The story was pretty Japanese, too. I really don't know what they were thinking.
Maybe it's the artist just being the artist but what do I know

with all the Days of Ruin complaining, i still need to play Dual Strike, how is that game compared to DoR then in terms of artwork and overall fun?

Artists gonna art.
Scratch that: I finally beat that mission after picking up the game on and off, after FOUR YEARS of owning the game, and even S-ranked it. I should have listened to Isabella earlier.

I just hope that when Advance Wars is announced that it comes to JPN and NA with relative quickness. Kind of BS that we have to wait on fire emblem until 2013 when it's been out months in Japan.
I know text translation and all that, but I guarntee the game easily could have made the 2012 window.

it's just one dude complaining and no one really understood it.
Personally, I think it's the best game in the series, because it has the best mechanics, units and tweaks. It's wonderful in that regard.
Some people don't like it as much as others because it's relatively slim in terms of content compared to others, especially DS. But It'll still be over 20 (30?) hours to beat the campaign and there's a lot more extra maps to play with. It also includes the old famicom maps as series tradition.
Tone wise, it's quite a departure, and while I prefer the lighthearted feel of the others, this is still quite welcomed and manages to lose all the baggage the others stories began to have (kindle seriously?). It has it's dramatic cheesy moments and it's funny moments as well, so humor is not completely neglected. But the idea of war still being done even after a natural disaster of such scale is pretty interesting.
in the past year and a half IS has put out 4 games. They also have two announced for Wii u so I'm not even sure they have time for AW right now unless they have more than one team.
IS has been incredibly busy over the last couple of years--they've developed Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Fire Emblem Awakening, Pushmo and Crashmo for 3DS, are working on Game & Wario and SMTxFE (in whatever capacity) for Wii U AND had to go into overdrive providing SDKs to developers in order to supplement the official Nintendo kits. I don't know where they'd even find the time to make a new Advance Wars.
That being said, it really needs to happen. Days of Ruin style, or not, I don't care either way, just give me asynchronous online multiplayer and I'm good.

Not yet but I would guess it will probably happen eventually. Intelligent Systems (the dev team who makes them) has been super busy on 3DS development with Pushmo, Crashmo, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Paper Mario Sticker Star. They're also working on the upcoming Game & Wario and Shin Megami Tensei/Fire Emblem Crossover games for Wii U. So yeah, they're busy. 3DS is still young though so I suspect they'll do an Advance Wars at some point. There were two on DS though (Dual Strike and Days of Ruin) that you could play on your 3DS. Since you have only played the original I highly recommend checking them out.

Geez. Do you have on slut goggles that make anything look way more sexual than it actually is? A sports bra? It's called a tanktop. Aside from the outfit showing her midriff (which isn't even a big deal), there is absolutely nothing overtly sexual about it.
Oh and they're COs. They're not fighting themselves. They can wear whatever they want to
Your post makes me double the sad. I want to see both more Advance Wars AND F-Zero. The former will happen more than the latter, sadly.

You'll have no complaints from me if this turns out to be true.
This is a fun game. It's worth a buy.

I liked Days of Ruin a lot, especially the male character designs. I would love them to continue that sub-series.

Days of Ruin was great. I wish IntSys was working on another Advance Wars rather than Game and Wario minigames.

Can the Advance name, call it 3D Wars or something, isn't Advance redundant? The IP originated as Famicom Wars on, well, the Famicom/NES right?
Advance Wars is the international name. People recognize the IP by it. In Japan they can get away with it.
Only in Japan, and they don't give a shit about the series so we're not beholden to their naming conventions.

I would love to see another one. I don't even care whether it has the Days of Ruin style or the old one--I just want another Advance Wars game.
It's been five years now since Days of Ruin came out, though, and there's still no sign of a new one. That, plus the fact that Days of Ruin was never released in Japan, doesn't bode well for the series...

Why would it be?
So far it only exists in my dreams.
I hope they do one soon though. I'd prefer them to carry on from Dual Strike, but I don't really mind if they do something like DC again. I just need more Advance Wars.
It'd be nice if Nintendo released all the Japanese only ones on the Virtual Console in a Hanabi Festival to help tide me over.

Oh man. If I worked at the Treehouse I would be begging IS to make one now.

They kinda stopped the system naming convention at Advance.

You never know, there is a chance we'll see it at the 3DS ND that shows what's coming up.
Be sad to see sprites go though. Also better return to pre-DoR story with all the unnecessary COs.
