Intelligent Systems Isn't Done With Advance Wars Just Yet

Yeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Mobile tactic turn based strategy gaming done right. Fire Emblem and Advance Wars all the way! Yeeeeeaaah!

I'd totally buy it, without thinking. But I think we need a futuristic tactical game too.

PLEASE!!! Finished Duals Strike for the third time now. Great news!!

I'm more fan of Advance Wars than of Fire Emblem. I wish they continue from what they did with Days of Ruin. Penny and Forsythe player here, never an expert but I had a great time.

I actually prefer Advance wars to Fire Emblem it is one of my favourite game series right up there with metroid and timesplitters

The second they announce a new Advance Wars game, I'll finally get around to buying that 3DS I've been meaning to buy. The SECOND.

Seeing videos of the first 2 games have got me interested in the series. If a new Advance Wars is annouced, I'd give it a chance for sure.

I'm waiting ages for this game! Please release a new one!

I would love a new Advance Wars, but I didn't like Dark Conflict despite Dual Strike being my favourite game on the system. I understand the message about war that they wanted to convey, but the visuals and the story was all a bit drab compared to what I associate with the series.

I hope they could make a new one in line with Days of Ruin. Not the same characters, not the same story, not the same context, but something that once again has nothing to do with Andy and his band, because they have already reached the moon with Dual Strike on this concept, they can hardly go higher.

I have the feeling they were trying to turn AW into a Fire Emblem with the serious appeal and storyline of Days of Ruin, just like it seems to me that they turned Awakening into an Advance Wars with team attacks, fun and manga roster... (The game isn't released in Europe yet, I can't judge.)

All in all, I want a new Advance Wars which mechanics allow for a great array of characters, with a serious storyline, and some serious war appeal. Something that can drastically contrast with Awakening to show that the studio can do anything. (Advance on Mars, maybe?)

I definitely prefer Fire Emblem and I didn't like the darker direction they went with for Days of Ruin. But yeah, I loved Dual Strike, so more Advance Wars can only be a good thing.

I always had a hard time getting into Advance Wars, even though I love Fire Emblem. I'd be happy to give it another chance though.

I've been surprised that Advance Wars wasn't an Ambassador game on the 3DS. It would have been a great opportunity to introduce that series to a bit of a wider audience.

I love the series and have played all of them! Sucks to hear they havent started to develope a new one yet.
Why are the blue army guys missing on the picture above? Where is the repair and the meele-tank guy? ^^

i want a new advance wars =) perhaps advance wars x fire emblem for 3DS? only time will tell =)

@Peach64 @Pixel-Perfect I'm with you on this one; Dark Conflict was too much of a departure from what I know and love in the Nintendo Wars series, so much so that I couldn't play past the second campaign mission. For me as well, Dual Strike is, at the moment, the pinnacle of Advance Wars gaming. If they make a new Advance Wars game for Nintendo 3DS, I really hope they make it less gritty and more like the fun, almost-lighthearted tone I experienced in the second and third games (I have yet to play the GBA original, I'm afraid). Not necessarily the same characters or nations, just a similar overall experience. Bring AW back to its roots, Intelligent Systems!

Yes I am and I recently made a topic on it! Bring it on please!!

Yes! Advance Wars U, or another one on the 3DS! Just do it! Don't make me beg....

@DePapier Yes please. I don't understand all the hate for Days of Ruin. It had by far the best and most series story. It had characters you wanted to hate for good reason and not some silly story. It's called Advance WARS people not cartoon hour. It still had the same great strategy with a much better story line!! Plus I really didn't care for Duel Strike. It was trying to do too much and the battles just ended up being longer then needed!!

I do hope the games sell better this time if done again. None in the post gba series did sell well at all even after getting good reviews. Now that the 3ds is on the map thanks to Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, and soon to be a ton more quality games hopefully this gets noticed!

Advance Wars on 3ds? Hell yeah! I'd rather have Advance Wars than Fire Emblem.
Fingers crossed that it happens.

This is one of my top 3 game series'. Fire Emblem, FF Tactics Advance, and Advance wars in no particular order.

I clocked up over 1,000 hours playing Dual Strike and a few hundred with the last one. I just hope they are already developing another in the series (WiiU would be a great addition to a 3DS version too!)

Ive never gotten into Advance Wars or Fire Emblem. Dont get me wrong, i like them, but somehow, they kick my ass on so many levels
While i can play games like FF Tactics, the older Vandal Hearts and whatnot almost blind, i never managed to grasp the right unit management in AW or kleeping my man alive in FE.

A new Advance Wars would make me happy

Am I the only one here who loved the Advance Wars games and beat them all, yet skipped all the story parts?? I just enjoy the gameplay, I don't care about the characters relationships or their motivations.

intelligent systems, please make his happen

Seeing all of this Advance Wars love makes me teary eyed. AW was my introduction into the turn-based strategy genre and is one of my favorite games of all time. Here's hoping we get another installment soon!

A small wet patch has just appeared on my trousers.

@AbeVigoda
100% agree

Just remember guys, this series had huge problems for a while. Days of Ruin never even got released in Japan.

Hopefully the series will get a nice reboot for current systems though.

I can certainly hope for a new entry, at least. I loved every game in the series I've played so far.

Sweet, played Dual Strike and that has great gameplay I would definately consider returning to!
I did find it's upbeat tone and dialogue incredibly jarring at times.
The logic behind sendind masses of men to die in a battle simply to test the commanding prowess of your opponent was one of the stupidest ideas in a game I have played.
Haven't played days of ruin yet, maybe I would prefer it

Yes, please.

if Fire Emblem : Awakening
then Advace Wars : New Beggining for Wii U and 3DS, cross-play biotch ..

I want an advanced wars-U......this series would be great on a console and getting cross play with a 3ds version would be awesome

I've always liked advance wars more than Fire Emblem, and Dual Strike was one of my favorite DS games, so yes, I would be all over a new one. I will say that I didn't care for the "gritty" theme in Days of Ruin, though.

Needs to happen soon. Advance 2 was such an awesome game, almost too perfect. I hoped for a long time that we'd get an entry comparable to that one, but with a new cast and storyline...

Dual Strike was good apart from the butchered balance and carbon-copy storyline. Dark Conflict wasn't much, the gameplay changes were rather poor and unnecessary imo. Also the huge cut back on non-campaign content annoyed me.

@AbeVigoda On your first playthrough? i've never done that, but do find the dialogue in all except the 2nd to be pretty dull though.

@QuickSilver88 No... keep it to portables only pls. It's more suited.

This new Advance Wars, like Fire Emblem: Awakening was, will be my very first in the series. If it's just as great as Fire Emblem, I'd love to play a 3DS entry in the series. Let's see it Intelligent Systems! :3

Yes more Advance Wars are always welcome, Dual Strikes was fun and Days of Ruin was good too.

I've only got the 2 Advance Wars on the DS but I love them. I will happily buy one if it makes 3DS or Wii U.

It's not that Advance Wars is bad, but, Starcraft 2. Advance Wars is portable I guess.

I wonder which "universe" they'll stick with for their next game. As in, will it be Dual Strike's or Days of Ruin's world.
(and they can merge the two in multiplayer mode, lol...since I like characters from both. xD)

@Erica_Hartmann
I'd like to see a merger, personally. I liked the characters from Dual Strike, and liked the environments from Days of Ruin. :3

Yeah, though story mode-wise it wouldn't make much sense, but for multiplayer it would be nice. Would also like to see features and mechanics merged, like dual strikes, and the Carrier makeover from DoR.

Good. One of my favorites from the GBA/DS library. Can't wait to see what comes next! Especially after seeing how fantastic FE Awakening was.

I love Advance Wars, it has a lot of replay.

I still play Days of Ruin to this day. Advance Wars is brilliant and needs to make a comeback. I've always preferred it over Fire Emblem too.

I'd pre-order a copy now if I could. Advance Wars was the first Tactics style game I ever played! Since then I've gone on to FF:Tactics, Tactics Ogre the recently released Devil Summoner and now I'm looking forward to my first foray into Fire Emblem at the end of April Like many of the other comments here I didn't enjoy Dark Conflict as much as the first 3 because of the tone.

I vastly prefer Advance Wars over Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem just doesn't do anything for me, unfortunately. Days of Ruin was fantastic. It was exactly what the series needed at that time, as it was starting to grow stale with Dual Strike. There's only so much cutesy "Yay, war is fun!" mentality that you can take before you start to think, "This series needs a new direction." Days of Ruin was exactly that. I'm not interested in Fire Emblem: Awakening, but I would buy a new Advance Wars the very second it came out.

Advance Wars is one of my favorite franchises, so yeah, I'd love another entry on the 3DS, or even the Wii U for that matter.

I might actually, dare I say it, enjoy Advance Wars more than Fire Emblem. If they make a game that is just as good as Fire Emblem Awakening, then none of you will see me for a few days.

@EverybodyWhoMentionedAdvanceWarsU Wouldn't a new Battalion Wars game make more sense on the Wii U though?

Please make a sequel to AW: Days of Ruin. I know, AW: Days of Ruin 2 - Caulder's Revenge:)

@GamerZack7: It would, but I just couldn't get into Battlelion Wars. I don't like RTS, TBS all the way!

Well, considering Dual Strike was THE SOLE REASON why I upgraded from GBA to a DS in the first place, I would snap up another Advance Wars in a heartbeat. I don't really care which story they choose to continue (light-hearted Andy campaign or more serious Wil campaign), as I enjoyed both very much and are among my favorite games on the DS. I kinda doubt they can top the quality and detail of Fire Emblem Awakening, though as that game has nearly blown my mind to the point of obsession.

@Tech101: I agree with you. I never liked the cutesy "war is a joke" them the first 3 advance wars games brought to the table. Now Days of Ruin is where they got it right, spot on! The best story by far, with amazing twists. I really connected with all the characters as I made my way through the increasingly difficult campaign. Tabitha is by far my favorite CO(can't count Caulder, b/c using him is flat out cheating). I love her +5 attack and +5 defense combo. Sure it takes a while to build up her CO meter, but when you do; it's all over... I think they should continue the story where it left off. Bring back the remaining CO's who weren't killed, and give us some new ones. I really wish they would have made "The Beast" a playable CO. I loved his theme song.

I really want to give Advance wars a try someday, but they should go back to the light-hearted style! Since the last one was very serious!

What's the hold up? If they can make new FE game, they should be able to make a new AW game. I've been waiting for several years now. Hopefully, they'll retain the gameplay aspects of the Days of Ruin instead of the unbalanced ones of yore.
