    Never played the originals but I kind of dig the art style actually. Vehicles have an almost plasticky or toy look to them. Like playing with GI Joes or Army Men when I was a kid

      While I do agree, I think it would've benefitted from some sort of occlusion to outline the unit models so they don't blend together into an amorphous mass of colour during the battle animations. Or even a cell shading type of colouring where the edges of the models are highlighted in black to make them more visible. The aesthetic is great, but I think a little more could've been done to realize it.
      Also, do you know if the VA can be turned off?

    Advanced Wars is an absolute classic series. I replayed both GBA last during Covid lockdowns and I've been dying for this port. The fast forward button is a gamechanger for quality of life fixes for when you have a match with a ton of units in play and keeps me from disabling the battle animations. I really hope they get around to doing a port of Dual Strike on a single screen for the Switch. I also agree that the new art style is the weakest point of the port.

    I definetely prefer the pixel art of the original. That's why I picked up one of my all-time GBA favorites on Wii-U for $8 just before this $60 cash-in came out.

    This game looks pretty cool. Great review from the best to do it. I find if Victor likes or dislikes a game I could pretty much guarantee that I will like or dislike the game cause we have the same gaming tastes

      There’s an approachable charm to this that Into The Breach doesn’t quite have plus way more units on screen to play with. Both great. The Switch is a strategy fan’s dream console!

    I loved the GBA advance war and but as a returning player, I found the first 10 missions and tutorials very annoying. I wished the Switch version have a function to skip some of the beginning missions.

    Fantastic game, great to play this again, never expected Advance Wars to return.
    I wish they went for a 2DHD look like Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy etc. though. The new graphics lost a lot of the charm. Anyway, great game!

  • @devan_danger

    It's too bad they didn't incorporate a mixed medium approach to the art direction where the units on the map could've been their pixel art originals and they could've spent more time making the battle scenes actually look decent.
    Also the performance is very much inconsistent which matters less for a tactics game but still disappointing coming from Nintendo

    They should have had a graphics option to switch to the old sprite animations as alternate look, the 3-d models look really bland.

    It's freaking insane they aren't releasing this game in Japan. You know... where the series was born? I know it struggled there, but I also feel it's a disservice to the original creators by not releasing it there.

    You can tell Nintendo gave WayForward a nothing budget to make that game...WAY more production values in the FE series. I am a stan for very good sprite work and this is not it. At least they were able to get the core gameplay in there.

    • @EPN
      @EPN  Рік тому +3

      FE went through a lot of iterations before it got the mega budgets of event titles. Advance Wars will keep rocking. It’s also harder to market Advance Wars than the fantasy fuelled Fire Emblem franchise.
