how many have tried before?

I'm lame. I just emailed intelligent systems asking what it would take for them to make a new AW for the 3DS. lolll

[funwes]

Still haven't even bought a 3DS, though I've considered it. If people ask them for it and they think they can make money off of it, I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the future.

[Mr--Clean]

Considering advance wars hasnt sold too well and nintendo seams to be having trouble getting games on that thing I dont think a new AW is coming out for a long time.

[Abroxas]

Advance Wars got a lot of sequels for not having sold too well.

[Mr--Clean]

Well the recent ones anyways. I dont know any of the actual numbers but I heard somewhere that the ds and dor didnt sell anywhere near as well as the gba ones.

[[JAM]]

Japan never got DoR, so that kinda sucks.

[BurningStarFour]

I haven't bought a 3DS because I'm pretty sure there are still about -7 titles available for it. I will be upset if they release an AW for 3DS because then I'll be tempted to buy one for one freakin' game. I vowed after PSO for DreamCast, I'd never do that again. >.>

I think DoR kinda killed the momentum of sales. It tore away almost everything hardcore AW players knew and loved. The only improvements were the addition of Anti-tanks and bridges being a pass-through for sea units. Oh, and subs are deployed hidden which is a nice addition.

So since the 3ds is like the first region locked nintendo thingy, I'll wait until they get a good flash cart or hack before I buy it. I got the gold one on my amazon wish list waiting though

It would be cool if they made a AW in 3d because not all of the new games are 3d like pokemon black 2. But I hope they go back to the original format of the game, I hated days of ruin.

[headphone]

If they came out with separate games, one for each story line, I would probably get both...

The first region locked nintendo thingy was the NES.

I'd buy a new advance wars. And a 3DS with it. I'll buy a 3DS eventually anyway, it just needs a good game as an excuse for me to buy it.
Advance Wars DS did that with the DS.
I enjoyed Advance Wars Dark Conflict, but it didn't have a lot of replayability. The story was good though.
I even bought the american localisation Days of Ruin because it had different dialogue and alternate names (and was cheap.)

But Dark Conflict/Days of Ruin/Lost light as it would have been called in japanese isn't out yet in Japan (cancelled) and I don't know the reason for that. Probably the same reason why they won't make a next game.

The nes isn't region locked, because the famicon is a different system :3

[benbever]

while the famicom (with an m) isn't region locked, I'm pretty sure the NES is.
In fact I opened a few of them to disconnect the region lock chip to make them region free.

Nintendo invented the region lockout.
And now with the DSi and 3DS they created the first region locked portables.

[IndirectDragon]

When you can just unscrew the cart and take out a chip I dunno if it counts, but okay.

Despite being a huge Nintendo fangirl I still manage to use n almost every time.
