Advance Wars

There was a huge tonal shift in the series, so yes, by comparison, "edgy." Not necessarily a bad thing, of course.

AW2 is my favourite, since it's the first I had and probably the one I dumped the most time into (although Dual Strike may have beaten it out)
Grit due to laid-back personality and OP ranged units, Colin for the Shekels and extremely satisfying CO powers. (I also like Sensei for harassing with copters)

great taste, OP
Lin from Days of Ruin is also breddy gud

Days of Ruin was a good game, and I enjoyed it a lot.
new AW never ever

I never saw the point of days of ruins.

The magic of advance wars was the fact that they never really addressed how fucking bloody war is or the toll it takes on people. Everyone was just having a good time. I loved that.

Then again I played the cheap as fuck sensei who would just rain down dudes to be meat shields.

Reboot a series that had to use "testing your power" excuse to have other nations besides the Black Hole fight you. Also, it was the first game that actually fixed the cancelling unit moving exploit.

Well I didn't. DoR felt like the only game where they were actually trying with the story.

The French actually gave DoR/DC a animated tv ad.

Only ever played Dual strike but I loved it and it quickly became one of my favourite turn based games. Much better than Fire Emblem that I tried later, I hear awakening was much worse than previous entries but it still seemed a lot worse than AW.

I fucking love Advance Wars.

My favorite is this classy slacker here. This motherfucker is rad.

Advance Wars is the only game I can think of with tons of art localization changes that I actually prefer over the originals.

They have FE engine and they already made 2 FE games on the 3DS. If they wanted to release a new AW game, they would have.
