This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

OMG, speaking of Advance Wars, there is a new version of Advance Wars 1 & 2 coming out for the Nintendo Switch, with 3D polygonal graphics.

Looks like I'm finally buying a Switch when this comes out.

  • the old Battle Isle series
    Panzer General series
    an old 40K Epic clone of panzer general called Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War Nectaris: Milirtary Madness
    Dai Senryaku VII: Modern Military Tactics
    Future Wars
    Sword of the Stars: Ground Pounders

Also, remember that Advance Wars was a carryover from Gameboy Wars 1-3 on the Gameboy and Gameboy Color.

Some good news to start of 2021: The developers of FTL have put out a new Advance Wars like game with some fun new gameplay ideas.  It is called Into the Breach, and it is mechs fighting kaiju in turn-based isometric combat.

It is currently on sale on Steam. I bought it on the recommendation of a friend, and find it very good.

Nintendo just delayed this game as a virtue signal. I guess little blue tanks fighting little orange tanks is a bit too close to reality.

As a final followup, Nintendo finally released Advance Wars 1 & 2 Reboot Camp for the Nintendo Switch on April 21, 2023.

It's... OK.

If you've never played the game before, you'll probably like the reboot, and at present it is by far the cheapest way to buy and play the game.

I prefer playing the original games on emulation on my G Cloud to playing the Switch version. The music on the new game sounds like they put it through a loudness filter, to its detriment. The graphics on the new game are good, but the graphics on the original are more iconic. I find it harder to tell some of the units apart on the new version, particularly the Medium Tank and the Regular Tank. I also can't read a map on the new game as instantly as I can on the original.

The remake hits me like a bad photocopy of the original.

I've played "Great little Wargame" on Android and it's a lot of fun and a lot like Advance wars.
Can you tell me a little more about the game information
