone knows oranges are way fucking better than apples.

 

[Jiggy]

Even if it was IS DS 3D, which it should never, at least it would still be more attractive than Battalion Wars by virtue of character design and being an actual quality game. Mostly the latter.

not like you'd be able to decipher the character designs beneath the army of 3 polygon pixel monsters parading around the map

This is actually very true, as far as FE is concerned, and oranges. But apples can still be awesome!

Not knowing what I'm looking at is better than looking at Battalion Wars.

surprisingly good point!

Touché, sir!

 

[Zeed]

Not knowing what I'm looking at is better than looking at Battalion Wars.

Oh shit!

Anyway let it be said that, at the very least, that is a pretty sweet title screen.

 

[camineet]

so this is basicly Advance Wars Dual Strike 2 ?



ahh and Hudson what about a new Military Madness / Nectaris?

 

[Crocodile]

I'm not totally liking what I'm hearing but I'll believe for now that it will all turn out well. Believe!

 

[grandjedi6]

Yes

and Hudson hasn't made a Miltary Madness/Nectaris since Nectaris for PSX. I doubt we will be getting a new one anytime soon

 

[Mejilan]

I thought there was a Nectaris for PSP announced WAY back when, which then became vaporware (like Landstalker remake dammit!)

 

[Linkup]

They'd better fucking know what they're doing. I'm already pissed about the whole Battalion Wars thing.

IS is doing this, why are you even mentioning BW?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I just worry if it's going to be in awesome 2D or shitty IntSys 3D. IntSys makes excellent games, but they can't do 3D to save their lives.

I doubt IS is willing to put the work in to overhauling the graphics for this game.

 

[Flynn]

IS is doing this, why are you even mentioning BW?

Because I wanted Advance Wars for the GameCube and the Wii, not Battalion Wars. I meant "they" in a larger sense.

 

[camineet]

yeah I read about that too. I've been holding out alot of hope for Nectaris on PSP since it was actually announced (or half heartedly announced)... and even a glimmer of hope for a yet-to-be-announced Nectaris for DS and even Wii. imagine DS><Wii connectivity, both wirelessly and worldwide WiFi.

Yes

cool.

*sobs*

 

[NPC]

Oh no... this is bad - baaaaaaaaaad.
I liked the original artwork and characters. This is crap, crap I say!
...
I'll get over it(if it's good enough).
I will miss it though...

 

[zsidane]

I'm also surprised they had this playable outside of Japan. Was it translated? We could be looking at an early 08 worldwide release.

AW has never been big in Japan.
Add to that that the first two AW on GBA were released on a single cartridge (well after being released in US/PAL), and they still didn't moved decent numbers of copies.

ASH is not Advance Wars.

Titre temporaire? What the hell does that mean!?

This can't be a real question.

More than Contra 4? Blasphemy. imo.

 

[Soul4ger]

Intelligent Systems needs to get on a DS Fire Emblem.

 

[ethelred]

Long since overdue. They should be in the middle of development for FE DS2 right now.

 

[super funk]

AW DS 2 did receive a compelte overhaul in terms of design. Gone are Max, Andy and the others, replaced by a whole new crew. IS went with a whole new, more realistic, miltary look, and quite frankly, it seemed like a pretty wise move
Graphically-wise, the look went with the new design, though it looked pretty much the same. New combat animations were pretty low-quality though, blurry and badly animated. Surely that's gonna be fixed by the time it comes out.

What?! I know that deep down its still Advance Wars but the graphics were so clean and nice looking. Ill stick to Advance Wars DS thanks bye.

Ok thats lie but Im still upset.

 

[KINGMOKU]

Excellent. I dont care if they went with nintendogs duking it out. Made by the same team=awesome.


I now have over 450hours sunk into AWS, and if this one can keep me inthralled for even half that time, it'll be a winner in my book.


The fresh coat of paint is a good thing as well. For those of you, like me who have played the ever lovin' hell out of the last three, you want to see some new faces, and some new things.


BRING IT ON!

 

[A Link to the Past]

I hope that it isn't hyper realistic or even partially, like BW. The most I want is realistic anime style.

 

[guldakot]

First try at one of these

:lol

You asked for it Amir0x!

 

[Amir0x]

hehee, it's crude but somehow effective. Probably because you made it with my quote in mind. But also probably because Big Bird shooting a missile is inherently comedic!

really rusty will get better for sales charts

 

[NotWii]

I don't mind this art change, AW2 and DS had some really dramatic moody artwork for beating chapters

But WTF at the logo, so plain!

And give us game screenshots!

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I hope this rocks.

 

[DataBot]

I liked BW a great game, why so much hate ?

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

Nintendo is a big expert in "how to destroy the hype for every possible game". Why didn't they annouce it formally ?

It has been in their European releaselist since E3.

Why NOA didn't say anything at all at E3 ? Is it really possible that NOE know more then NOA ?

Europe seems to be getting a lot of things before NA or things that NA doesn't get at all. Especially on the Virtual Console.
