DS #1964: Advance Wars Days of Ruin (USA)

[BoneMonkey]

WOW :-)

 

[Lodis]

first of many good games to come in the near future, hopefully

That depends on whether all of these people so blatantly talking about downloading the ROM will actually buy the game or not and for the most part, I doubt it.

Here's a nice jpg of a promo poster for some ppl who like to have it:

Hee hee, thanks, I'm a sucker for shit like this...

 

[SaltyDog]

Glad to see it a day early!! Heard that the story line is far darker/moodier(?) than previous AW. Hope this is true.

 

[crab-scratch]

i like the game! maybe even better than deal or no deal. the menus/saving is smooth and fast and finally there doesn't have to be a hq or city on each map - so no place to hide, sneaky cpu!

music suchs in my ears.

 

[GeekyGuy]

Wow, only nine pages of replies? Who'da thunk this game would garner so much attention.

Well, even though I think I've had my fill of strategy for a while, it's hard to pass up on something you know will be awesome.

This game is pretty good, although I'm only on the third level of the campaign, I'm already prefering it over Dual Strike.

 

[iNFiNiTY]

why does this game have whatever nfo the admins like put up? the official one is http://www.ludibria.com/nfo.php?sys=nds&sysid=2359

Eum, there are multiple dumps. I got mine from somebody, who didn't even bother to release the .nfo and simply uploaded the ROM (his own dump, I believe) to RapidShare ...

Yeah, same. It seems to have a bunch of subtle differences that I'm enjoying. Of course, I haven't gotten far either...I was playing when my son came and jacked my DS. :'(

Look forward to getting into this one, though. I never did finish Dual Strike. Just got bored with it after a while.

 

[T-hug]

Yes that appears to be a repack of the repack of the original dump. Looks like some sites got that one.
Who cares, I added the nfo from ludibria to avoid confusion.

 

[evilmerlin]

I've tried out the first three missions so far and boy am I impressed! Graphics are far more to my liking than DS was and the I really really like the darker aspect to the story. Fantastic stuff!

 

[Scathraax]

I played a few hours last night, with the leaked ROM.
Plays great, love the style.

I know how I'll be spending my day!

Great games like this deserve to be bought, not downloaded illegally (which gives the developers nothing in return).

The higher the amount of a game sold, the more likely that a sequel will be made faster.

i usually enjoy playing games in spanish...
i loved gears of war's translation ... crackdown's too.

but the whole humour and tone ... are gone.

i dont get it... its such a stupid translation i had to
switch to english. i know the original language its
japanese but... i dont know japanese. so english
its at least something nintendo spend money
translating.

maybe jeremy parish will talk about this in a future
retronauts.

Exactly....

I would rather have a few solid games than crap rushed out yearly like EA does. If 10 million people bought this game I would bet you would start seeing Advance Wars '09, Advance Wars 2010, Advance Wars 2011 ect ect.

dude...

have you seen 2007 ds's sales?

even if all the ppl in this forum didnt buy a single game
in our ds lifespan .... the game would stay over pay the
developer.

im not walking with a flag that we deserve free games
because we have no right of having them for free...
but the game market has overpriced games. if they
could sell ds games for 15 dollars i would definetly rather
buy than download... and even with the 45 dollars price
(i live in mexico and games are more expensive here)
i have hotel dusk, mario kart, new super mario and other
4. so i do buy games...

and lets just remember that 60% of our forums are 12 year
old kids... who maybe dont have the money to buy a flash card
or maybe their parents are against piracy...

so all i ask its a fair price.

 

[Joey Ravn]

People, please, let's leave the "pirates" vs. "legits" discussion for other topics. We all know good games deserve to be bought, but one is responsible for one's actions, not for what other people do. On the other hand, there are many, many people that blatantly rub their ROMs on the face of the forum... I understand you may get angry, but let's not turn this into yet another wasted topic

@FAST6191: Thanks for the tips, but I fear this is way beyond my NDS hacking. The most I've ever achieved so far is putting games like Mario & Sonic or DQ IV into English. You know, copying the contents of a folder into another... but this doesn't look so easy

 

[AlexFili]

I'd just like to say. It's smarter to buy your stuff for the Consoles, and get free stuff for the Handhelds, because the Handhelds are easier to hack anyway.

 

[[M]artin]

Yeah, uh, people that have flash carts have to shell out money to support someone too (flash cart teams). In a way, man is supporting his fellow man both ways... SO BE FUCKING MERRY AND PLAY THIS SHIT, BITCHES!
