Title: Advance Wars: Under Fire = Squad-based tactical shooter!
Post by: Oldskool on May 11, 2004, 09:29:17 AM: Go and see the pics at the Nintendo E3 2004 site! Not the best graphics, but theres probably gonna be a lot of action on the screen at the same time. mmmmm....

edit: Heres the link to Nintendos page on the game. Check the left of the page for links to screens and artwork:

Post by: Ian Sane on May 11, 2004, 08:05:19 PM: This looks cool but I have to question giving it the "Wars" name to it since it clearly plays differently than the traditional turn-based design. It seems that lately if Nintendo has a new gameplay idea they immediately try to associate with an existing franchise. We like the GAMES not the franchises so if this is really just Kuju's neat idea let it be that instead of giving us a Wars game in name only.

Plus why is it called Advance Wars? It should be Cube Wars.

Post by: Mario on May 12, 2004, 12:01:06 AM: The graphics look good enough to me. I guess it's called Advance Wars because that's what Nintendo decided to name the entire series in places that aren't Japan.

This game definately looks hit or miss. I'll wait and see how it turns out before doing something crazy like pre-ordering it. I hope it lives up to the name.

I agree with Mario though that this game can turn out really bad, but with Nintendo by Kujus side I doubt that will happen.

Post by: akdaman1 on May 13, 2004, 10:48:25 PM: This game to me looks like a mix of

Hogs of War
Pikmen
and Star Fox Armadas on foot missions

And that is good. I really love the concept and really hope that it has a multi-player option.

Post by: WuTangTurtle on May 30, 2004, 05:47:33 PM: I got to play this one at E3. (I was really surprised seeing this one)

It is like:

1. Starfox 2 (when on foot, because u can do the exact same dodging roll which in AWUF is a big advantage when outnumbered)

2. Battlefield 1942, but in third person view.

3. Warcraft, C&C, Starcraft, etc, due to the ability to select units and put them into vehicles for drop off purposes.

It is kinda weird at first but it seems it could work well.

I do like how units can sorta level up like in C&C: Red Alert 2. There is also a bunch of different units, at the E3 demo there were a few different tanks, flamethrowers, infantry, Transport helicopters, helicoters.

During the demo i felt the game really had alot in common to AW.

I really hope this game adds more strategy into it though.

Post by: RABicle on May 31, 2004, 04:51:10 AM: Ok guys, it loks like you proved me wrong on msn.

Advance Wars, unfourtunatly, is still in development for Gamecube. I will retract my previous post. I made it under the assertioin that it had been removed from Nintendo's site,w hich it was. It is now back. I'm sorry for causing some of you to get excited, I relise joy may be lacking from your life if you found this game interesting.
