All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
you'd have to be pretty loving shameless to show your face in here if you actually clicked Black Hole.

Besides, we all know that Blue Moon is the most fair and balanced nation in Advance Wars, meaning it's the best. who doesn't enjoy playing against Sasha & Colin??

When are they gonna make a new one? Dual Strike went insane with power creep so I guess the reboot was justified but the new CO power system just felt boring in comparison

black hole had the best COs gameplay wise

flak was hilarious, adder was fun because of how often you got to hit the SCOP button, lash had a neat gimmick, hawke was Real Good

Hawke was pretty cool, and potentially the only normal character in a world full of animes

it's a shame that Sturm got turned into an ugly old man in AW:DS

Drake's Theme is the best theme. Don't even try to deny it.

sturm and von bolt are different characters and have different COPs. von bolt doesn't have the free move thing sturm did

though it does suck that sturm wasn't in AW:DS at all.

it's a shame the NDS's speakers were still garbage so we'll never hear some really nice, remastered versions of all the CO themes for the 3DS :rip:

Apparently it wasn't bad from a gameplay wise (and possibly storywise too) but I liked the HAPPY FUN WAR more then edgy/gritty post-apocalypse crap that's already super overdone.

days of ruin was pretty goofy

like it was post apocalyptic and the art style was dull as gently caress but the dialogue itself had a lot of jokes and poo poo, and the 'tips' section was nothing but comedic relief with like two lines of advice for the map. it had a ~serious story~ and characters died and referenced death but it wasn't 100% grimfaced like people seem to think it is.

I actually like the tone of days of ruin way more than the gba aw games. It wasn't grim dark as people made it out be it was just a bit more serious than the gba ones

a lot of the dialogue was pretty lame and some of the comedic relief was kind of forced but lin ruled because she was just deadpan the entire game, no matter what was going on

the thing about days of ruin is that the euro version had literally no jokes in it, that was all nintendo of america

in the euro versions lash is called kat which is a way better name though, so gj europe

I forgot like all the Dual Strike tracks because I only played that game with sound a couple times due to my Phat DS' speakers blowing out somehow.

That theme is groovy poo poo no doubt
