[quote]Advance Wars makes its way from the Game Boy Advance to the Nintendo GameCube where the turn-based strategy favorite transforms into a fast-paced, 3-D, real-time combat action game.

Players take to the battlefield with dozens of soldiers, organizing them into small squads and directing them into the fray. While you can only command a small number of soldiers at a time, the ones not under your direct control don't just stand at ease-- they'll respond to enemy attacks and protect any areas to which they've been deployed. Give the orders, and your soldiers will follow behind you wherever you lead or attack the targets you select.[/quote]

Rumors were true. Kuju is the team respsonsible for this game's development. I hope it turns out. Looks like it could be a lot of fun.

Semjaza Azazel, you just made my day... and I was already excited for my class trip to florida, in which I'm leaving tomorrow night. I tried looking for info about it, right after I saw the screens, but I couldn't google anything up. Kudos for making me realize yet another reason as to why I should buy a GameCube...

Here's some video of the game in action...

Honestly, between this and Zelda, I'm surprised that somebody hasn't suffered a stroke yet.

The moment I opened this topic, and saw the first pic, it reminded me of an old CG project I was doing of exactly the same thing. While it reminded me of Worms 3D at first, seeing the video changed that.

Now, I have only one worry: That the AI is smart. From what I saw in the trailer, it seems like you can switch between certain units, and that the others will have to survive through the AI.

What would the rating be for this game? Pikmin managed to nail an E (how it did I will never understand), but this one actually has a little blood (look when the character is being shot by many Mech troops)...

[color=#707875]This is what I've always wanted. I have to say, it's one of the more surprising announcements. A real-time 3D Advance Wars? It's almost as though Nintendo's been reading the thoughts of all of those Advance Wars fanboys the world over. ~_^

I still have to download the video, though. I will probably comment more after that. ^_^[/color]

I haven't logged too much time with either of the Advance Wars games, but this is looking pretty nice right now. I'd always heard that Advance Wars was one of those games that's "easy to learn, hard to master" much like many of the games that Nintendo has developed over the years. The graphics managed to impress me quite a bit, too. Should be fun.

i just got this game and its awesome, but i have to warn you, its as hard as hell, this is the hardest game i own, the odds are always against you, for example you have to destroy 8 heavy tanks (which are more powerful than tanks, WAY more powerful) with only 4 regular tanks and around 10 infantry (which are complitely useless against a heavy tank), well you get the idea, but the game is fun once you get the hang of it, its all about strategy.
