By April we will have forgotten all about the war. The timing is uncanny.

 

[LordCBH]

Bout time they release it considering it’s been finished for over a fucking year.

 

[Aurelius]

Hopefully they didn’t change Blue Moon.

 

[Portugeezer]

The Ukraine war will finally be over.

Good job Nintendo.

April? Was looking forward to a shadow drop to get people excited. £50 is also quite a lot for my tastes.

why this wasn’t just shadow dropped I don’t know

 

[SCB3]

Erm why not just released? And not even a month away?

 

[Chittagong]

They are probably old but a lot of screens I haven’t seen before

Very hyped for this.

 

[Petopia]

They care more about the weabs than advanced wars fans.

Because its not a good idea to do that with too many titles. They already did that with Metroid.

1. No we aren't. Stop that nonsense.
2. Jokes lose their edge when people like you take them seriously.

The other thread was also named Game Boy Advanced. I wonder where the "d" is coming from.

End of the war confirmed? Or why the sudden change in Nintendos attitude of not releasing a war game while war is played with real guns?

I used to call it the 'Game Boy Advanced' and 'Advanced Wars'. The reason is there are already nouns in both and the 'advance' is clearly being descriptive so people naturally use the adjective which is 'advanced'. 'Advance' is grammatically correct but in GBA it means the thing is an 'Advance' not a Game Boy; and in AW, it means 'to further wars' rather than the 'wars with advanced technology' that I think they were going for.

As for why it's being released? Probably because it's finished and needs to start making money at some point. Plus, it doesn't seem like the backlash they expected is going to happen. If anything, some people might even enjoy it more.

Nintendo is all over the place with pricing. Isn't metroid $40 and this is $50? And then the new Zelda is $70 but botw is still $60 and it's the oldest game.

Huh
