Nintendo should really grant you guys a new Advance Wars game either way. Now that I further think about it, this makes me realize that they'd rather make a completely new tactial warfare game then go back to AW and make a fully fledged new game. While I may not know much about these types of games from the past, I do hate to see them go neglected after having not had a game in years.
Well, join the club lol. We've been loathing for the better part of a decade without a new game.
I doubt they would make a new tactical warfare game after Codename STEAM bombed. You have to remember this is not so much Nintendo than it is Intelligent Systems call.
The main reason why Advance Wars hasn't had a game is because Intelligent Systems has this stupid mentality that Advance Wars and Fire Emblem can't co-exist. As if one series will lead the others downfall or something.
It's completely stupid as well because A) The two series have little to nothing in common and B) If this was such a huge problem for IS why can't they just give away the series to someone that will actually do something with the franchise? No matter how you look at it it's an infuriating situation the series is in. And these people keep talking as if they care about the series whenever they get asked about it. Hilarious.
