This will be my first Wars game.
The hell? Aren't you a big Fire Emblem fan? Advance Wars 1 & 2 should be a no-brainer.

Anyhow, I'm all over this game. In fact, first time I'll turn on the DS since WarioWare. :-(
 
Advance Wars DS is mine.

I wonder how easy it is to share AWDS maps.

I can't wait to play demi's phallic-shapped map.

I just have this thing about brand new software, and I never saw new copies of AW, so I didn't pick it up.
 
The user review at the bottom is the best part.

Yeah, I want FFTA FOR DS! But at least Square-Enix is pushing a whole line-up of great titles!
 
Definitely picking up Dual-Strike this week. Money is going to be really tight this paycheck...

1) Fork over $350 for college books
2) Buy World of Warcraft
3) Buy Sin City on UMD
4) Buy Nintendogs
5) Buy Advance Wars: Dual-Strike

Drop out. It's only going to cut into your Nintendogs time.

Is it crazy that I want to buy a DS just for this game?

the gba games were worth buying the system for. alone. so probably not. the series is that good. killer app in my opinion. probably won't crush anything in sales, but the quality meter flies way way up.

Does the umd version includes any special features??if not well you're just throwing money out of the window......the dvd version should be a blast.
Buying the current DVD release is throwing your money out the window. The Extended Director's Cut is going to be coming out in ~4 months I believe.

I've put more time into GBA AW's then just about any game I've played the last 5 years, save MMO's.

But I am poor...POOR.

The Special Edition is gonna be awesome, can't believe the extras that are in there. They better hurry up with it though, it's gonna be a long wait.

Advance Wars looks great, will need to pick it up whenever I get a DS.

Yes, I love the movie. Have you heard if it's going to be unrated or not?
 
Sucks that one of my friends goes back to school on monday, we could've had an AW:DS threeway. I'm glad to be on the winning team of next week. :)
 
OMG.. please please please. If you have a GBA and don't have the previous 2 Advance Wars, you need to remedy that situation ASAP. It can probably be done very cheaply as well.
 
August is a good month for the DS. The new releases are finally starting to pour in! I wonder if they'll bring the brain training games over here? I say it's worth a shot.

This goes to show how much cred GI deserves... 2.5 my fucking ass.

I'm going to go ahead and let you in on a secret. The 3 and 2.5 scores were a shitty joke by Mrbob. At the bottom of his post (in a spoiler tag) were the real scores. Advance Wars: Dual Strike got a 9.25, a 9.5 and Game of the Month.

I've already got mine preordered from EB. Too bad it comes out 2 days before Fall semester starts along with the puppies...
