IS has been busy with other projects.
With Fire Emblem doing pretty well, they might take another stab at the series after Days of Ruin.

Days of Ruin pretty much bombed I think so we might have to wait for a while. Like forever.

Days of Ruin killed the series.

Intelligent Systems is not a big team and they just finished Fire Emblem and have Paper Mario to finish as well. I imagine they might move to make a Wii U game as well.

Seriously. They better make one, even if it's an eshop title.
I need my fix!

Paper Mario takes priority over your silly war tanks

Intelligent Systems are doing tonnes of work on 3DS, what with Pushmo, Fire Emblem and Paper Mario. Give them more time.

Am I right to say that Advance Wars 1 and 2 didn't get released in Japan until after 2 was out, and then as a compilation of 1 and 2 on 1 cart?
DS Wars 1 got a contemporaneous release, but 2/Days Of Ruin never came out there (we're talking a Silent Hill situation)?
If that's the case, Intelligent Systems has no reason to continue it, especially if their Mario role-playing games and Fire Emblem are doing so well.

Yup. Play this in the meantime.

There's a game on the eShop DSiWare called Glory Days which is similar to AW, a lot smaller and simpler, but at £1.80, I can't recommend it enough. Great value for money. If you like Advance Wars, you'll get your monies worth out of it. It's arcade like, you need to survive rounds and clock points up.

Lack of War Room is disappointing though. If there was in the game, it would be the best game ever.

It got days of ruined! 
Seriously though Days of Ruin had terrible sales so they're probably rethinking their strategy with the series.

I bought Days of Ruin day of, really liked the new direction. I know it bombed, but I'd like to see another sequel.
Even more so I'd love to see a new F-Zero.

They should at least make it an E-shop game. The mechanics are already there (while throwing in the usual level editor) and it is not like we play Advance Wars for the stories. Would definitely be more profitable than retail.
My guess is that IS will churn one out quickly when there's a lull in 3DS releases. Advance Wars games probably don't take much effort to develop compared to some of their other projects, so I doubt they'll ever abandon the series as long as there's still a dedicated following of some sort.

I'd take an eShop War Room only release even. It's where I spent 90% of my time anyway.
Lots of potential for UGC with map editors and battle parameters. Online play would be a must too. Make it 3DS/Wii U crossplatform.

You are what's wrong with the video game industry.

I was sad the original AW wan't part of the Ambassador Program. Would've traded Mario Vs DK for it in like a second.

And 8 player online TBS game for a handheld? Not really sure if that is something I'd want to deal with. There would be so much waiting between turns....
I'd love to see asynchronous multiplayer though.

Can they call it "3DS Wars" like it should be instead of "Advance Wars"? The GBA is dead and buried, and don't give me "but the first entry was Advance Wars" because the first entry was Famicom Wars.
Always annoyed me that they didn't carry that over to the US and just made everything "Advance", even when the system wasn't the GBA.

Fuck balance, I want the kitchen sink approach next time. Dual Strike X2.
Wouldn't it be the opposite?
I'm sure IS is hard at work with a new FE after the success of Awakening. Yes DLC is gonna stall the work but it's definately coming. It has a lot of pull now in Japan whereas AW has zero.
I'm guessing we might see an Advance wars after FE3DS 2 so 2015 or something.
Those fucking anti tanks man

For the love of god, pop in AW2 right this second! And trade in Dual Strike for DoR

Yeah, IntSys tends to release SLGs in consecutive pairs. They just led with Wars on GBA/DS, now they're leading with FE on 3DS.
it is really bad when the term used to describe a dead series is F-Zero.
*goes to pick up all the pieces of his heart*
what's next? Metroid getting F-Zero'd next gen? i wish nintendo would have more studios to handle all their series.

They just did Fire Emblem and Paper Mario is coming out pretty soon too. Hopefully it's up next.

Why isn't every Nintendo franchise on 3DS already? It has been out for over a year now! And why weren't 3D Mario, Zelda, Metroid, F-Zero, and Super Smash Bros for Wii U at E3? Fucking Nintendo!!
