man, really, what more do you want out of life.
 
i love the ida of full blown sky battles. atleast it seems that way in the first picture. man, i can't wait for Fire Emblem to this this thing.
 
Stealth bombers?
Missles?
Sattelites?

If this DOES have online play, I'm doomed.

They may be going with another cast of characters for this version, no sign of the old characters except for Nell.

I wonder what Survival and Combat modes are like?
 
Haha, does anyone else think the satellite looks a little weird?

But other than that, I like this a lot. I really do hope they add in quite few new units and expand the multiplayer pass 4 players. It'll be even better if the really make the custom maps even larger.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women!

(Sorry, it had to be done.)
 
Im a bit confused by the concept of bombers in high altitude combat, unless they can bomb the ground or something...

Very cool use of the double screens though, hopefully it'll go further and we'll get underwater and maybe even underground (tunnel infantry fights anyone?) combat too.

It also seems like you'll affect one battle from the other (looks like you launch missles and they become units for you in the air battle), great stuff.
 
What a great day, the new additions in AW seems quite cool. I just hope it has wifi multiplayer over the internet, that would be the GOTFY
 
YES YES YES YES YES YES YAY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still play Advance Wars 2 every night. :D :D :D
 
...this will probably be the first DS game i buy, since i ain't getting it at launch.

love Advance Wars - i can't wait to see how Fire Emblem turns out on DS too.

i hope the planes in the sky can still attack ground units and vice versa, would be crap if they couldn't - and its hard to see how they can ATM. like how the map is semi-3D now though.
 
Man, just the colors of Advance Wars DS are so damn pleasing on my eyes. It's so gorgeous. I can't stop looking at the overview map, the satellite, Nell, man, it's so great. I hope it comes out soon.
 
October 07, 2004 - Nintendo has unveiled first details on a new NDS entry in the Advance Wars series of strategy titles.

The game will utilize the DS's dual screen setup for its strategy battles. During battle, the top screen will show air-based maps with the bottom screen showing ground-based maps. Nintendo states that this system will allow for added strategic opportunities as players can choose to attack from the air, proceed on the ground, and so-forth. Other uses of the twin screens may be included as well.

Outside of dual screen support, the game will offer some improvements over the Advance Wars formula that has been successful in previous titles. In Advance Wars, players are able to select a general from a large set of pre-set characters. Based on the selected general, the abilities of your army change. New to the series with this entry is a "General Tag" system where players select two generals and can switch between them in the middle of the mission. Doing so will be an important part of strategy.

The game will also include some new modes, exclusive to the DS. Look forward to the regulars like a Campaign Mode in which you progress through a story, a Trial Mode in which you take part in a quick battle and a Survival Mode in which you clear missions by fulfilling preset requirements. Also included is a Combat Mode which makes use of the DS's touch-panel support for control; details on this mode will have to wait until a future update.

WiFi play will also be included allowing for multiple players to play together. The number of players and other details on multiplayer gameplay will be revealed shortly.

With Advance Wars launching this year in Japan, we expect more details to follow soon. Stay tuned!

I can't actually read Japanese, so maybe the red text says otherwise (in which case please excuse this post), but isn't that just Sami with a new outfit next to Nell?

"WiFi play will also be included"

The "WiFi" is a standardized term usually meaning the 802.11b/g protocol. If Nintendo doesn't take it online, Warp Pipe or other programs should handle it... I'm super super super excited.

The red text just says "Red star hope".
 
Expected? Yes. Totally blown away anyway? Oh god yes.

DS WARS!


Also does anyone know if they're keeping the "Advance" part of the moniker? It would make sense in the US, where the series gained massive popularity under the name "Advance WARS", but it's traditionally called (System Name) WARS in Japan.
 
Having one screen be for air the other for ground is the best use of the dual screens i've seen so far...
 
*Faints

OK, I'm back. Too much DS news today, and it's just getting started. pantpantpant...

This game is on the top of my list, of course.
 
In my opinion, the three best games/series this gen in regards to art are Megaman Zero, Advance Wars and Puyo Pop Fever... I can't get enough of any of their's. Looks so damn cool.

And ironically, I've played none of them.
 
Oh. my. God.

I'm sorry PSP... I like your shiny design and all, but it doesn't make my dick hard like this does.

Haha.


man, an air unit on top of a ground unit would be awesome. it opens up a lot.

So simple in reality, i never thought of that kind of use for the dual screens, now i want all my strategy games to be on DS :D

Yeeehaaaw, tag team 0wnage! Imagine fighting Wurm as a last boss and he's even harder than AW2, and you're about to win the map when another CO comes with an even deadlier power attack and wipes the floor with you >_<

WiFi play will also be included allowing for multiple players to play together. The number of players and other details on multiplayer gameplay will be revealed shortly.

That pretty much mean online WiFi, i hope.. Even if nintendo doesnt support it, a project similar to warp pipe will take over and make it online, but i have a good feeling that it will be online out of the box.

Oh boy oh boy. This is MORE than awesome.

I wonder about a Fire Emblem on DS? That would look pretty awesome, too!

A DS Fire Emblem would be my personal GOTY even if Zelda (GC) would be released in the same year.
 
Pegasus knights, wyvern riders and maybe even mages flying in the sky above ground on the 2nd screen for fire emblem, oh yes please, gimme :D
 
+1 NDS Sale :)

I am a little dissapointed they didn't change the unit graphics and terrain graphics.. let's hope there's a lot more units (my one big complaint about AW2)

But man - I literally did everything there was to do in AW2 - I have all the gold menus, beat every stage (both campaigns), bought everything at the store... and also with AW1.. so there goes whatever semblance of a life I had.. again. :P
 
They have changed the graphics. Not much I admit, but they're different. It's more the terrain that ground units, though some of those might have slight differences, it's hard to tell.

Really though, there's not much you can do graphically with this sort of title, you have to keep it simple.

Are those cloud shadows on the ground? If so, I wonder if they move.
