There’s always Skulls of the Shogun. Advance Wars was a direct inspiration, but it has its own little twists, such as having full range of movement instead of being restricted to a grid, being able to knock back enemy units, powering up your units by eating the skulls of your defeated enemies, etc.
It also doesn’t have, as Po would put it, “shitty-ass pixel graphics.”
Was thinking of this just yesterday. I used to play alot of Dual Strike vs with my friend. Which reminds me I need to get through that series, only one I owned was Dual Strike but i was garbage at tactics games back then I got stuck lmao.
Yeah though they should continue it, I mean FE is jumping uhh even though to some cosmetic changes, but I’m sure a new Advance Wars would do fine without them having to take it the extra anime route
Nah we’re definitely getting some swimsuit Lin next Advance Wars. Definitely the best Advance Wars waifu

I like character designs like her. Prison School’s Mari and Castlevania OOE’s Shanoa are quite similar. Is there a trope for this kind of design?
Tasha is cool too. Shoutouts to OG Sami.
She does look just like Mari. Also looks sorta like Raven from Gravity Rush, maybe it is a trope? Either way I fuck with it.
I’m assuming if another Advance Wars happens it’ll be a reboot? Wanna see my boy Andy back!
I’ve yet to buy Majora’s Mask or MH4U both of which I’m sure will be great, but looking at the upcoming games sadly looks like 3DS is almost dead for me nothing in the future except Rodea The Sky Soldier and maybe Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice appeal to me.
Any good games I may not be aware of releasing this or next year?
So…this looks interesting, a pre alpha trailer for a run n gun kickstarter game Saber Rider:
if you like beat em ups and can withstand some fan service then you may want to look into senran kagara. you also have dbz extreme butoden. I’d state more but I know you don’t like RPGs like Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Bravely Second, or Yokai Watch.
I’m planning on getting LoZ: Triforce Heroes next month.
Watched some game play of Senran Kagura and the generic art style, “fan service” AKA PG13 anime porn shit, and lackluster combat just isn’t my cup of tea. DBZ Extreme Butoden looks pretty fun and I like the 2D art, but I have no interest in any portable fighter I see no point in playing a competitive game handicapped by portable controls. I loved Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story because the Bowser and Mario and Luigi switching mechanics made exploring levels fun and I like the timing based combat it’s not simple the “watch my character do an attack” type of game play I usually find boring and shallow in turn based RPGs so I might give Paper Jam a chance it looks kind of cool I never heard of it before how did this slip under my radar? I’ll keep an eye on it.
Triforce Heroes looks like a cash grab from Nintendo reusing ALBW assets and throwing in co-op/team AI it doesn’t look like a fun experience to me. I appreciate you trying to help…but it looks like 3DS is done producing quality action and platform games I was hoping something like:
Shinobi
Cave Story 3D
Super Mario 3D Land
Kid Icarus: Uprising (incredible game really surprised me I could see why @LordWilliam1234 says this is one of his favorite games of all time)
Donkey Kong Country: Returns 3D
Kirby: Triple Deluxe
Something along those lines, I guess hoping for more games like those is too much?
EDIT: Monster Tale Ultimate sounds up my alley, can someone explain what the difference is between MH4U and MHX? As someone new to the series I was planning on getting 4, but now I guess I should wait for X. And are there any differences between Hyrule Warriors 3DS and Wii U? I own both systems, but just want to know which one is better. I really hope Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice is fire…I’m getting my hopes up a bit that SEGA learned their lesson and will deliver a classic well designed 2D side scroller…but I won’t be surprised if I’m wrong.
Wait a minute…
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D? How did I NOT know this game exists!? Once again, this thread has proven to be the best non-fighting game gaming thread in SRK>
Grezzo is apparently helping with Triforce Heroes so this will be the first Zelda game that they do that isn’t a remake.
Paper Jam went under people’s radar because they were so busy seeing red over Federation Force. And then there’s the random person here and there who is just generally unhype about about the prospect of the 2 mario rpg worlds colliding because they wanted a standalone legit Paper Mario game (my coworker).
I’d ask why can’t you just enjoy a fighting game without thinking with a competitive mindset 100% of the time but eh…
From what I understand Senran 2 gives you the option to turn the shred clothes thing off…but you found the combat to be lackluster so there’s that.
Monster Hunter X looks like it’s MH4 but with a more extreme vibe going for it in terms of moves that the hunters have. I don’t know if the Monsters will receive the same treatment or not yet. MHX hasn’t been announced for the states quite yet though. MH4 dropped 10 bucks new at least in GS recently and I know how much you’re all about trying not to buy games at their starting MSRP so this might be an opportunity to do that.
Nintendo is probably not done making stuff but they’re the only company right now out of the 3 actively splitting their attention between their handheld sector and their home console sector plus a lack of 3rd parties outside of mostly japanese devs and indies on the handheld front. You’re gonna have be patient or you can get a Vita aaaaaand definitely not get what you want.
Have you tried Gunvolt yet?
I think I’ll wait for Monster Hunter X as it looks like it’ll be MH 4.5 and as far as vita goes @Sonichuman I got one in May and am in love with it tons of great games for it that are exactly what I’m craving.
Hmmm Gunvolt totally forgot about that one thanks I’ll cop it sometime soon.
In terms of indie games probably. I’m talking about retailwise.
Finally started Xenoblade Chronicles X and the battle system immediately reminds me of Phantasy Star
For a minute you had me confused as all hell…SO MANY QUESTIONS. 1) Did you import it!? 2) HOW THE HELL IS IT WORKING ON THE 3DS?!
I accidentally typed that as I was looking st videos for it.
Ace Attorney Anime. I’m ready.
Any word on if the anime is gonna be a separate entity or cover the plot/cases from the games? I got the AA trilogy and still need to beat 2&3
Absolutely no clue. It’s not going to be out until April though so you got time.
I bought the Sega Master System theme. I like the selection of music. Heard some tracks from games that most probably forgot about or never heard of.
