Advance Wars 2 could have been the perfect mobile game

[ShinUltramanJ]

Back when Nintendo fans were claiming mobile Nintendo games weren't possible, Advance Wars was one of the titles I said would be perfect on mobile.

And it still would be as a stand alone game. I wouldn't want to see the super monetized Advance Wars, Nintendo would pump out these days.

Still waiting for Konami to realize how much money they missed out on by not making a Metal Gear Acid mobile game

Yes. I can't even imagine how awesome it would be. Great series

Unfortunately, like others have said, Nintendo isn't really interested in making their usual quality fare for the platform.

because they wouldn't sell. mobile gamers (largely) don't pay for games. it's a cesspit. plus the restrictions of the format like having no buttons.

Lol they did

There were some java based demakes that were released and they were actually really fun to play

Plenty of big, free, quality, money-making mobile games out there. None of them are made by Nintendo.

How do you get going with Wargroove on the phone? Are you talking about actually playing it mobile or just the notifications?

I've really been hunting for a good game of this ilk to play on my phone. Wargroove would be perfect if it's doable.

If you're on iOS then try Warbits

If Android then look into Lost Frontier.

If I was a fan of Wargroove, should I give Advance Wars 2 (or the first) a playthrough?

Advance Wars: Dual Strike by way of the Drastic emulator for Android IS the perfect mobile game. Higher resolution rendering cleans up the appearance of non-spritebased visual elements, and the entire game can be played using the game's original touch controls (no emulated buttons required) from start to finish.

We already have the perfect AW game on mobile anyway. It's called Warbits. It's a speedier AW and has a lovely style, plus gameplay (with a few ideas of its own). Love it to bits. It even has online play!



There even seems to be an enhanced version on the way as well, so maybe it'll get a bigger spread then? It's a shame nobody talks about it as it's (at least in my opinion) far more appealing than WarGroove.

Edit. The account got removed for some reason, turned out I didn't link to the official one! Updated to the correct video.

Is this not on Android?

Sadly not. I suspect the new version might be (or consoles, at least) whenever it releases.
