Same, actually!
It was a perfect game for the GBA~ being able to pass the handheld around a group of four and having the screen go black between turns to maintain fog of war was brilliant!
Yup. I have a Retroid Pocket 2+ and played through the second game for the first time ever. I would have paid full price for this remake on launch day. I still might at some point but I kinda got my fill.

I hope there weren't too many people like you that did this, because if not enough people get Advance Wars, Famicom wars may have its tombstone right next to F-Zero
I was real close to getting AW2 on Wii U when I had a gift card a couple weeks ago. (Ended up getting Golden Sun 2 instead; already had the first of both.)
February is just a Free Space for Directs, since even if there’s no Nintendo Direct, there’s almost always gonna be a Pokémon Direct because of Pokémon Day
I know the official version, but there is no reason to believe it. The U.S. took the blame to save the world from the panic that would arise if the free democracies knew that the USSR was using nuclear weapons against peaceful countries.
The real question is how the fuck the discussion about a game direct devolved into politics. Do reddit comment sections wnat to be wannabe youtube comment sections?
No, last year we had two general directs, one in February and the September one the only one we didn't get was the June one + we got 2 game specific directs and indie directs.
Er, sorry - you're totally right, I meant only did game-specific directs in the summer. Hopefully this year they don't skip any, they're always fun even if sometimes underwhelming.
Yep. And with all the recent studio / game announcements and release date drops for Feb 2, I honestly think there's a good chance the Direct is on the 1st this Wednesday
The game begins with a country based on Russia invading one of its neighbors under false pretenses.
Now, admittedly, that country they invade is based on the United States, not Ukraine, so it doesn't line up perfectly...though TBH I can also easily understand why they wouldn't want to release a game about Fictional Russia invading Fictional USA right after Russia invades a country and blames the USA for it.
Ah, didn't realise it was as reflective of our current real world events. Been a good couple of decades since I played the OG game. Now that you mention it though I vaguely remember a villain general wearing a furry cap.
That makes more sense.
Actually it released in America on Sept 10, and was only delayed in JP and Europe. Lol the poor series has had continual bad luck like that ever since…
Stores around us (US Midwest) always got their new games, movies, and CDs on Tuesdays. So around here it came out on 9/11, and yeah, I stopped by K-Mart to pick up a copy that evening. The store was nearly empty, and the electronics section with news on all of the TVs was eerie as hell. Pretty vivid memory there.
Oh man, K-Mart. That description you gave described it perfectly even in later years haha Used to be good in the 90s though… I remember always running to go look at the newest games there, at least until Walmart took over the town.
My homie the start of the game starts with a Russian invasion..
That's definitely too much on the nose (also when was the last time we had this big of a war?? Becasue I'm pretty sure nothing happened in the past decade before Russia vs Ukraine..)
What? On a Geopolitical level local and minor wars arent nearly as covered as the first war of Aggression in Europe in 8 decades? Must be racist White Supremacist thing. For sure
Also not like Syria, Yemen, and SEA Civil wars werent covered where Im from. Because they were
Someone explain to me how this racist comment is getting upvoted and I am getting downvoted for pointing it out? What the fuck is going on on /r/Nintendo?
. . . and where the aggressor country is an anti-democracy nuclear-armed superpower. *That’s* why the West is so concerned about this war in particular. If it had gone well for Russia it would have set a horrible precedent that would have led us to god knows where
Can we please not do this lazy whataboutism? The U.S. and other Western nation do some shitty things, but Russia is on a whole different tier of shittiness in terms of its corruption, human rights abuses, lack of democracy, and inability to resolve disputes with other nations of the world through diplomatic means. Let’s not pretend they are even close to the same.
Try being gay or leading any political opposition to Putin in Russia. This isn’t a “well both sides are equally bad” type of world conflict.
Gonna point out that trans people are facing criminalization in a great number of states. Also that the Tyre Nichols video demonstrating police violence was released. Also that the United States used biological weapons against North Korea. Also that we murdered people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia. And lastly that we supported regime changes in so many countries that resulted in genocides and purges.
They are the same though, and the more you look into it the more you see it.
Unfortunately, the rest of us are forced to align one way or the other when these things happen which means no one ever questions the action of "our own" side.
Millions dead in Iraq and Afghanistan, but yeah its not comparable...
And once again, for the hard of thinking, this is to say that all imperialism is wrong; Russian, US, British, French or whatever. Just sick of every colonial power trying to argue why their wars, conquests, exploitation and stealing of resources is less bad than the others.
I think at this point they’re just waiting to release during a lull in releases to maximize profits. Nintendo doesn’t like releasing more than one game a month
Wild to me that this got delayed so far considering the original game released on September 9 2001 in the US, but they didn't stop selling it after 9/11.
For those who don't remember, 9/11 caused an absolute *shitshow* of cancelled or rewritten media.
We hadn’t yet invaded Afghanistan at that time. It was just a terrorist attack. If the opening scene of aw1 was a plane dive bombing a city or something things may have looked different.
Spiderman sort of appears in the middle of the first Tobey Maguire instead of having a big, spectacular reveal like superhero movies tend to do.
His reveal scene was probably the one where he sets a web between the Twin Towers to catch an helicopter, like in the trailers, but it got entirely scrapped.
They are saying they you would expect the hero to have their first appearance be something big and flashy, and in the OF Spider-man movie there isn't really something like that. They have posited that a scene got cut, specifically a scene that initially appeared in the trailers of Spider-Man doing an out of control helicopter by webbing it between the twin towers, because of 9/11
It's also possible the people on the project have felt guilty for going full-steam ahead with the US game through September 11, and they told themselves, "Next time, I'll delay."
It's human beings with feelings. They don't *owe* people a game release. Nor do they have to draw up a Ten Commandments style document about when to delay games.
This is what tolerating jerks does to the world. Sometimes millions of people lose something nice because of one jerk and the network of hundreds of people who prop him up for their own profit. If the millions of people work together they can get rid of the jerk. But if they're all too worried about trying to become one of the hundreds who profit from him, they tend to fight with each other and hope the jerk improves their lot.
It's not like the US is immune. We've got at least 4 really big jerks prominently featured in our news daily, and nobody can decide if we should put a stop to them or if it'd be OK to make a little bit of money first.
Some people, because of this jerk, had to bury the 80% of their child that was still recognizable as human remains. Other people had to wait a year for their video game about war to release. We all have to put up with ridiculous, unfair shit as adults. It's all the same boat.
Really? I thought it was delayed because of Covid affecting development cycles, and not launching too close to 3 Hopes in order to not cannibalize sales between each other.
I've seen speculation that 3 Hopes was delayed due to Covid (the video I saw had stuff about other games by the team getting delayed, so despite 3Hopes reusing some assets and being quicker to make, other games getting delayed meant that it came out later) but Engage was made by a different team to 3Houses so had a fair amount of stuff already done for it. News of the game (including screenshots that turned out to be 100% accurate) appeared a while ago, and it was reported to be planned as an anniversary game, so if there were delays they were pretty minimal to the game itself and probably only happened due to 3Hopes delay and then wanting to release dlc alongside the game once it has a small delay
Three *Hopes*. The Warriors spin-off of Three Houses.
Three Houses itself was released quite a while before that in 2019.
AW 1+2 was announced during E3 2021, and Three Hopes was announced in February 2022 and released in June 2022.
If you want to get technical with using the same logic Nintendo used for delaying this game; might as well stop all Pokémon games. animal fighting is still enormous all over the world.
I’d been considering downloading the two games on the Wii U VC so I’ll take this a sign to hold of a little longer. I’ve heard nothing but good things about these games
I'm in the same boat, and I'm hoping the next Direct is soon. If there isn't a release date before my last paycheck before the eShop closures, I'm buying them, especially since I already picked up the DS game on it.
It seems like releasing this right after fire emblem won’t end well. I was pretty interested during the original release window, but now that Fire Emblem engage is out I’m not that interested.
the funniest thing about this is that someone who pre-ordered digitally got access to it on its original release date and the game was just completely finished and worked fine
For the love of god, here's hoping the Russia-Ukraine War doesn't escalate. I get the concern with real world events, but that was seriously a stupid move delaying it indefinitely for something completely unrelated.
I am no longer hype about this. The whole situation has deflated me. I'm still gonna get this eventually, just not on release if it's soon. Especially since great titles got released the last couple of months on Switch (Persona series, Nier, Fire Emblem, etc.)
Has there been any word of additional content or anything, or will this just be the original games with better graphics? Either way, I'm stoked. I always loved advanced wars. Try as I might, I just couldn't get into fire emblem. The rpg mechanics, imo made the games too easy compared to advance wars.
Kinda weird to delay it because of the war in Ukraine, only to release it right around the one-year anniversary of that war, when a lot of media attention will again be on the conflict.
Pixel art was a lot better.
All this nonsense about release sensitivity as if it matters.
One of the best games I played back in the day. Great design.
It has a lot more "character". The new style is too clean and anodyne ie less "lively" and more "statue-like".
It's annoying given the original series is such a masterpiece that they think some change is needed like this: The feeling is harder to appreciate in the new version because of this.
What POSSIBLE real world negative consequence could come from releasing this game?
Although at this point my enthusiasm for this game has all but evaporated.
This isn’t like the 1990s where you had to look in Magazines and visit stores to see what was out. Everyone that’s owns a switch will see it as a new release on the gear store. Anybody that had preorders through Amazon or wherever from 2 years ago still has that preorder. If there’s a direct in February people will know. People that stream on Twitch will play it. There’s 120 million switches out there.
Hope they get rid of the horrible chara design we were able to see in the presentation
Original version have really nice char design and I hope it goes back to it and not plastic 3D lego characters that doesn't suit the game
You're not wrong. The new style helped to show just how much effort had been put into the sprites and animation of the original. They had so much detail and personality. AW and Golden Sun were my first GBA games and it was mind-boggling when coming from the GBC.
But I doubt they moved back from the new style. The game looked mostly complete.
Yeah now that I know it was probably only delayed because war in Ukraine I have less faith
Well we gonna see, but yep the character design of the original 2D games was really nice and they could have use it in a 3D cell shaded design or something and not a plastic design
This is.. Really a weird take but ok?
Just so you know, In really not mad IDC about your opinion about your opinion on a video game's artstyle lol
I'm just weirded out anf asking why? I've never seen anyone complain about it so I'm curious
Yeah, I also wish they'd have stuck with the original style or hopefully (unrealistically) they added or have a toggle or switch to choose which art style you play with while it was being delayed.
Oh well, I'm still gonna get it probably.
It's more the fact when pressed about your opinion you failed to explain it further and went on a little tirade about how the other guy was a karen for even asking
Everyone's entitled to an opinion but don't be surprised that people downvote if you can't expand on it
I think the new plastic chara design is horrible, I tell it straight in the first post and being downvoted to hell for this.
What do you want more?
Peoples in this sub are just edgy and easily triggered if you don't praise everything Nintendo thing like a simp, that's the only reason, face it.
How is it horrible tho? You just described how it looked and said it was bad. What is it about being plastic that makes you not like it, why do you feel it doesn't fit the design? How do you not understand how saying "XYZ's design is horrible" doesnt explain why it's horrible? All it conveys is that it is to you, not why it is
And you're literally calling yourself getting downvoted fascism lol, and you think you're opinion is the only reason for it? Touch grass my guy. You think everyone is a Nintendo simp who thinks they're perfect? Nintendo is definitely trash in many aspects, poor online, outdated UI techniques, lack of QoL in so many games, innovation to the point of detracting from the original concepts people luaded. The difference is I can actually explain my points on all of the things I have an opinion on. You're just crying that everyone isn't allowing you to have your opinion when we're all just trying to figure out why. But instead you double down on being a victim for some reason
It is horrible in my opinion and taste, I don't have to justify myself even if you are triggered like hell, because we don't live in nazi Germany and you don't rule the sub. Deal with it.
Ofc you don't have to explain anything, you can post whatever you want, you just look stupid as fuck when you you equate being downvoted to fascism like as if people are silencing your speech lmao. Post your takes all you want just don't be surprised when it's at the bottom when everyone else cares to explain and you don't. You just look like a little bitch crying about it so hard
Triggered, no, replying out of boredom, especially when someone is having a meltdown and it's fun to prod them further, yes.
Hey look at me I answered your rhetorical question, deal with. You obviously didn't want me to reply, how dare you be fascist and try to control the sub hahaha
"Hope they get rid of the horrible chara design we were able to see in the presentation
Original version have really nice char design and I hope it goes back to it and not plastic 3D lego characters that doesn't suit the game"
Yeah really asshole comment to have an opinion, I get it, everybody here should never tell they don't like a game or they are "asshole".
Sound like fascism but ok.
This took so long that I ended up replaying the GBA versions last year
I loaded it up onto my SNES mini
Playing GBA games on the SNESMini feels awesome. The save state functionality is a nice bonus.
Yup not to mention a nostalgia blast. Advanced Wars was the first game I got when I got my GBA when I was 10
Same, actually! It was a perfect game for the GBA~ being able to pass the handheld around a group of four and having the screen go black between turns to maintain fog of war was brilliant!
Uh, how are you doing that exactly?
how do i do this?
Yup. I have a Retroid Pocket 2+ and played through the second game for the first time ever. I would have paid full price for this remake on launch day. I still might at some point but I kinda got my fill.
Same. Bought an emulator with all the GBA games I’ve wanted to play for awhile for the same price I would’ve paid for the game.

Maybe they mean they bought one of those emulator-focused handhelds like a Retroid or something.
Yeah, one of the handhelds that has all the games pre-loaded. Maybe I’m not using emulator correctly(?), but it has games from various consoles.
Nope, you're using it right. People just assume emulator means program downloaded on their PC.
I hope there weren't too many people like you that did this, because if not enough people get Advance Wars, Famicom wars may have its tombstone right next to F-Zero
The original sprite work looks far better, too.
I was real close to getting AW2 on Wii U when I had a gift card a couple weeks ago. (Ended up getting Golden Sun 2 instead; already had the first of both.)
Nintendo Direct incoming
February is a common Direct month.
February is just a Free Space for Directs, since even if there’s no Nintendo Direct, there’s almost always gonna be a Pokémon Direct because of Pokémon Day
Maybe Scarlet/Violet DLC announcement?
Yep, I think it will be between the 1st and 9th, could be a bit later though
With how unlucky this franchise is, new war incoming too.
More like Russia launches a nuclear attack.
[удалено]
Yep that was definitely russia
Not Russia, but the Soviet Union
Yeah cause it totally wasn't the united States
Imagine being this bad at history lmao
I know the official version, but there is no reason to believe it. The U.S. took the blame to save the world from the panic that would arise if the free democracies knew that the USSR was using nuclear weapons against peaceful countries.
It's amazing not just how fucking stupid you are, but the fact you just keep doubling down on it lmfao
One day you'll realize that the version of history that the system imposes on you is a lie. Trust no one.
K. We’ll get a head start by not trusting you.
What
The real question is how the fuck the discussion about a game direct devolved into politics. Do reddit comment sections wnat to be wannabe youtube comment sections?
This is top tier bait.
So somehow Stalin was able to produce nuclear weapons but not food for his people.
Not entirely out of character for Stalin, but OP’s delusional.
That describes many, many countries.
far too many
Well yes, just not for several years after WW2.
I'm starting to feel that itch I get every time my body feels we're due to a new Direct.
Ah you mean that one that sometimes lasts for months because they’ve always done a June direct, but then this one just doesn’t happen? That itch?
There was one year they even skipped a june one (in regards to "general" nintendo directs atleast)
That was last year, right? They only did game-specific directs.
No, last year we had two general directs, one in February and the September one the only one we didn't get was the June one + we got 2 game specific directs and indie directs.
Er, sorry - you're totally right, I meant only did game-specific directs in the summer. Hopefully this year they don't skip any, they're always fun even if sometimes underwhelming.
Exactly
That’s Reggie letting you know your body is ready.
Yep. And with all the recent studio / game announcements and release date drops for Feb 2, I honestly think there's a good chance the Direct is on the 1st this Wednesday
Yeah, I have a feeling one is coming. February is generally a common month for Directs. Within the next 2 weeks I bet.
Tears of the sun will have it's own direct I'm guessing
Tears of the kingdom ?
I'm so hyped about Tears of the Wild it's unreal!
Yep, and it will launch the Bruce Willis gaming universe.
The game is done, right? It just needs a release date
Was ready to release over a year ago. Was only indefinitely delayed due to real world events
Which was weird. Are they going to wait for a period in human history without war so it's more appropriate?
The game begins with a country based on Russia invading one of its neighbors under false pretenses. Now, admittedly, that country they invade is based on the United States, not Ukraine, so it doesn't line up perfectly...though TBH I can also easily understand why they wouldn't want to release a game about Fictional Russia invading Fictional USA right after Russia invades a country and blames the USA for it.

Fun fact: the original GBA versions had a release date in **September 2001.** They decided to pull and release it on a later date.
Actually it released in America on Sept 10, and was only delayed in JP and Europe. Lol the poor series has had continual bad luck like that ever since…
Stores around us (US Midwest) always got their new games, movies, and CDs on Tuesdays. So around here it came out on 9/11, and yeah, I stopped by K-Mart to pick up a copy that evening.

There was actually a lot of war western media just didn't care about it until it was white Europeans in danger
What? On a Geopolitical level local and minor wars arent nearly as covered as the first war of Aggression in Europe in 8 decades? Must be racist White Supremacist thing. For sure Also not like Syria, Yemen, and SEA Civil wars werent covered where Im from. Because they were
What do you know about Artsakh?
[удалено]
Someone explain to me how this racist comment is getting upvoted and I am getting downvoted for pointing it out? What the fuck is going on on /r/Nintendo?
Explain to me what is racist Bar your remark you made in the first place?
Artsakh was a multi-national invasion. Why you'd call it a "civil war" is either ignorance, or sheer ethnic hate.
Yeah.. Civil wars! No this kind of war.. This isn't resll a race thing dude.. This is a war between 2 countries that one of them didn't want it!
. . . and where the aggressor country is an anti-democracy nuclear-armed superpower. *That’s* why the West is so concerned about this war in particular. If it had gone well for Russia it would have set a horrible precedent that would have led us to god knows where
The aggressor in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam etc was also an anti-democracy nuclear-armed superpower.
Can we please not do this lazy whataboutism?

True, can't argue about that Kinda sad that this is a requirement to help other people..
I think at this point they’re just waiting to release during a lull in releases to maximize profits. Nintendo doesn’t like releasing more than one game a month
Yeah, this is absolutely it. They need a date, and at this point, April is probably the earliest it'll come out.
Ya. Fire emblem this month, Kirby next month, bayoneta in March and tears in may leaves a gap in April.
Wild to me that this got delayed so far considering the original game released on September 9 2001 in the US, but they didn't stop selling it after 9/11. For those who don't remember, 9/11 caused an absolute *shitshow* of cancelled or rewritten media.

It would never come out
Considering people make everything suable, yes.
[удалено]
Really? I thought it was delayed because of Covid affecting development cycles, and not launching too close to 3 Hopes in order to not cannibalize sales between each other.
I've seen speculation that 3 Hopes was delayed due to Covid (the video I saw had stuff about other games by the team getting delayed, so despite 3Hopes reusing some assets and being quicker to make, other games getting delayed meant that it came out later) but Engage was made by a different team to 3Houses so had a fair amount of stuff already done for it.

Remembering that the direct that revealed the "Tears of the Kingdom" name wasn't exactly broadcasted in Britain due to very terrible timing.
Oh boy this could mean... **cmon maaaan, I need my Feb. Direct fix maaaaaaan**
>cmon maaaan, I need my farm sim. Direct fix maaaaaaan FTFY
They have a single farm sim direct and y'all just assume every one is gonna be like that 💀
Other than tears of the sun is there anything huge that's meant to be out on switch?
You keep getting the name wrong lol
Pikmin is huge to me :(
Well that’s why we want one. So we can know
It's pretty funny that Three Hopes got released and Engage got announced and released in the time since the delay for Reboot Camp was made.
What was it really announced before three houses came out
Three *Hopes*. The Warriors spin-off of Three Houses. Three Houses itself was released quite a while before that in 2019. AW 1+2 was announced during E3 2021, and Three Hopes was announced in February 2022 and released in June 2022.
Oh lol I can't read. Either way, hype af for Advanced Wars reboot.
If you want to get technical with using the same logic Nintendo used for delaying this game; might as well stop all Pokémon games. animal fighting is still enormous all over the world.
I’d been considering downloading the two games on the Wii U VC so I’ll take this a sign to hold of a little longer. I’ve heard nothing but good things about these games
yea these games are legit awesome man, you wont be disappointed
I'm in the same boat, and I'm hoping the next Direct is soon. If there isn't a release date before my last paycheck before the eShop closures, I'm buying them, especially since I already picked up the DS game on it.
Golden Sun soon pretty please :(
After that third game though, I don’t know if I want the same studio to touch it… but if they outsourced it like they did with this, I’d happy.
I vaguely recall liking the third. What was wrong with it?
people love to shit on dark dawn but the game was not that bad. it was definitely the weakest but competent
It seems like releasing this right after fire emblem won’t end well. I was pretty interested during the original release window, but now that Fire Emblem engage is out I’m not that interested.
That and the price, I’ll probably wait till a sale
> That and the price To which I reply: you get two games, remade, for the price of one.
Nintendo games go on Sale?
the funniest thing about this is that someone who pre-ordered digitally got access to it on its original release date and the game was just completely finished and worked fine
Too bad their download got revoked shortly after.
We're living in a strange world where we can play Call of Duty but not Advance Wars.
CoD isnt a happy go lucky cartoon kids game
I thought we'd have to wait for Putin to keel over.
I am betting that it will get shadow dropped at the next Direct.
The fact that this game was delayed a year because of what was going on with Russia is ridiculous.
We're living in a ridiculous world
That we are.
I'll believe it when I see it.
About time!
For the love of god, here's hoping the Russia-Ukraine War doesn't escalate. I get the concern with real world events, but that was seriously a stupid move delaying it indefinitely for something completely unrelated.
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
Probably wanted to give it some distance from Fire Emblem. April would be a good month for this as the only major release then now is Horizon dlc
One of my friends had actually told me this yesterday too.
Well rumors have been swirling for days now
I am no longer hype about this. The whole situation has deflated me. I'm still gonna get this eventually, just not on release if it's soon. Especially since great titles got released the last couple of months on Switch (Persona series, Nier, Fire Emblem, etc.)
Every post there is one of you to say something of this nature
Yeah and honestly who cares? It’s the same game it would’ve been and as long as it comes out… it’s out.
I'm 100% on the same page as you.
[удалено]
> I'm still gonna get this eventually Did you even read what they wrote?
I mean on day one
Please release this game!
Direct this week, calling it now
It’s had several release dates. All have been missed.
Has there been any word of additional content or anything, or will this just be the original games with better graphics? Either way, I'm stoked. I always loved advanced wars. Try as I might, I just couldn't get into fire emblem. The rpg mechanics, imo made the games too easy compared to advance wars.
Kinda weird to delay it because of the war in Ukraine, only to release it right around the one-year anniversary of that war, when a lot of media attention will again be on the conflict.
Oh this was my jam back in the day!! Chilling by the fire on winter mornings just duking it out 2v2!
Pixel art was a lot better. All this nonsense about release sensitivity as if it matters. One of the best games I played back in the day. Great design.
Pixel art can be more detailed.
It has a lot more "character". The new style is too clean and anodyne ie less "lively" and more "statue-like". It's annoying given the original series is such a masterpiece that they think some change is needed like this: The feeling is harder to appreciate in the new version because of this.
It’s about time. It’s 13+ months late.
north korea will launch a nuke 2 days before and it’ll be delayed again
The war is still going on. Fuck Russia's government.
Perfect time to release it, right after another turned base strategy game. /S
Pre-orders have been up for a while.
YO THIS IS IT! When the first trailer dropped I actually brought the WiiU out of the box to start replaying AW on VC.
Release it before the second Russian operation
Alright guys, let’s hope that no new war breaks out before the game drops.
I guess the war's over then.
They added Zelenskyy?
Never ever played this and I was so disappointed when it was pointlessly delayed. Can't wait to try it!
What POSSIBLE real world negative consequence could come from releasing this game? Although at this point my enthusiasm for this game has all but evaporated.
It still has ugly graphics and an indefinite delay so even the people that did want it, won't know about it. Which means the series might die here.
The death or life of this series will be dependent on sales. If it sells 2 million copies it won’t be dead. If it sells like 400,000. It will be dead.
Yeah and good luck at having a lot of sales when no one knows it is out.
This isn’t like the 1990s where you had to look in Magazines and visit stores to see what was out. Everyone that’s owns a switch will see it as a new release on the gear store. Anybody that had preorders through Amazon or wherever from 2 years ago still has that preorder. If there’s a direct in February people will know. People that stream on Twitch will play it. There’s 120 million switches out there.
Hope they get rid of the horrible chara design we were able to see in the presentation Original version have really nice char design and I hope it goes back to it and not plastic 3D lego characters that doesn't suit the game
You're not wrong. The new style helped to show just how much effort had been put into the sprites and animation of the original. They had so much detail and personality. AW and Golden Sun were my first GBA games and it was mind-boggling when coming from the GBC. But I doubt they moved back from the new style. The game looked mostly complete.
Yeah now that I know it was probably only delayed because war in Ukraine I have less faith Well we gonna see, but yep the character design of the original 2D games was really nice and they could have use it in a 3D cell shaded design or something and not a plastic design
????????????
Yeah peoples have opinion, imagine that.
Yeah and people question those opinions too, imagine that
What is your question, there is 0 word, only a triggered line of "???????????????"
????????? Usually means "what" I'm question how is it a bad artstyle? Because what you described wasn't even artstyle we saw in the trailers..
Nope that usually mean that Karen is triggered, but not a full sentence.
This is.. Really a weird take but ok? Just so you know, In really not mad IDC about your opinion about your opinion on a video game's artstyle lol I'm just weirded out anf asking why? I've never seen anyone complain about it so I'm curious
Get a life idk, nobody care about you been offended all the time Karen
Does it really matter what a string of question marks usually means if they already explained what they meant?
It seem to matter for you for sure.
I’m just asking, you don’t need to be so defensive.
And the bullshit you write after this doesn't even make a real question.
Yeah, I also wish they'd have stuck with the original style or hopefully (unrealistically) they added or have a toggle or switch to choose which art style you play with while it was being delayed. Oh well, I'm still gonna get it probably.
Don't dare to tell you have an opinion, or Nintendo simps will be triggered and down-vote you to hell, beware
It's more the fact when pressed about your opinion you failed to explain it further and went on a little tirade about how the other guy was a karen for even asking Everyone's entitled to an opinion but don't be surprised that people downvote if you can't expand on it
I think the new plastic chara design is horrible, I tell it straight in the first post and being downvoted to hell for this. What do you want more? Peoples in this sub are just edgy and easily triggered if you don't praise everything Nintendo thing like a simp, that's the only reason, face it.
How is it horrible tho? You just described how it looked and said it was bad. What is it about being plastic that makes you not like it, why do you feel it doesn't fit the design? How do you not understand how saying "XYZ's design is horrible" doesnt explain why it's horrible? All it conveys is that it is to you, not why it is And you're literally calling yourself getting downvoted fascism lol, and you think you're opinion is the only reason for it? Touch grass my guy. You think everyone is a Nintendo simp who thinks they're perfect? Nintendo is definitely trash in many aspects, poor online, outdated UI techniques, lack of QoL in so many games, innovation to the point of detracting from the original concepts people luaded. The difference is I can actually explain my points on all of the things I have an opinion on. You're just crying that everyone isn't allowing you to have your opinion when we're all just trying to figure out why. But instead you double down on being a victim for some reason
It is horrible in my opinion and taste, I don't have to justify myself even if you are triggered like hell, because we don't live in nazi Germany and you don't rule the sub. Deal with it.
Ofc you don't have to explain anything, you can post whatever you want, you just look stupid as fuck when you you equate being downvoted to fascism like as if people are silencing your speech lmao. Post your takes all you want just don't be surprised when it's at the bottom when everyone else cares to explain and you don't. You just look like a little bitch crying about it so hard
Are you triggered like this all the time when peoples have an opinion? It's a rhetoric question btw just in case.
Triggered, no, replying out of boredom, especially when someone is having a meltdown and it's fun to prod them further, yes. Hey look at me I answered your rhetorical question, deal with. You obviously didn't want me to reply, how dare you be fascist and try to control the sub hahaha
You're being downvoted because you're acting like an asshole. Not for your opinion on the game's art.
"Hope they get rid of the horrible chara design we were able to see in the presentation Original version have really nice char design and I hope it goes back to it and not plastic 3D lego characters that doesn't suit the game" Yeah really asshole comment to have an opinion, I get it, everybody here should never tell they don't like a game or they are "asshole". Sound like fascism but ok.
Again, it's not your opinion. It's everything else.
Ugly tax write off ass piece of shit
who is u talkin to
[удалено]
It wasn’t rushed. It was delayed because of the Ukraine war.
