Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Military Madness (Nectaris) Returns! (PR)
- Thread starter bryehn
- Start date
OMG this is freaking awesome!
all you young kids who've never played this will finally see what a real classic strategy is. It's the 'Chess' of video games. This game has always been so perfectly balanced. I love valkyria chronicles, but nectaris/military madness is still probably the war strategy game I'd take with me on a desert island.
can't wait. Anyone know a release date?
my only request is to speed up the computer's turn and make it more interesting to watch. I actually don't even watch its turn when I play it anymore and treat each round like a new fresh game

awesome news.
Played this for hours on end as a kid. Curious to see how it holds up.

Excellent news.
Sounds great. Hopefully they upgrade a few elements of the old games to improve on them instead of doing a straight port gameplay wise or something. Some aspects of the old Military Madness games were pretty weak when compared to similar games released later, such as Advance Wars.

If by Chess you mean, occasionally the queen can't kill the rook. :lol

Look at the PR? Clearly not just a port. And XBLA/PSN support besides
Glad to see people are excited

This can't come to me fast enough. Exciting news.
I just hope they give us 360/PS3 users the proper love, and don't wuss out on the graphics just 'cause they're doing a Wii version too.

Nice!
Time for VC to get Amiga games, I'd love a Battle Isle version.

Interesting that they're not going Wii Ware exclusive with this one like their other TG16 revivals. Looking forward to it!

honestly if they've got an engine up and running and they're fully licenced, these ports are no brainers. especially considering we're not dealing with difficult stuff here. most of hudson's games easily _could_ be done on any platform.
i know for me, fridge + ease of adding points + ease of playing games + social features means i'd get this on 360 over the ps3, and ps3 over the wii unless the wii interface (IR) was notably better.

Well, there was a lot of effort put into this one. "Revival" is the right word there.

Very nice.
I do hope it has evolved a little bit since the original. The original games look damn ugly compared to the Advance Wars games.
I'd love to know if the Wii version is lead platform with NextGen being enhanced by another company. I'm glad Diner Dash got announced too, it's been in development for a bloody long time - more than you'd expect for yet another Diner Dash game.

Oh man, I loved this so much on my maligned TG16... isn't this what Advanced Wars was based on / inspired by?
CANNOT WAIT.

Other way around, Famicom Wars predates Military Madness. Fitting name of yours BTW
I think it'd be pretty cool for the newcomers, if this game would unlock the original games when you beat different phases of the maps, just to get everyone caught up with the originals as a bonus.
Like unlock the original when you finish the the first set of maps, and unlock Neo Nectaris when you beat the second phase of the maps. This is the one most people haven't played.
It'd be nice to pack in the PS1 Nectaris game too, or at least the 100 extra maps it comes with compared to the original

Have to leave the details to the guys at Hudson PR, that's how NDAs work.
