Are you sure? Gamestop shows that the game is only $9.99 used, and there seem to be plenty of copies in the Gamestops near my area.

Dragona Akehi said:Well there was the GameBoy WARS series (three games) which was by Hudson, but that was it. They weren't that great compared to the IntSys developed games (obviously).
I'm not "confusing" the two styles. I already noted one difference (and I never said there were only a few more folds in their clothing, so I don't know where you got that) and I could probably note more if I wanted to. Like the lines of Jake's neck being done with shadows while Ed's are lines.Shig said:You're out of your goddamn mind. They're not exactly polar ends of the spectrum or anything, but the style is different by much more than 'a few more folds in their clothing'. The difference is more akin to, say, Batman the Animated Series vs. Batman drawn by Jim Lee. Thematically they may be conveying the same thing, but you'd have to be a flippin' moron to confuse the two styles.
Sad_Panda said:Yup, IS is developing AW DS 2. Saw their logo when I went back to the title screen.

This is the true double-edged sword.super funk said:What seems to be apparent is that IS looks to be starting the series anew. New nations, new characters, new graphics etc. I dont care about having the old characters return, just as long as we get identical versions of the best characters in.

Absolutely yes. Best DS game ever.Souldriver said:Confession: I've never played AW before. Should I buy the first one to check it out?
Dragona Akehi said:It definitely looks more like Front Mission than WARS

moku said:Anyone hear anything about online multiplay?
I would love to play this sucker online.
Firestorm said:Heh, I hate it when people disconnect after half an hour long Pokemon battles. I can't imagine people disconnecting after a 3 hour AW battle.
Pureauthor said:Well, had a chance to look at the pics.
AWDS2 HHGOTY 2008!
Also I wouldn't half mind if we could unlock the Old Guard to play here. The juxtaposition between their personalities and the scenario here would just be awesome.
A Link to the Snitch said:If Apollo Justice doesn't come out in 2008, yeah.
Sorry, forgot on-topic.
I like the battle scenes, I'm just wondering how the character portraits will look (unless I missed a screen with them?).
A Link to the Snitch said:EDIT: Oh man, saw the characters, they look great.
To anyone who's played it, is Ling the main character? If so, she and Andy would be great applicants for SSBB

I actually would like to see more girls in SSBB, too. Then again, I'm not really considering myself a fanboy, either....Hcoregamer00 said:Come on, guys don't like playing as girls, just look at all the Nintendo fanboys who ripped me to shreds for saying I want another girl in brawl.
Pureauthor said:Sorry, but Apollo Justice doesn't have 100+ hours of replay value.
Actually, it's not even replay value, considering I went through every map in AWDS once and clocked 102 hours or so.
A Link to the Snitch said:Every PWAA game has had 100+ hours of replay, so why not AJAA?
Pureauthor said:Because AJAA sucks in comparison to the original trilogy.
Pureauthor said:Answering honestly would constitute massive spoilers for the game.
I'm only one game shy of declaring it the GOTY 2008 period.Pureauthor said:AWDS2 HHGOTY 2008!

I want them back for the same reasons you guys listed. Their music is so good that I'd welcome them back even if the way to get them in there was as corny as calling them computer simulations of past heroes.TwinIonEngines said:Yes - and that way we can still have the old BGMs, too.
See, this I agree with. Kanbei being probably the single strongest example, going from this in AW1...TwinIonEngines said:Actually, although this is by far the most dramatic change for the visual look of the game assets, there might actually be a bigger discrepancy between the character art for the original and AWDS than there is between AWDS and this game.
My neck hurts...sooo good!!AshStrife said:I don't think this has been posted yet
This site got some gameplay footage. Seems like standard Advance Wars with slight changes to the interface.
