So that's why there's no more Advanced Wars, the tanks

>tanks can't kiss
hmm... I wonder what this thread is going to turn into

>>378537197
Long story short, waifushit killed both FE and AW.

>>378537197
Not surprised, let's keep it that way. Especially after news of whos going to be in the new mosuou game; fuck nu-intelligent systems

>>378537197
seeing what hinders them making a new one I guess I'll hope it stays that way and keep the old one in good memory

Great, I am glad that the shitty dating-sim ultra-lite features not only ran Fire Emblem into the ground, but made sure that a completely different series was axed and shelved on top of it.

Man, IS used to be one of my favorite dev-houses, too.

ENJOY YOUR WAIFUSHIT
AND THEY SAID WAIFUSHIT DOESNT KILL VIDYA
FUCK WAIFUSHIT

Advance Wars is more fun than FE ever was. FE is just simplified Advance Wars with shitty RPG mechanics.

>>378537197
>the only way they can manage to revive AW is if they shove waifus onto it.

If this isn't monkey paw I really don't know what it is.

>>378537197
Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to do something like FE with the COs.

>>378538391
COs aren't playable, unlike FE's characters.
You literally can't play as anything but faceless soldiers in AW.

Oh no, Nintendo isn't going to ruin AW like FE. This is a tragedy.

>>378537741
>>378537876
>>378537983
I'm not happy about waifushit either but what do you mean it killed it? Advance wars has been dead for a long time, waifushit is being considered as a reason for ressurecting it after the revival of fire emblem

>>378538805
>Nint0ddl3r defense force arrived
Last AW games were on DS together with last non-waifushit FE games.
You're a paid shill.

Make it so you choose 2 CO before battle, the better you do the more they bond.
Or even better, bring AW back without waifushit.

But the series already has waifus.

Just make a reboot (for allowing a better story and several countries in war, instead of an alliance against an evil empire) with grand strategy elementes and diplomacy (romances) between missions and you'd be printing money.

>>378537615
I'm surprised no one has posted panzermadels yet

>>378538147
frankly it's amazing that he cites that as "the" reason he can't come up with a new AW.

Not new units, new map tiles, new CO powers/system - no, the reason he can't come up with a new Advance Wars is that he has no idea how to push waifu shit into the game.

It's not like the other AW games have cutscenes between stages, or banter between COs, or other stuff - no, we need a full-on support system.

Maybe it's best it's dead.

>>378538892
The last Fire Emblem the US got on DS was also the single worst game in the series and almost killed it worldwide.

>>378539204
Days of Ruin was a better strategy game than Dual Strike, which was filled with game-breaking configurations (like the eponymous Dual Strike), pointless stat modifiers (breaking balance again: like making Grit's direct-combat units suffer no OFF penalties) and a meh campaign (the jelly monsters have nothing on Neo Tanks, giant fuck-you cannons, or meteor strikes).

Now, DoR had a lame campaign (no CO powers until halfway through? what the fuck?) and mostly lame characters, but it was a breath of fresh air after DS's bloat.

>>378539542
aw shit, I misread your post. Disregard, I suck cocks, etc.

The DS fire emblem, Shadow Dragon or w/e it was called was really shitty compared to even the weak Sacred Stones GBA game, I agree.

There, customization options to mix up unit viability and waifus, bring back Advance Wars.

Good thing it's dead then. If IS thinks AW needed digital waifus to stay relevant then they don't know what made the series good and have no place making a new one.

Knowing the kinds on lonely NEETs that play Nintendo games it would probably be popular and revive the series for the wrong reasons.

>>378540250
I prefer them dead instead of being turned into guinea pigs of awful formulas (See what they did with Federation Force)

I tried hotgluing a rei figure to see if it would do anything for me.
I missed and hit the zaku figure i had up next to it.
So now i have a thing for hotgluing mechs or othet military hardware figures. Recently hotglued a uss arizona model, and the nazi halftrack.

Everything isn't waifus. In this case it literally means relationships.

With only the COs as actual characters there is no room for relationships among any of your units. They can't be protecting their sister, hometown or even develop a relationship with other members of the force. It's just the CO and faceless minion.

You can make up relationships between COs but it's not really like what FE puts out even without the waifu mechanics that 13 and 14 did.

Just make them the same as strike witches or Kancolle girls.

>>378538892
>reading comprehension

Pointing out that Nintendo is trying to shoehorn waifushit and basically shipfaggotry into Advance Wars because it's popular and the FEs with it sold well is shilling for it? Are you dumb?

>>378537197
Make all the units into cute anime girls, let them gain affinity points with you and each other if they perform well. Add different vehicle models, maybe equipment/upgrades and consider all the dupes to have one conciousness so you don't have to grind their affinty again and again. Basically, kancollefy my game up, famicom.

>>378538892
Are you retarded?
That wasn't trying to defend Awakening, it was just stating a fact.

Awakening was the most successful FE in ages, it single handedly saved the series from dying. Whether or not the state its in currently deserves to keep going is debateable, but theres no denying that without Awakening, FE would probably be dead as a franchise.

>>378543952

Fire Emblem has no depth, so wearing the skin alone is enough to make it Fire Emblem.

Waifus saved your series. Either you:

or

t. telliusbabby deluding themselves as usual
Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are responsible for the near-death of the series. They put a lot of money into those games and they sold worse than Shadow Dragon, which blatantly did not get the same funding.

Any games similar to Advance Wars? I don't care if the theme of the game is medieval or science fiction.

>>378546242
Considering how the GC games had worse visuals than the GBA games, they couldn't have put THAT much money into them.

Path of Radiance looked worse than most of the launch titles for the cube.

This is just as bad as Nintendo refusing to make a new F-Zero because they can't figure out how to implement some stupid gimmick to base the entire game around instead of just making a newer, tighter and faster game.

So basically because they can't shoehorn in a new gimmick they won't make a new game. Why does Nintendo feel they have to reinvent the wheel with every new game they put out?

>>378546039
Roleplay and off-topic sections of forums always dominate in terms of number of posts though. For the off-topic areas you'll find 10 different people who all reply to each other non-stop with stupid, unfunny jokes in order to pretend they're having a good time and also to rack up their post count in order to have more clout on the rest of the forum.
For roleplay it's the same thing except once two people are on at the same time and they realise it they undertake a 100 post verbose war of words. It's hardly indicative of an actual community.

Every Japanese developer does this.

Like clockwork, Pretendos come out in full force to pretend as if this is offensive.

In reality, IS is clearly thinking about how to improve the series and make it grow.

You faggots pretending that Awakening is bad can't be taken seriously, by anyone.

If you all buy that clone coming on switch nintendo will see it can sell without romance.

It's up to you to vote with your wallets.... Oh wait you would have to actually spend money? So none of you will.

In fact. The majority of you would pirate a new advance wars game had it came to 3DS. Hypocrite cucks all of you.

It "killed" its integrity and image, meanwhile becoming the newer permanent heavy-support beams for the series.

Animu girls/fujos are the event horizon for all Japanese material, much like shooting/sandbox mechanics or Zimmershit quip formulas for Western-aimed cases.

>>378537197
Bullshit, DoR started inserting overly-anime girls too and could've easily gone the Awakening route (as cancerous as it is) if they needed to "save" AW.

Nintendo just has a hard-on for FE, and has since before Melee. What they want is the overworked Japs who dig all those generic Vita-tier anime FF1 clones and fantasize about Tolkien worlds. Waifu-relationships was merely the next step in keeping them.

>>378537197

I'm annoyed that this is where the series is at, but at the same time I don't see why you couldn't write a more tightly knit story and give COs some interactions indepdendant of some support system.

Although, after the trainwreck that was Fates's writing, I don't know if I like that either.

>The problem, though, is how it could assimilate one of Fire Emblem's most popular features - the relationship-building that takes place on the battlefield.
