They'll probably change Nell's mole, it's on the wrong side of her face.

wonder if I should play this instead of the original?
never touched the game before

Whenever a remake comes out, I just play that one. It almost always includes QoL features missing from the original.

Well this news have already ruined my December holidays 150% for sure.

The dealy clearly isn't for Polish or bug fixing.

These games are older than a fair few here.

Nintendo hold the source code, etc. Granted they're apparently upscaling the textures, but so far everything they done gas been a low effort port, to cash in.

good i can save 60 dollars for now. also i hope it's to add dual strike that would be so cool i like dual strike the best. now i can focus on mario party superstars the D/P pokemon remake and pokemon arceus.

I very much didn't like the look of the graphics in the reveal either. However that is most definitely not why it was delayed. The graphical look isn't going to be changing this late in the game. April isn't enough time to completely redesign the game's look. Although I wish that was why they are delaying it, I seriously doubt it.

Like someone else said I very much dislike the cheap Flash looking art style of Wayforward's newer Shantae stuff. It looks Saturday Morning Cartoonish and not in a good way. Also makes me wonder if the game's difficulty will be dumbed down for the kiddies. This game could end up being a shell of it's former self.....

why dont they actually announce a game 15 days before release, or 30 days before, and not like this. fuckers!

Little more time and fine tuning of a game released two decades ago?

Wonder that that entails.

I guess some people can't comprehend the difference between the original release and half remake.

Advance Wars 1 and 2, outside of the final battle with Sturm in game one, really isn’t that difficult. It’s not like we’re talking about the strategy version of battletoads.

Anyways regardless of the delay I’m hopeful for some DLC with new maps and storylines. AW is my favorite series ever and if this reboot sells well we might get a new entry. Ideally developed intelligent systems. They can’t keep on only producing fire emblem and paper Mario.

Most of the games are actually (to mixed results) completely redone in 3D. The units, maps, and battle scenes are polygonal.

Wait to play advance wars? Nah. Pulls out ds lite for a replay.

Nobody is noticing you, Nintendo!

Whenever a simple game from a big software house gets delayed I picture in my head two interns who were in charge of developing the game and there's a delay because one of them quit.
