Advance Wars: Dual Strike...zOMG yes <3

[Blood Red Poet]

I love this game and everything about it.

Favorite CO's: Sami, Hawke(the offical badass of the series), and Andy.

Does anyone else like this game as much as I do?

Re: Advance Wars: Dual Strike...zOMG yes &lt;3

HEX YEAH!!!

I'm playing it right now. It's easier than the other two, but it's still crazy fun. I've tried and failed the "final" fight three times now. Still working on how to launch the missles. The final fight is actually pretty hard.

I have the first two games and love them! They're part of the reason why I bought a GBA in the first place.

If you didn't know, start up Advance Wars DS with the 1st and 2nd games in the GBA port and you can unlock some $1 maps and CO colors. Pretty sweet!

Re: Advance Wars: Dual Strike...zOMG yes &lt;3

lol, i'll have to try that...

btw... Jake is horrible.

"I dropped you like a phat beat".

Re: Advance Wars: Dual Strike...zOMG yes &lt;3

haha At first I thought Jake was annoying, but after a while he's worth a giggle or two.

The enemy CO with all the crappy lip stick, I can't remember her name, she's annoying! But the game is crazy fun! I love the new units! That super crazy tank is the greatest thing! I wanted aircraft carriers in Advanced Wars 2, and finally got them. I wish you could "build/buy" planes from them, but I understand why you can't.

Double Post Edited:
What other DS games do you have or suggest? I've only had mine for about a month now, and just bought my sister one for her birthday yesterday.

So combined, here's our games list:

Advanced Wars DS
Meteos
Nintendogs
Polarium
Yoshi Touch & Go

I signed up for GameFly and tried out Yoshi and bought it like 3 days later. I'm not trying out Nanostray. Not a bad R-Type game, and getting better now that I finally looked up the instructions for it. lol Not sure I'd buy it though. You have any suggestions of games I should add to my queue?

Trauma Center: Under the Knife
Kirby Canvas Curse

Re: Advance Wars: Dual Strike...zOMG yes &lt;3

The last time I said "Thats going to be a game that takes over my life" was when FFXI came out. I am saying it again with Animal Crossing for DS.

And then there is the HUGE amount of zOMG kickass games for the DS coming out.

Re: Advance Wars: Dual Strike...zOMG yes &lt;3

On a whole, I've always thought Kirby games were just too easy. There was no challenge and minimal fun. Yet I did see a brief video of the game, and it almost looked fun.

I might have to add that one to my queue. And I'll check out the Castlevania game, not so sure abou the lawyer or surgeon game though. lol

I knew there was a Chrystal Chronicles slated for the DS, and I just recently read about Final Fantasy IIID and Mario B-Ball being developed by S-E.

I played Mario & Luigi for the GBA and it wasn't bad. Fun, new way of playing, but it was pretty easy and short. I think I beat it in three nights, and was only Lv.34 in the end. Just figured it would be longer, and more enjoyable.

There also appear to be some puzzle games on that list, and that excites me. That's the main reason for me to buy a hand held, the puzzle games. I'm loving Meteos. The games becomes more enjoyable the better I get at it. I've even sucked my sister into playing it. I can't wait for some true RPGs though. The touch screen is going to RAWK!

I don't own a PSP yet, but I plan to buy one next month. How is it doing? As far as numbers go? I know a few people here on the forums has one, (TGM comes to mind) and I know a handful of people in my LS have one. Just curious as to how it's doing.

PSP does some really neat stuff, and a downgrader was recently made, so you can play SNES and GBA games, among others, on it. It really does some interesting things, but I don't like any of the games out for it right now. I actually bought Death Jr. and THUG 2 Remix, and was VERY disappointed with both.

Re: Advance Wars: Dual Strike...zOMG yes &lt;3

The PSP will start to pick up once the next wave of games starts to hit, but it seems like the DS already has its glory days for the next year insured.

Re: Advance Wars: Dual Strike...zOMG yes &lt;3

I really can't stand when people don't do anything new. PSP is just a Gameboy with a pretty screen. It has a crapload of flaws, but its deemed okay because its less of a videogame system than it is a 'multimedia' console. The only company I can really respect is Nintendo. I am not a nintendo fanboy, I plan on buying Xbox360 and have all the current gen consoles. Its just Sony has no real knowledge about anything vidoegames. "Hey put a big screen on it and make it look pretty for the teenagersLOL! Maybe we can get GTA on it and it'll be worth a damn". Everything and anything that Sony did good, they didn't do. They steal and the world would be a different place if GTA, FF, God of War, and such came out on another system. Xbox has their great online, if you can grant them anything. Nintendo actually does the work for themselves and don't freeze time. Sad because they are successful most of the time. Money buys money. Anyway....

In February, Hironobu Sakaguchi told Famitsu magazine that his studio, Mistwalker, was developing a title for the Nintendo DS. Today, Sakaguchi proudly showed off what had been previously hidden behind closed doors: ASH.

ASH – Archaic Sealed Heat – is about an ancient sealed flame. Anyone who is burned by this flame turns to ash; while the person's body becomes ash, their heart and memories remain and they can be revived. Queen Aisha, the main character of ASH, must solve the mysteries of the dead coming back to life, buried secrets, and time-travelers from the future.

Sakaguchi labeled ASH as a simulation RPG – his favorite genre – and said that he is filling the game with twenty years' worth of his ideas. His staff, however, says the game has "team tactics," so it appears that the game will synthesize simulation and tactical gameplay. ASH will also put the DS to work by using 3D graphics and displaying battle scenes on both screens. While the bottom screen shows the perspective around the character, the top screen will display the overview of the field.

It was also announced that ASH is being backed by notable talent in the game development industry. Hitoshi Sakimoto, whose lengthy resume includes the music of Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, and Breath of Fire V, is composing the game's music. Final Fantasy art veteran Hideo Manaba is serving as the character designer, although this is his first endeavor in character design. He has also worked as the Art Director for Final Fantasy VI, IX, and XII, and he worked in the art departments for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Super Mario Brothers RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
