Nintendo Strategy RPG Game Trailers

We have three new trailers for you today. All of them feature game-play and cut-scenes from Nintendo's premiere strategy role-playing game franchises: Advance Wars and Fire Emblem which are about to be released. What is ironic about this post is, these games absolutely must be played to be full appreciated. Screen-shots and trailers do not even come close to doing them justice. I thought Fire Emblem looked very lame when I saw screen shots of it years ago. I played it anyway and now it's one of my favorite games. The original Advance Wars is just like it but pseudo-modern warfare instead of fantasy.

Nevertheless, here they are. Enjoy!



I absolutely love the new gritty look of Advance Wars. And now, I found out it's post-apocalyptic. Awesome! Assuming this game has a higher difficulty than games of past, this will be one very intense gaming experience. The artwork and animations are much more mature and stylish this time around. The future looks good for Advance Wars.



I've been waiting for this game to come out for ages. It's been out a year in Japan and I wonder what's taking Nintendo so long to localize it. Well, I actually know the answer to my own question. Translation of course! Want to read a book, but don't feel like it? Play Fire Emblem! Plenty of text to read all around. I do agree that reading in Fire Emblem games can get tedious sometimes, but it's worth it since the story is always so good. The trailer doesn't show anything new, just a few more bits of some awesome cutscenes.



Okay, okay. I know this isn't really an RPG...or at least a strategy RPG. Battalion Wars is a slight shoot-off game from Advance Wars, originally for the Gamecube, but the sequel is being made for the Wii as you can very well see. I did not play the first one. I was saying how I loved the new look and feel of Advance Wars. The complete opposite is true for Battalion Wars. It looks like a fun game. It probably is a fun game. Battalion Wars II looks a lot better than the first game, and with the inclusion of online play, I'll definitely make more of effort to play this game when it comes out.
