Its coming out Jan.21st in the U.S... anyone else counting the days? *Post all screenshots, details, and comments here.

TheNeck · 01-12-2008, 10:04 AM

Yeah im looking forward to it as well, cant wait.

**EminentJonFrost** · 01-12-2008, 12:01 PM

Another Advance Wars?!

How in the world did this news not come to my attention earlier...? This makes me seriously consider getting a DS.

**Joey** · 01-12-2008, 12:03 PM

This one's supposed to be a little more serious...

I've only played a little bit of... Dual Strike, I think it was called? It was quite good... And I can't stand RTS's...

Nintendo seems to have a way of making games that I like, in Genres that I usually hate.

**Adiuvo** · 01-12-2008, 12:49 PM

I finished Duel Strike a while ago, and found it too colorful. Even on the last battlefield where everything was a desert it was colorful...

But from the screenshots this one looks like it'll change that

**PopeOfDope** · 01-12-2008, 02:11 PM

I liked the colourfulness but I also like the fact that they are trying to take the series in a new direction, I'll be getting this as soon as it's released.

One thing that annoyed me a lot in Dual Strike was the fact that CO powers and double teaming was really overpowered. My combo was usually Hachi and Kanbei, use Hachi to make super cheap units from your cities and then switch to Kanbei who had amazing offense and defence.

In this game, I've heared that the powers have been toned down a lot, so hopefully it will be more balanced and online should be fun.

**reaperchad** · 01-12-2008, 03:17 PM

C.O. powers are supposed to effect allies closer to the base... and as you become better your range increases. Btw you can now hold up to 50 homemade/online maps on your DS.

im on the 15th mission i believe, and i havent used a CO power yet, either a) idk how, or b) there isnt any or there extremely hard to get.

ya im stuck on the mission Icy Retreat, any advice is needed.

**Joey** · 01-22-2008, 01:40 PM

I must say, I'm absolutely horrible at this game... It took me 5 tries the beat the 4th mission.

youll get the hang of it. after i played a few matches it all came back naturally.

**Joey** · 01-22-2008, 01:48 PM

Well I have nothing to "come back" since I only played Dual Strike for a combined 2 hours...

i really dont feel like playing atm, im watching that new fox show, the moment of truth, and i got midterms tomorrow and i gotta get a good night sleep.
i think to play we just add each other to friends and then search for a game at the same time, and it will see if any of your friends are online.

Schultzy2b2 · 01-23-2008, 05:30 PM

DOES ANYONE WANNA PLAY RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY MOMENT??? i will play you my friend code is listed on my comments up above

Mission 13 is a monster...any help would be great.

**Adiuvo** · 02-01-2008, 07:05 PM

How do you change COs and use their powers? I'm confused >_>

**Mister Chief** · 02-01-2008, 11:57 PM

I assume it's like the others so hit A and its in the menu.

**VictorB** · 02-07-2008, 04:17 AM

I wish the game had a Phoenix Wright bent to it, so I could yell, "OBJECTION!" and a coordinated tactical nuclear weapon strike would end the game.

**reaperchad** · 02-17-2008, 10:03 PM

NO to use CO powers you must have your unit over your headquarters.
