Loved me some Advanced Wars. Excellent game. One of the best portable tactical games since fire emblem.

@Dennis5891@mstdn.games so glad they brought the first two back on Switch.
It makes me hope that we might see a new entry one day.

@Dennis5891 @OutofPrintArchive A lot of people did because they delayed it for well over a year because of real world Russia starting a war and gave it no fanfare when it finally did release

I was looking up a nice video from it to post, but then I got distracted by this garbage...

Opinions are just that, but when he called the developers "amateur game developers" I went "yeah, fuck this".

After blocking the channel, I scrolled down and noticed the Trump one.

Yeah, pure garbage. :cat_ick:

You know what I think a lot of these problems are? If they are honestly being truthful, then they are judging the game based on what they can and do play now.
There is a type of cognitive bias, I forget the specific word, where you are harsher on things that are older than newer.
In its time, a lot of older games are revolutionary. We can't judge them now under modern criticisms.
