While it was good and possibly my favourite, the grim and dark atmosphere literally brought the series to doom.

>>379498838
I wonder what the fuck happened inside Nintendo for this game to have 2 fucking different translations, between the European and US version. Just, why?

>>379499052
>the grim and dark atmosphere literally brought the series to doom

Could you develop a little ?

>>379499052
I thought they went for it in the first place when Dual Strike didn't sell well?

Anyways, Waifu Emblem being the hot new shit it is now was the true final nail.

>>379499089
Translations are done individually by NoE and NoA respectively, thus two different translations.

>>379499481
Dual Strike sucked because of bullshit like the Dark Bombs and the totally OP supers.

>>379498838
DoR wasn't even that dark. If anything, it was similar in tone to fire emblem

>>379500126
It was certainly darker than the other AW games though.

DS was simply too far in the the silly direction.

Not to mention abandoning the old cast to shill a guy who still uses 90s slang and little sister of main character you might remember.

Days of Ruin didn't kill the franchise. Nintendo did, because they hate franchises that only sell in the west. See also: Metroid, F-Zero

The game didn't even get a release in Japan for ages, almost feels like Nintendo wanted this shit to die.

Guys... Guys...
I figured out the way to revive the series for a "final" Advance Wars:
>dual COs return, but without the OP dual strike shit
>every CO has a "special" passive traits if they don't already have one and a secondary weaker CO power that's cheaper to trigger
>if a male and female CO gets put onto the same campaign, they get 1 relationship point
>each relationship point gets you a personal off-topic conversation between the two characters expanding on their backgrounds and personalities
>when they reach the max of 4, they'll get married, and a child campaign gets spawned
>you can recruit the future version of their child who inherited the passive traits and a combined-version of his/her parents' CO powers
This shit will sell so much that a sequel called "Advance Wars Fates" will be assured. Y/N /v/?

KIU was a reboot, and FE wipes the board and starts a new continuity every game or two. This fool wants Dual Strike 2, when Andy and friends had already run out of material halfway through AW2.

>>379501578
>>379502261
In the original Japanese version Jake was a serious and aspiring CO who wore the headphones in order to keep up with constant transmissions from the frontlines to make sure his troops are safe.

>>379506210
IS went on record recently that there hasn't been another Advance Wars game because they don't know how to Fire Emblemize it, i.e.: make a bunch of waifus.

Someone at the company was out to get DoR from the start, though. The Japanese release didn't happen until 2013, and only has a platinum reward for My Nintendo.

>reboot
>last game of the franchise

????

>>379506817
It was going to be if Awakening hadn't done so well.

DoR is filled with so much dose of idealism it's objectively wrong to call it dark and edgy.

Easiest way to waifu up AW without damaging the core gameplay desu.

Days of Ruin was my first game on the DS. I liked that game a lot but it got so hard. I think it was the Forsythe battle where I gave up. I even looked up a guide and I couldn't figure out how to beat him. I wish these games had an easy mode.

I've been playing this shit for so long I can't even wrap my head around how you can lose this mission. Bad grade, stalemate, sure. But how do you lose?

>>379506750

Which one? And whats was the ROI and developmental costs? Also how interested were the devs in making more and what new could they bring to the table?

Literally all things nintendo has said it takes into consideration. Metroid after Prime 1 has not been a notable seller.

>>379511619
Apply the wall tactic.
Secure every corner around your base, advance on the land with a wall made of tanks and shit.
You can win almost every story map like this.

I too began the game without any background in the serie, and the game kicked my ass so hard I had to restart it from the beginning three times before getting good.

Honestly, no, it wouldn't be that bad. It'd be depressing, but the core gameplay is solid enough that it's pretty immune to waifufaggotry.

I can't remeber how long that took to get full medals but it was long.

The last mission on the other hand was fucking bullshit and the tactic I used had high chance of automatic failure at the start if the enemy CO didn't fly his ridiculously buffed plane where I baited him.

Then why even have COs in the game at all when they're functionally identical? Hell, the pseudo-war room maps just did away with having COs altogether and there was no real difference between those and the story missions.

And the unit balance was fucked too, anti tanks are broken, dusters are redundant, war tanks are barely any better than MD tanks, and you'll never use half of the rest of them. And the Level up shit made it even more unbalanced
