Topic: Advance Wars 1+2

@Joeynator3000 I accept no blame for starting a different thread. NL showed no results when I searched for it.

And it's still not showing up in the list for me, I can only get to it via the link you provided in the thread you locked.

Pretty excited to check these out after watching the tree house. I suppose I can get a warm up on wii u vc, but aren't they basically the same game?

@Heavyarms55 Yeah, if you open a thread, then hit search, your search is filtered by the category/topic that was in that thread. So, you think you're search ALL threads, but your not. It's pure trickery. I've been fooled by that issue several times. Maybe you did something like that.

I always have to open forums, (DON'T LOOK AT A THREAD😠), then search. lol.

I've been tempted to say something in "ideas for the site" about it, but I figured most people haven't noticed, and might think I'm nuts. So, I haven't said anything.

@NintendoByNature it looks that way. Inspite of the "reboot" in the title, it sounds like it's more of an "hd remaster" situation. I'm thinking there's bound to be some differences, but i could only guess as to what.

@Losermagnet nice! I suppose I'll wait til December then!

@NintendoByNature : Remakes tend to be. It all depends on whether you want to re-experience the first two games with shiny new graphics, QoL improvements, and/or online play.

@Silly_G I rarely play my wii u these days other than to fiddle around with the kids. So I'll wait out the new entries and see what the fuss is about.

@WoomyNNYes It's showing up there now. I blame @Joeynator3000 . We all know they are the single greatest evil mastermind on this website. First he makes me unable to see an Advance Wars thread, next he takes over the world!

It's Sanya's fault.

Never played the originals of these .... They're even getting a physical, so that's pre-ordered from Game

I never got round to playing anything from this series either, so this is a great announcement from my point of view.

I'll prob buy this day 1, given that we already know the games are good, based on the originals.

Are these being done by Intelligent Systems as well as Wayforward? I just hope these aren't being done at the expense of the next Fire Emblem game, because I was really hoping we'd see another of those on the Switch. They had so much room to improve on Three Houses, even though it was a brilliant game.

@Dezzy I don't see Intelligent Systems been involved much apart from maybe approving some things.

This seems to be all Wayforward.

Honestly would love to see IS work on a new Advance Wars game and give FE a break. >.<

I’m still torn as I probably would have preferred GBA games like this to come to Nintendo’s online service.

Releases like this and Link’s Awakening make me wonder if GB/GBC/GBA games are likely.

@Slowdive Yes, that's what I meant, so it isn't likely to interfere with any of their own projects.

I haven't played the originals but this remake is terribly lifeless interms of the animations that I'm hoping that Nintendo/Intelligent Systems advises Wayforward to either make them identicle or allows to switch over to the GBA visuals atleast...

I could see Nintendo at least doing GB/GBC without Link's Awakening. They do have two other Zeldas they could add anyway.

Love Advance Wars, but I never really had the opportunity to play the second game, which I hear is one of the best in the series (whereas I spent a decent amount of time with the original and 70+ hours with Days of Ruin), so I'm actually super excited to experience that.

I'll play the games in order, though. Even if it's a faithful remake, the change in visual design will make the first game feel like a fresh experience.

The only reason I might wait a while to play it is because I played them on Wii U like 4 or so years, so its not been too long in the grand scheme of things (though longer than any of the time between previous Advance Wars releases...now that I think about it). So these will be way more familiar to me than the DS games

Actually thinking about it, despite being my favorite, I've never replayed Dual Strike ever. Maybe someday...

Game of the show for me, even if a tad expensive. I am hoping for single switch multi as well as online; I am hesitating to call it "hot seat" since you'd be passing the system around, but you know what I mean ;P
