No. The infantry and tanks assist trophy is all we are going to get. But if you like AW, check out fire emblem maybe?

i love the fire emblem series a lot but it's really not the same

If you have a New 3DS and somehow haven't witnessed the glory of Reyn Time, you should probably try Xenoblade out. It's a rather solid port.

Did they make an advanced wars game for the 3ds yet so they can get my money?
I have to be the only one on Earth annoyed that they went from naming the series after the console it was on (Famicom Wars, Game Boy Wars, etc) to naming everything "Advance Wars" long after the GBA ceased to be relevant. It was a cute pattern, and they just threw it away for sheer laziness. (Well, market recognition, more likely, but it still looks kinda lazy.)

days of ruin just barely squeaking onto the top tier instead of being near the top is a sad thing

is Days of Ruin good through to the end? I've played every advance wars game besides it because it got all dark and people were weighing their decisions instead of a bunch of retards loving around and acting like they didn't just watch 10 infantry units get killed by a single anti air unit

You're right, DS Wars and 3DS Wars totally sound good enough to sacrifice brand recognition

Good gameplay, pretty challenging because CO powers aren't insanely strong

That list I posted was made on GBAtemp throughout the DS's life so it's loaded towards earlier releases. The site is also gamefaqs levels of bad.

op, if you like etrian odyssey 3 then you should also try etrian odyssey 4. there's also the two untold games, but i've only played one of them and i liked eo4 better. and if you haven't played the world ends with you, then you need to rectify that.

TWEWY is the only DS game to make use of the two screens in both a functional and innovative way. And the OST is awesomeballz.

gonna spend the rest the year traveling for work so it's time for handheld gaming. haven't touched my 3ds in three years and even then I was mostly checking out ds games since I never had one. would like to get two or three games here's what ive been looking at-

DK Country Returns
DQ IV (DS)
bravely default
disgaea (DS)- played a lil on ps2 but it was overwhelming at the time, would have plenty of time to get in depth with it this time
radiant historia- never played anything from this series

other series I like but not necessarily in the mood for right now
Kirby
castlevania
final fantasy tactics

poo poo that's probably bad but I'm still considering
project x zone
card fighters clash (DS) the original on NGPC was 100% my poo poo but this one had bad reviews and none of the used copies on Amazon mention if they have the bug fixed

Heres what I already have, to give an idea of what I like:
New super Mario bros 2 was okay at best
Ghost recon was good if you like srpgs
aliens infestation was alright and that end music
luigi mansion was fun
both advance wars games were fun
the etrian odyssey with the ocean was fun


How are the smt, persona, and tales games? I've never played any of them and my tolerance for for anime/jrpg trash cliches is really low but if the gameplay is good I'll just mash a through exposition

literally the only good kirby game ever amde is dream course. hth

i like it because of how dangerous it is, but being able to port back at every staircase like in untold or each dungeon being like three floors deep like in eo4 kind of mitigates that, so 3 is my fave

i bought it because i liked the idea of a dungeon crawler but it never really captured me. but a lot of 3ds games are like that for me. i think my started but unfinished catalogue has like dq4, crimson shroud, smt4, eo4, rf4.

The only other stuff I can think of that's unique or interesting are Phantom Hourglass and 999, but both uses are a one off surprise/gimmick. I wonder how the hell they ported it to iOS.
