Nintendo's perspective is completely stupid and they made a controversy where none actually existed
Actually, there is no controversy regarding this at all right now.
Sure I reread what you said and your point is still pretty stupid because every nation in the Advanced Wars series is clearly meant to resemble a very specific nation and aesthetics. The nations being the US, Soviet/Russia, WWII Germany, and the Imperial Japan. If your argument is that Orange Star could possibly represent Ukraine because Ukraine's army now uses NATO uniforms (decades after the original was released) then I'm sorry but you simply have a crappy argument.
"Orange star is meant to resemble the US, and that's why it has no comparison to the Ukraine conflict!"
"How do you figure?"
"Because Orange Star Forces look like US Forces"
"US forces and Ukraine Forces look nearly identical"
"YoU HaVe A CrAppY ArGumEnT"
US Forced and Ukraine Forces look almost identical in terms of apparel.
Nothing has been debunked, there is no comparisons in aesthetics or plot and the *check notes* Russo-Ukrainian conflict outside of the incredibly superficial "The fictional nation resembling Soviets/Russia attacks its neighbors claiming self-defense". Sorry champ
The funny thing is that the only thing wrong about your post is the part where you say its "incredibly superficial". The rest of it is correct. Of course, saying it's "incredibly superficial" is incredibly ignorant. The plot is literally the reason why events take place in Advance Wars and the Aesthetics in a
VIDEO game are not superficial: The aesthetics of the units define the aesthetic of a turn based war game like Advance Wars and they look obviously Russian.
Of course releasing the game on the literal anniversary of the Russian invasion would be baffling stupid. Just as stupid as delaying for months because a non-existent controversy and a need to unnecessarily virtue signal
"Nintendo is withholding the release for now to avoid controversy
"That's stupid. There is no controversy!"
"Exactly."
Honestly, this whole discussion basically comes down to you being in clear denial that the comparisons between the events in AW1 and the real conflict aren't superficial. There's really not much more to say about the subject, besides you trying to argue that a company that has basically perfected the art of avoiding controversy is wrong. So that will be all that I have to say about this subject.
