What Happened To Advance Wars? - RFG Ep. 24

Join Arnaldo and Paul as they talk about one of their favourite strategy video game series, Advance Wars! We start off with the origins of the series on the Famicom and when the tide shifted towards releasing these kind of games in the West (01:30). The first game in the GBA series is then discussed along with its impact on the genre (12:30) and a dramatic reading of a terrible Metacritic review (42:30). Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising is up next (48:00) followed by Advance Wars DS and the reasons for impending changes to the series. We finish up discussing the shift to Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin and why this ultimately failed to rescue the series (1:34:30). But could Fire Emblem help bring back its twin video game brother? (1:50:45).
