Man they should make one of these with nothing but sidescrolling, there's no way they could screw that up
Advance Wars

Great start to one of the best series I got into this year, wish I knew about mech spam first time I played it
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
Fantastic sequel in about every respect and peak of the series
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
A good, different direction for the series to end on, but it's poorly balanced in the exact opposite way every other AW game is. Very odd.
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Advance Wars: Dual Strike
Abominable, downright rancid balancing, thoroughly miserable, weakest of the Advance games, but still had some cool moments

Have you ever been 'aw shit I wanna buy a new game on the eShop but I don't wanna spend too much' so you settle for an 80% off 1.99 indie platformer with no sauce and no ideas and no future? Then you've played AVGN 1&2, unfortunately.

Best new game I played this year maybe. I want to be hopeful and excited for the future of expansive AAA experiences at a time where 99% of studios are bleeding out at the hands of their corporate ringleaders.

Every DDR game has a song about hard fucking but I didn't expect this game to have a song that's literally 'stop cumming early' and its album art is a dude in tightly-whities clutching a gun near his dick
