the reason the EU version might be 64 instead of 32 and it didn't change the size for rayman could be that the added languages just bumped the rom over the 32 marker, and they had to make it 64. With rayma, the rom might have actually been 50megs and the added languadges made it 55 or 60, so it would still be a 64 meg game.
isn't that stupid of nintendo??? they could have put much more in Advance wars so it could be just 64Mbit, in Europe AND in the US.

I agree with KiVan on this, while it is a good game it's nothing different to Advance Wars 1. AW1 had more cool features in my opinion. You could have a rank and it had 115 new maps, this one has 20 something new maps. only one new unit. some new terrain but that's about it. Nintendo is becoming INCREDIBLY slack!! I don't understand their tactics. They add hardly a thing and slap on 2 to the name. good game but so was AW1, this game doesn't really surpass AW1, in AW1 things were actually new.
Atually, ig you have ever played the origional Gameboy Wars, you will find it is incredibly a like to Advance Wars!, biggest changes are the graphics and campain modes but thats really it!

The new campain in AW2 is pretty damn good though.
I know of the old GameBoy wars, i've even played one of them but i still wanted something new from this game. A new campaign is expected they aren't going to release it with the same campagin. While the gameplay should stay the same they should add things to it to make it better, AW2 is good but it's just a recycled AW1 with a few little scraps of extra stuff. Least they oculd have done was make more maps and increase the custom map saving from 3 to like 10 or even 50 maps. This could have made the game so much better.
I'm sounding to negative, it is a good game and i'll be buying it when it's out but it's just the same as AW1, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to you.

Japan is not lucky! there are a lot of games that aren't released in Japan. I don't see a lot of 3rd party games there released in the us and eu. you won't find duke nukem, doom2, and more in japan. so ok, there are a lot of RPG's released in Japan only, but I hate every RPG except pokemon, zelda en golden sun.
What a moron !

I never was much into AW1, but this second game somehow just blew my mind. I`ve seriously played this 5 hours in a row which is much more what I usually play in a day(0-3 hours) and I`m not even thinking of stopping

Anyway, after I took a little pause in the game, I played AW1 a bit and found it more tedious and difficult. AW2 still is an upgraded version of the first one, but in my case the upgrades are just the ones to get me playin`. Awesome game!

Not this argument again....argh....this is getting dull ALREADY!! Everytime A premier game gets release it's the same thing! Why can't some people just enjoy the free game?

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
