11:02 - On that note. If we are able to get an "Advance Wars: Days of Ruin" remake; I'd like to see it get the Starcraft treatment. Where on top of the strategic gameplay, we get fully cinematic FMV's to tell the story.
Days of Ruin had a surprising heavy story, but it was held back by the limitations of the DS only allowing for still character portraits with text.

I remember reading the Nintendo Power walkthrough and being fascinated, but never had a GBA. Then I got a DS, and begged my dad to take me to get Dual Strike. I was so enamored I saw units in my sleep for months afterwards.
Excited isn't a strong enough word.

Hoping it sells well. Advance Wars deserves to thrive just like Fire Emblem

[willwidrick]

I really hope that this sales well because I want to get remakes of Dual Strike and Days of Ruin

Battle network collection and now advance wars collection. I feel like I'm in my teens again. I'm loving all these gba games we are getting again

[QwertyCaesar]

It's funny bringing X-COM up as a comparison because the creator of the original X-Com has cited Advance Wars as one of his favourite strategy series ever. A few years ago he said in an interview that he still carries around a Gameboy most of the time to play it everywhere he goes.

If the map designer has been shrunk to that degree, it's going to be a huge loss. I've been hoping to recreate some of the spectacular competitive maps over at Advance Wars by Web.

Zion, ive been watching your alls previous videos and I love your personality so much! It gives me faith in humanity that people can remain understanding and empathetic past childhood. Also your passion and excitement for Nintendo really shows.

I would love to see you talk about your “dream games”. Just twists on games we love that could be done better or different. I personally would love an open island Wii Sports Resort remake where you could walk around maka wuhu and actually walk to the events/stores where you can get new equipment and clothing. Just an idea I would love to hear your opinion on! I love your content, so either way thanks!

I had no desire to get this when it was originally announced. Then the delays kept piling on and people talked about it and I started to be intrigued. I don't play strategy games. I played the original first game a bit but never cared to get into it. But I ended up grabbing it day one and can't put it down. Such a good buy. Love the newer graphics too. Feels like playing with toys lol

[marksapollo]

I've been playing Advanced Wars Dual Strike on my DS Lite, it's a fantastic game and tricky to beat too. This remake looks amazing.

[MikeAzul]

Game was so satisfyingly challenging on higher difficulties or against real people. So fun. I hope it sells amazing and we get a sequel!

[neliros]

I don’t know why but I’m oddly drawn to this game. Never played the original. Never even gave it a second thought when it was announced. But now seeing gameplay and various reviews I’ll probably pick it up.
Edit: I did actually pick it up and I love it!

[kahelimato]

So no public lobbies in multiplayer? Or quick matches? Or any other way to play against randoms? Just multiplayer with friends? To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement.
I'll still buy it and enjoy the singleplayer, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about the concept of playing one of my favorite childhood games online. Such a shame.

[Odinarcade]

To me I always liked these games better than fire emblem but was it just me or the first game was harder to find? I only ever played 2 and now that I’m older I can probably beat it now. The sandbox thing makes it feel like a war hammer Board game which actually is really really cool. Also I completely forgot about the last two advance wars games on the ds….wow I live under a rock.

[MrJamesDiamond]

The fact that Metroid Prime Remastered with its full 3D environments and PBR runs at a rock solid 60fps (even if it’s “just” 900p), and yet with this, 5 little helicopters floating on some 2D sky has the framerate jumping all over the place is unforgivable. Especially with all the time they had during the massive delay.

[Toschez]

I'm just constantly mesmerised by how good the character animation looks.

[Sean-vfqr]

It would have been nice to get all 4 titles in a collection that would be worth the $60 price tag but I’m still happy they released this collection can’t wait to pick it up

[knowledgeseeker]

I’ve had this pre-ordered for a long time. Great that I’ll finally get it.

[James-gjrn]

I hope this is a great remake, i'm looking forward to playing it and i hope it's worth the wait, i understand they want to be sensitive and careful with everything going on but keeping us waiting this long was a weird move if the game was allegedly finished long before now

[ShadeKoopa]

May want to put in a note: Online Play is friends onlys and 1v1. The "up to 4 player" mode is only local play.

It's a small negative but nothing will deter fans of the game.
