The two on the GBA set the standard, the DS ones were a little more all over the place in quality.
I personally loved both Days of Ruin and Dual Strike (Dual Strike more, because double strikes were fun.)
I remember how much of a tone shift days of ruin was and was first turned off, but it was fun after i got over it. I wish, though, it wasn't quite so puzzle as Fire Emblem, and you could have some more leeway in how you solved the campaigns.
They only flopped because the first one released first in the USA the day before 9/11 and Nintendo gave up on even releasing it in Japan due to that. Then they pretty much gave up on even marketing the series. The only reason the sequels even got made was because IS kept pushing Nintendo to let them release them.
>I don't understand why they did a remake instead of a new game
With a remake you can outsource development to China/India and give them the original game as a template. Easy money and normalgays eat it up because MAH MODERN GRAPHIX.
I ate it up because the tiny resolution of the GBA fricking sucks and being able to play AW1+2 not just at 1080p but with a much wider, often totally unrestricted view of the battlefield is great
It wasn't needed. I was hyped for exactly 5 seconds seeing the advance wars logo and name during the direct, then saw the new visuals. That alone told me everything I needed to know about this remaster. It being on the switch instead of pc/multiplatform also guaranteed that the only reasonable argument in favor of buying this game (functioning multiplayer with a lot of features) was also dead from the get-go.
The sole improvement over the originals is the OST, and even that is hit or miss. Sami, Eagle, Adder, Kanbei, Olaf and Flak all got great remixes while the others are middling. Hawke, Jess and Sturm's themes in particular are utterly devoid of soul
>It being on the switch instead of pc/multiplatform also guaranteed that the only reasonable argument in favor of buying this game (functioning multiplayer with a lot of features) was also dead from the get-go.
This is 100% true. Imagine buying something that was mogged by AWBW and romhacks even before its inception. Every time you pointed this out morons would seethe for no reason. Glad the game flopped, but the most hardened wayforward shill will argue it was because of the war delays when it was always going to be a dead flop
Nah its fine the way it is
awbw will keep it alive
IIts sad that the remake has killed the series for good but its better this way if this is the way they were taking it with those horrible visuals
>take critically acclaimed beloved game >don't change a single thing >add lots of stuff to game
why is it so hard for modern "remakes" to just fricking do this
The changes were mostly just slight tweaks to CO powers and some QoL stuff like being able to move and attack with a single command instead of having to move to a space then stop then select attack
also new music for CO powers
Wayforward fumbled the bag so fricking hard. They could've had the privilege of making first party Nintendo titles and blew it because of le westoid art style.
I'm wondering what kind of dumbass you'd have to be to look at the top and be like >people not having an issue with anime 2D pixelart, even finding it charming, means they actually desire a Fisher Price kid's afternoon TV program artstyle.
That's just not how the transition from 2D anime to 3D anime-inspired game ever works.
The changes were mostly positive but they did butcher the script by removing potentially offensive lines like Eagle complaining about losing to a girl, Flak calling Max a gorilla and Yellow Comet being renamed to Gold Comet. They also made it so every single soldier unit, regardless of team is now culturally diverse, like blacks wearing yellow comet uniforms.
>The asian standin Nation is "yellow"
They really only got away with it before because it was an asian company, when they offloaded it to an american there was no way they could keep it.
All they had to do was sell 1,2 and DS together as they were (fix DS sprites so they no longer look like shit) add online and map making and boom instant hit and would had cost a fraction of what the remake cost
Fricking morons at nintendo
that's because like most 20+ year old games still played online, it's mostly filled with giga autists that have been playing for 20 years and will wreck any newcomers
Then what do you need aw for? It's a subpar game with barebone IP.
If your idea of good game is spamming mech inf, I am sorry but you have the mental capacity of a child.
Advance Wars has a kickass small community.
Look up the tournaments on YouTube.
From there you can find where they play it online.
It's really fun but surprising hard, almost like playing Go.
There are a few metas to learn, and victory can be the result of a mistake that lasts only 2-3 turns.
just do the gba game with modern graphics and new missions, it's that fricking easy
those games flopped on the game boy advance

I don't understand why they did a remake instead of a new game
I already played the original. I can play it again right now. I can emulate it on my toaster. what do I need a remake for
Wayforward needed a paycheck

This but for every remake ever
I fricking hate them all
Remakes can be good if they add or change something but I don't see the point in just releasing the same game that i already played again.
It's because wayforward are hacks and designing levels is hard

Why would Advance Wars ever go multi-platform.

I'm not glad the game flopped because the chance for an actual new one dropped from 1% to 0% as a result.
>It being on the switch instead of pc/multiplatform
moronic homosexual
a new game would have required actual effort
they fixed her mug at least
Wasn't Girls und Panzer big in japan for a while? It's not hard to know that coomers will buy anything
It still is and I heard they were expanding it to a 20-year project with spin-offs
Nah its fine the way it is
awbw will keep it alive

did they change anything in the 1+2 remake?

also new music for CO powers
yeah the game now looks like fricking shit
>slightly different is LE BAD
typical Ganker
>sprite work to tweening shit is "slightly different"
It is bad because it looks like shit. Simple as. I'm sorry you're blind.
Wayforward fumbled the bag so fricking hard. They could've had the privilege of making first party Nintendo titles and blew it because of le westoid art style.

That's just not how the transition from 2D anime to 3D anime-inspired game ever works.
I honestly can't tell if people are baiting or just genuinely have extraordinarily bad taste to defend the remake artstyle.
The only way to save the game was to have a good online mode but they fricked that up too.
The changes were mostly positive but they did butcher the script by removing potentially offensive lines like Eagle complaining about losing to a girl, Flak calling Max a gorilla and Yellow Comet being renamed to Gold Comet. They also made it so every single soldier unit, regardless of team is now culturally diverse, like blacks wearing yellow comet uniforms.
>Yellow Comet being renamed to Gold Comet.
how the frick is that offensive?
Same way Red Star was changed to Orange Star in the originals I guess
>"yellow" star
>characters from it are Asian
it's not hard to see why it was changed
>The asian standin Nation is "yellow"
They really only got away with it before because it was an asian company, when they offloaded it to an american there was no way they could keep it.
They could, they just chose not to do so. Wii Punch Out kept is asian jokes despite being made by a Canadian studio.
That's a remaster dumbass
It needs to go back to battalion wars with online multiplayer and large maps.
All they had to do was sell 1,2 and DS together as they were (fix DS sprites so they no longer look like shit) add online and map making and boom instant hit and would had cost a fraction of what the remake cost
Fricking morons at nintendo
Maybe expand on DS story with a side route about what Andy was doing while the story of DS was ongoing and add one more CO playable

Play Andy's adventure
Artist? Reverse search is failing me.
He didn't make much outside of that gif, sadly. I used to know his name, but forgot. Give me ~10 minutes to find him again
Was busy

Thanks anon!
It already has waifus
Advance Wars by web is amazing, but... I keep losing...!!
Have you tried building tank?
build more tanks
that's because like most 20+ year old games still played online, it's mostly filled with giga autists that have been playing for 20 years and will wreck any newcomers
Nah I win matches and I suck at the game
IS explicitly said they stopped making AW games because they couldn't figure out how to add waifus.
which is moronic because every female CO is a babe
>they couldn't figure out how to add waifus.
But they already had waifus in it. The remake even made them cuter.
The actual comment they made was that they couldn't add releationship mechanics like in Awakening, rather than just having waifus exist at all.
That's dumb. I'm here to play pretend war with tanks and soldiers, not to play a fricking dating sim visual novel
Then what do you need aw for? It's a subpar game with barebone IP.
If your idea of good game is spamming mech inf, I am sorry but you have the mental capacity of a child.
>optimizes the fun out of the game by playing meta strategies
>"wtf why isn't this fun??"
gee I wonder
mechs are a shit unit that almost never gets built what are you talking about
But the game had a good selection of cute girls already.
Didn't they try the anime approach with Days of Ruin then failed miserably?
>the anime approach
If anything DoR was more western inspired, but both are pretty anime.
>embrace waifus
Always had em, just not from total meme hentai artists like Saito and Kozaki.
>total meme hentai artists like Saito
Careful, you'll attract the Xeno babbies
>shipshit
that's not a waifu
The remake was my first experience with the series and it was really fun. Sami is best girl.
they have enough girls for it at least
Advance Wars has a kickass small community.
Look up the tournaments on YouTube.
From there you can find where they play it online.
It's really fun but surprising hard, almost like playing Go.
There are a few metas to learn, and victory can be the result of a mistake that lasts only 2-3 turns.
Come play TinyWars
Please
Community is so small half my wins in ranked are from timeouts.
K Ill give it a try later
I'd rather the series stay dead than get fire emblemized.
