It was mentioned in the last AW thread. Though this was the first time I saw it.nli10 said:Yeah - is that a new Video?
I just pre-ordered it for £25 from GamePlay.com and they usually get the game to you the day before general release
Tathanen said:I've never played a Wars title for more than 15 minutes, but I've played four Fire Emblems from start to finish. Someone explain to me how the multiplayer in Advance Wars works, as Fire Emblem multiplayer is impossible. The entire logic of combat in Fire Emblem involves staying out of range of your enemy, or luring them to specific units, due to the always-reliable nature of the AI. Against a human being, no one would ever get close enough to anyone else to attack. The rules of combat would fall apart.
I know Advance Wars has some base-capturing or something.. is that what makes the combat actually viable in multiplayer? What's the big difference between these two series that makes multiplayer possible?

traveler said:Nice thread, insaniac. Can't wait for this.
Also, somebody mentioned an adaptor in the locked thread that would allow me to go online with my DS despite not having Wifi- does this adaptor work for the Wii too or is there something else I can get (A Wifi-extension for my laptop perhaps?) that would allow me to go online with both? (Thinking ahead for Smash Bros.)
Forgotten Ancient said:GOTY 2008. I don't care what else comes out. DQIX, FFXIII, MGS4, and anything else don't come close for me. This would've been GOTY last year, which was arguably the most awesome year for games in a long ass time.

GDJustin said:Yeah, but who cares about battle scenes? Ever since AW2 I've left the battle scenes on for literally one battle, just to see them, then turned them off for the subsequent 100+ hours of play...

Amir0x said:I'm a graphic whore kinda guy, I appreciate it because it makes it feel more war-like. I like the visceral response to sinking someone's ship
Yes, and I feel that battle against her was quite painful for this exact reason...Graphics Horse said:They're useful for fighting Sonia

Koren said:Lord, I hope not... I's a very expensive unit IIRC, and I find APC really useful for early deployment. Mobile factory wouldn't be the unit you want on scouting. APC is left ? (if anyone has the complete list of disappearing unit, I want !)
I wasn't aware of new CO system, I really like it so far. I'm really eager to try this...
Thanks for your thread !
It's not out yet, but all the AWs so far have had very good tutorials, so I don't see why this one wouldn't. They are complex games, but it does a pretty good job of slowly introducing all the elements to you without ever really throwing you in the deep end. AW: DS was fantastic though, so if you're not sure if you will like the genre, you could probably pick that one up for a bit cheaper. If you don't like that, I doubt you'll like the new one.vareon said:I really, really want to try this one, but turn-based strategy just isn't my type of game . Let's just say I'm new to the genre, should I buy this one?
Fredescu said:You mean this? http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-b8-49-en-70-13d7.html
I don't have one, but I believe they work with the Wii. I think they discontinued it, but they are still available around the place. Apparently they're a pain to set up, and only work with XP. Play Asia lists a few third party ones too, but none of them mention Wii support.
Insaniac said:The Mobile Factory costs 5000, which i believe is the same as the old APC yeah?
It does work with the Wii, well the one that says 'Works with Wii' or whatever. I don't think it works on Vista though.traveler said:Yeah, that. I was just wondering if it worked with the Wii as well. I'll check it out, since I need one for my DS anyways.
Why not a 8.6 or an 8.8? Also are the reviews of the mag you write for based on some short playtests at Nintendo?Maarten Jalink said:I've played this a few weeks ago at Nintendo (for a mag review) and found it a very amusing game. The gameplay is the same as previous games but the story and look is much darker (hence the name). I'd give about an 8,7 (haven't played online though)

Can't wait to pick this up, it will be my first AW game since the first one on the GBA.

traveler said:That's fine with me. I'm still running XP.
Insaniac, are you planning on starting an online thread as well or will we just do the fc exchange in here?
zapperx said:Since I don't wanna make a thread about it and this is the most recent DS game thread i'll ask in here.
Can you buy memory cards for the DS? I just brought one online with pokemon to play but now I read me and my brother can't play the same game since it only has one save slot? So if both of us want to play i'd have to buy another game? :S
I haven't played a pokemon since red/blue so I thought maybe they might have fixed this crap by now.
Insaniac said:FC thread will probably end up in the multiplayer forum.
Graphics Horse said:Yep, I don't know if it has any limitations, but it should shake things up in a major way if you can just build factories anywhere. A lot of the levels in the previous game boiled down to capturing a certain factory before your opponent did, so this should put an end to that.
