Oh. Well, yeah. But the game does seem to have more units too (although the APC appears to not exist? I haven't played Advance Wars yet, getting it soon).

Do railways appear in the Advance games?

There might be a translation but unlike the Fire Emblem games that have dialogue, plot and a whole heap o' crap going on, when you know how to play the Wars series that's pretty much all you need to know, once you've worked out the menus.

There is a strange vehicle that costs exactly 5000. It's an APC. Althought it dosen't look like one.

And I do understand why they merged the supply truck (I name it after the ones in CnC since it looks so similar...) and the APC funcutlity. PRobalby they wanted to make it more useful.

Intrestingly, when you go onboard an APC there is a small cutscene. The same when you give fuel and ammunation to an vehicle.

Railways dosen't appear in Advance wars at all from what I know, I don't know about Advance wars 2 thought. But I doubt it's there too...

A translation wouldn't that that much time if that was true, after all if there isn't that much text to translate...

That vehicle is called a Transport, although the Japanese name of the APC in Advance Wars might be Transport that was then shortened to APC. As for the truck, it is called Supply Truck.

I think there might be another type of plane called the Assault Fighter, an Anti-Air version of Artillery, and the deadly 'Rail Turtle'.

Yeah, but then APC makes more sense in the Advance wars series. Considering it does look like an real-life APC.

APC stands for Armored personal carrier after all, and the one in Advance wars looks armored.

Althought the Super Famicom transport dosen't look much like a real life APC to me, more like a pickup truck of some kind.

I'm not surprised that they removed a quite few vehicles, more units dosen't mean a better game. Althought I wonder if a few of thoose will make a return on DS in a better form.

Indeed, I think the merger of Transport and Supply Truck to APC is a major improvement, because alot of the time I won't waste money on those units in Super Famicom Wars when I could save up for a Heavy Tank or something (those things rock, by the way).

Most of the other lost units appear to be stronger but slower (Heavy Tank) or weaker but faster (Anti-Air Artillery) versions of units that are already there. However, Giga Tanks and Rail Turtles are very unique units.

EDIT: And apparently the Assault Fighter can attack ground units which the Fighter cannot do, so it's not just a strong Fighter. It's like a Fighter/Bomber in one.

There's only a partially complete translation for Famicom Wars and two pretty-much complete Gameboy Wars ones.

Yeah, it's on Zophar. Althought Famicom wars is listed as Action...

...isn't it strategy? xD

There is no Super Famicom translation, but if you have played Advance wars it's really not that hard to play the older japanse ones.

I explore more tomorrow, as I will have more time by then... damn work. -.-

I used to go to Zophar and rpgd. After the reorganization at Zophar and rpgd's lack of updating, I relied on whirlpool. It's the best and the only place you should go to for translations...

as for
Famicom Wars, 1 dead translation
Super Famicom Wars, uh...no information

No information = no translations known. Trust me, very few things slip through The Whirlpool's cracks. Maybe a few days late in updating sometimes but that's about it.

Yeh. Zophar's is great for utilities and such but when it comes to their supply of patches...

Well, if you want to have a laugh at bad hacks you could goto the ROM hack section...

*sigh*

ZTnet in average needs a facelift.

Intrestingly, if you search for ROM hack I-Mockery is the first thing that come up. Second is Acmlm's rom hacking domain.

This is the most wellknown rom hacking board after all. Somehow.

NEW FIRE EMBLEM FOR THE ADVANCE. NEW FIRE EMBLEM FOR THE ADVANCE. WITH MONSTERS. AND ALL KINDS OF AWESOME STUFF.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/be8j/index.html

If it's not released over here I will sue.

It's been announced for the US!! According to GameFAQs. That means I can get it on import if it never makes it to Europe. Which it better do, anyway.

Dude, it's been out in Japan since last year. Jeez. Nobody TOLD me or anything. Gits.

Also, why do I get 'Forbidden' when I try and look at Whirlpool?

Whirlpool works for me, no problems there.

And tell me about getting to know about games late, I was very surprised to see Advance wars coming for Gamecube when it had been announced since quite long time ago. And the same with Civ 4...

Nintendo usually don't skip European releases nowdays thought, at least not with GBA games. But then it could always happen...

For some reason Whirlpool is totally unavailable to me. I keep getting Forbidden for some reason.

They better not skip this game, it looks awesome. Check out the video!! Whoooo, monsters!! The GC game seems to have monsters too. Also, there appears to be multiple ways to class change. Hoo yeah.

The Wars series is wonderful fun, but it just doesn't have quite the same style as it's bigger brother, Fire Emblem. And certainly not as many hot characters.

EDIT: Look, it's Anya in furry form!!

Since th page (2nd time going there) didn't want to load and the first time, it was loading very slow, I saved it and hosted myself. Here it is.

I swear, this makes me think...nevermind, I'm not going to go there right now.

For some reason, when uploading that file to Geocities, the file appears to suffer a strange graphical glitch for the lower part of the picture. On IE it does anyway. I have no idea why this is but it's not a problem on the original site... Oh wellies.

What does everyone think of the plan of a Fire Emblem series of avatars for the board? Here's two examples of sexy tiara boy Marth...





But if I'm gonna do it, I need to know which one of those looks best, and if anyone can suggest any improvements. I think the second one looks best, personally.

Add that comic to the list of comics i'm lagging behind on. Well, it's actually slightly reminding me of Anya, maybe just not that... inviting.

I would check all out if I didn't need to do some stuff.

That glitch is just a corrupted image, it happens due to the upload failing.

I can't see well on this crappy screen (using a old computer) but I do like the second one better somewhat.
