Yeah... it's maybe not as good as Fire Emblem... but anybody around here play Famicom/Advance/whatever orther War games by Intelligent Systems? I'm kinda hooked on these games right now...
So... what are your thoughts?

I noticed that in Famicom Wars, if you order JUST infantry each round on the first island... you can actually win somewhat easily.  Isn't that crazy!? |

If you have levels on and make one of those missile launcher things you can just put it at the city that is below the city that is below those 4 or 5 citys and after it levels up to it's maximum it will be taking out about 1 unit a turn and taking no damage. If you do that winning is almost too easy.

Advance Wars is fun. I tried playing Famicom wars once but I couldn't get into it.

I love Kanbei on Advance Wars =D
It's great how he always refers to himself in the 3rd person and how he always goes: "It is decided..." when Sonja's in the middle of her explanation =D
I like the Map Creator in Advance Wars too! I made the first level of Fire Emblem with it!

The series as a whole is called Nintendo Wars. The installments of Nintendo Wars series is as follows: Famicom Wars, Gameboy Wars, Super Famicom Wars, Advance Wars, and Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising. Advance Wars 2 is the first Nintendo Wars game to sport a subtitle. I never played a Nintendo Wars game before. Nintendo Wars is not as great as Fire Emblem. Will there be a GameCube Wars?

I don't recall hearing any news of GCN Wars...
And as for FE being superior to NW... that's a matter of opinion. I know I said at first that "Maybe it's not as good as FE," but I've changed my opinion a little bit since then. There are good and bad points in both. NW may not have as much plot, character development, etc., but I think the raw strategy gameplay makes up for that.
Plus, Advance Wars has a map creator! =D Do you know what people would do (including me) for a map creator in FE!?
And yeah... I knew about all the games in the series... I guess it's good that I didn't miss any in my personal records ^_^;; I've played all of them thus far except GB Wars and Advance Wars 2. Personally, I think SFCW has the best units, but Advance Wars has the best everything-else...

Grit rocks. He's my favorite AW and AW2 CO.
I have to say I like Fire Emblem more, though, because I don't like using map creators much and I feel story is a very important part of gameplay. Plus I like RPGs.

Well... this is just opinion, but I believe gameplay and story are separate. I mean... just look at the old NES games. I see your point though... don't get me wrong.
I think the map creator is great on AW =D I also made the first island on Famicom Wars... only to find it was in the game already -_- I just wish it was better... or perhaps maybe I wish it was just bigger... then I could make some other FE and NW maps...
My favorite CO would have to be Kanbei or Max. Max only because I use Med. Tanks a lot... most of the time they're the only things I order (well, besides Infantry to take over buildings)...

Drake and Sonja are the best COs in AW2. Come on, they have great strategies and have a solid offense and defense.
The map creator is fun but I wish that you could place stuff like the huge factories for each side or even laser cannons. Maybe even add volcanoes. I also want to be able to change the size.
Now if Fire Emblem could only do that...

"The Eagle soars above you!"
Yes, Eagle is the best. I played AW and AW2 before I ever heard of fire emblem, and I was completely shocked at the fact that you can't just sacrifice a unit in Fire emblem, like you can in Advanced Wars. Green Earth FOREVER!
