By Joonas Laakso However, Intelligent Systems has realized it’s gone overboard with unnecessarily fiddly elements in Dual Strike and instead of pouring more topping on the cake, it’s decided to trim it down to the delicious core.

By Luke Plunkett Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin? Maybe not. Just got a presser from Nintendo, and on its release schedule it's got the title of the upcoming Advance Wars DS title listed instead as Advance Wars: Dark Conflict. Not that there was anything wrong with Days of Ruin, but Dark Conflict is a little snappi...

By Luke Plunkett The visual design, I'm definitely coming around to. The little tanks are still cute, they're just not as reliant on primary colours. I can live with that. But that music? Ill-advised! We're hoping it's just for the trailer, and is the work of some over-zealous marketing type at NoA, and not th...

By Michael McWhertor More gameplay changes for the Wii Fire Emblem include a new terrain mode, one that will add a new layer of strategy.

By Michael McWhertor Advance Wars: Days of Ruin also takes the series back a step, gameplay-wise. The Dual Strike CO powers from the previous Nintendo DS Advance Wars are gone, and CO powers in general are said to have been toned down. The tides of war won't turn so easily this time.

By Luke Plunkett Taken from the recent MicroMania Games Show in Paris, here's some actual gameplay footage from the upcoming Advance Wars 2 for the DS. Still a little undecided on the new art style; it looks nice, yeah, but also a little drab compared to its yummier predecessors.

By Ross Miller A fog of war is set for all maps. All in all, there are 15 campaign missions and six maps for the four-player multiplayer modes.

By Luke Plunkett Nintendo Europe have posted up their release schedule for the rest of 2007. Smash Bros? Not going to make it, it's listed as "2008".
