What are some games you've followed to their grave?
I played every single Advance Wars, even Days of Ruin.
>even Days of Ruin
>even
Days of Ruin was good though
>>334684324
it was the worst advance wars and killed the series
>>334684324
Still destroyed the franchise. Even if the music was great.
Days of ruin ruined the franchise Bro. It turned it into some weird post apocalyptic weeb shit.

DoR sold better than DS,, despite not being released in Japan for like a year.

Even Famicom Wars? I decided to emulate that a few weeks ago, and it's slow as molasses. One game on the smallest map took nearly an hour because selecting anything takes an age.

Haven't played Famicom Wars. Is it any good?
>you can cripple an opponents unit in one turn to the point that they can't even attack you without killing themselves
>opponents can't use units the turn they spawn them
shit game deserved to die

It's Advance Wars stripped down to the basics. Capture cities, move units around and shoot stuff. No COs. APCs could attack too, which just seems weird to me.
Like I said, it's super slow, but it's worth giving a go just to see how the series started.

Days of Ruin is the best game in the series. I'm not saying this to try and bait out some knee-jerk response, I'm saying it because it's true. I liked the other Advance Wars games too, I mean shit, Colin in DS is just godly.
The story was legitimately interesting, the dark tone actually matches a war setting.Brenner's sacrifice was done very well. It also had a proper ending.Whereas the story in other Advance Wars games sincerely didn't matter at all, and was kind of just background noise. The music was top notch. The characters and their designs (...maybe not Gage) were solid. The gameplay made absolutely necessary changes that toned down the strength of CO Powers (because let's face it, the gameplay eventually boils down to who can get out their CO Power first to just sweep the enemy) but still made them useful in the right hands, but didn't just straight up nerf the battle system because it added CO Zones, which I enjoyed much more. It also added new units at different tiers like the Duster which despite being weak can sometimes pull your ass out of a terrible situation. I liked the game so much I've completed every bonus map on it three different times, and that takes FOREVER.
I don't know why they never made another Advance Wars after, because the game sold fairly well. Was it a blockbuster? Nah, but it was certainly the best the series had to offer.

>muh realism
>muh story
>muh balance
but what about FUN
days of ruin is the only advance wars i never bothered to finish, it was just so damn boring.
No wonder Sturm wanted to conquer the world. All he wanted to do was end the rule of the stratocracies and to the eternal conflict they wrought upon each other for the pleasure of their COs.

The real question is when's the nextBattalion Wars
Breath of Fire
>older games had up to 5 or so factions
>days of ruin had only 2
damn

>for some reason you weren't allowed to play as black hole in skirmish modes.

>>334684352
>it was the worst advance wars and killed the series
People this delusional shouldn't be allowed to have fun ever again.
>>334686293

>Tfw i remember doing the last mission of BW1 with only a foot soldier left.
>Had to take the flags centimeters by centimeters because of infinitely respawning troops trying to take the other flag
>had to go back and forth for an hour until i could take all the flags
>All of this without dying
Man I'm sure i was really bad at the game back then, but I don't ever want to relieve that.
BW3 when?
>>334686152
all this
i forced myself to play but its so god damn boring
>>334684352
>muh tone
At worst it's a really solid entry in the series, God forbid a war game have a darker plot
>>334690487
BW3 would have been a great idea with the Wii U gamepad, I think the low sales insured it wouldn't happen though.
Need for speed.
Still have the cd for need for speed II and III.
I admit i haven't played the newest one though, fucking given up.

Yeah, all the reasons people loved Advance Wars

>music isn't important
First AW thread senpai? Gushing over music is usually a third of the content.

Multiplayer has always been the thing that made Wars stand out against Fire Emblem, considering the latter has usually offered the better single-player experience. It made sense for them to finally make it into something competent.
