DC

none of them

Why did this series die?

Because DoR didn't sell very well and Fire Emblem has traditionally sold better. I'm still a bit surprised they haven't given Advance Wars the waifu emblem treatment, maybe Nintendo is worried about cannibalizing their market with more than one turn based game.

It's a shame, DC/DoR was the best one yet.

They sort of did

>Because DoR didn't sell very well

Such is the fate of attempting to appeal harder to a specific fanbase. Which is a shame because DoR wasn't quite what I wanted after Dual Strike, but it was still a fun game. Although the few sales numbers I've looked up seemed to imply that DoR/DC actually sold better than Dual Strike.

Either way, it's a fucking shame the series is dead.

Days of Ruin didn't come out until years later in Japan. I think something weird happened internally at Nintendo.

No doubt Dark Conflict. I see some people claim that Dark Conflict is dull and dreary whereas Days of Ruins is somehow fun. But that's dishonest if you ask me.
Days of Ruin is still dreary, gritty if you may. Yet it forces this wacky and whimsical tone in the midst of it. But only occasionally.

In short Days of Ruin has consistency issues in terms of its tone and presentation. Whereas Dark Conflict plays to the strengths of the tone and presentation the best it can.

Like, fucking Wikipedia is telling me it was a platinum Club Nintendo reward in 2013, and that was its only release in Japan.

Days of Ruin.

And Will is a better name.

>Advance Wars 1 and 2 don't release in Japan until 2006 because 9/11 for some reason
>Dual Strike was a flop in Japan
>DoR was a flop in the west because it missed the point of AW's appeal
Fuck Fire Emblem.

>Advance Wars 1 and 2 don't release in Japan until 2006 because 9/11 for some reason

That can't possibly be the reason. I know AW1 came out the day before 9/11 but how would that in any way affect the release in Japan?

Advance Wars 1 came out first in America, before it ever saw release in Japan. Then 9/11 happened, and Nintendo probably felt that a cartoony game about war would be in bad taste.

yeah released 5 years late. really fucking bizarre because on the cart for the NA release of the game is a 100% complete japanese translation, just hidden in the code.

No, that bit makes sense, and would hold up if AW2 didn't come out in the west in 2003, also before either game came out in Japan.

And also now I'm reading the wikipedia page and they weren't even sure if they wanted to release AW in the West because baka gaijin can't understand glorious grid-based tactical gameplay, so now it makes even less sense that the English version of AW would come out even before the Japanese version.

Why live?

It's my favorite AW game. I really enjoyed the gameplay and art. I'd rather have more AW than FE, but at least one of these series is still alive.

Nintendo sometime releases things in America first; I know Twilight Princes came out a couple weeks before the Japanese version, and the DS was like that too. Don't know the reason for it; marketing probably just decided to release AW1 a week or so later, and then 9/11 happened.

Advance Wars will return....as a phone game

wouldnt really mind it as long as it wouldnt be behind a paywall and actually well done

As long as it's not freemium shit, I would be ok with it. It's not like it needs a controller to be played

wait did the game get two different localizations?

Okay, what are the differences between these?

script

strategywiki.org/wiki/Advance_Wars:_Days_of_Ruin/Regional_Differences

Let me rephrase that. What are the differences in the script?

Is dual strike the most broken game of all time?

My nigga.

Which of these should I play?

Names and DC has a more serious tone were as DoR is goofier.

>DoR is goofier.

This. I went into DoR fully expecting a grimdark serious apocalypse story.

Little did I know that it would be the most wacky and joke-filled AW to date.

Nintendo doesn't care about the 80% of its market that isn't japan. This series never sold in japan, so it's been trashed. More or less the same story as Metroid, except we got to finish on a high note.

Days of Ruin outsold the nearest FE release, Shadow Dragon, despite not having a japanese release. The three prior Wars games didn't sell that much worse than their FE analogues, either.

Dark Conflict's script is more or less a machine translation of the japanese raw. Days of Ruin has a lot more localization to it, and unlike more recent NoA products it's actually pretty decent. Think Woolsey.

Famicom, Super Famicom, and the Game Boy Wars games are all way more fucked.

new advance wars for 3ds this year

>Think Woolsey.
That honestly doesn't make it sound good

Dat Lin

I want her to teach me her sexual strategy.

I thought it had a nice cult follow going though, if you watch densha otoko you can see a bunch of 2ch'anners referencing famicom wars constantly

You mean
>why did the entire genre die
Making a monetised clash of clans clone takes less effort and makes 100x as much money

Well, fortunately weebs like you are a minority in these threads.

Remember that really weird mode in dual strike where you could play as a army against a friend? Like you could just pick a tank and go around shooting little bullets at each other, I thought it was so weird that you had to go out of your way to find it.

What the fuck

I'd prefer a localization where any additional humor injected into the script feels like a natural part of it rather than being far too obviously the handiwork of a translator

This is not what comes to mind when I think of the name "Woolsey"

DoR.

Didn't this happen in dual strike? I never finished the second half

Which is more faithful?

Just throw a bone to the waifufags in a way that doesn't damage the core gameplay. Like make the units into girls à la Kankolle or something, that'd mesh pretty well with the whole CO-unit thing.
Fuck I dunno. DoR already trimmed out just about all of the bullshit the series had accumulated.

>ywn bury your face in that midriff

You'll get to polish her artillery in the japanese version of AW5.

Days of ruin is a cooler name, but Dark conflict definitely has a better logo.
