Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wiiware demos and Swords and Soldiers

I'm just wondering if its worth taking my Wii online again. Got a new one after SSBM killed my old lens. I used to really enjoy the MK WII Leagues.

Anyway, are the Wii ware demos still available

Also, is Swords and Soldiers any good? My favourite game series is anything Advance Wars. I do enjoy other tactical games like Fire Emblem and the old Shining Force games. Help.

Swords and Soldiers is a unique take on the genre, but its pretty fun, not as complicated as Advance Wars and Fire Emblem, but you might like it



Really, you don't by any chance know when a new Advance Wars is coming out though, lol. Alright I might give it a go. Wish there was a demo though. Its why I've bought very few Wiiware and VC games.

Swords and Soldiers is quite fun, and has a lot of humor too... some stages may be quite a challenge, and i think i've played it for 20 to 30 hours... not bad for a 10 euros game...

But you have to know that this is a real-time strategy game, and quite a fast and hectic one, too... its gameplay isn't related AT ALL to games like Fire Emblem, FF Tactics or Disgaea: it's more like an arm-wrestling contest in a cartoony scrolling 2d world...

But if you like what you see in some trailers, just go for it, it's one of the best Wiiware game available, and it's easily worth the money...

The five demos are still up. I recommend the NyxQuest and Bit.Trip.Beat ones in particular. Darklord is good too. Didn't try Rumble, though.

Swords and Soldiers IS fun, but it's also a very streamlined RTS; once built, units go forward at a constant pace, and you no longer have any control over their actions. The strategy comes in the form of what you build, when you build it, and when/where you use your magic attacks.

No word on another Advance Wars, but you should pick up its spiritual sequel, Batallion Wars II, if you haven't already. I think you'd like it.



battalion wars 2 is awesome, my most played online game.

we've got 2 advance wars this en so i dont expect another. Im hoping that intellegent systems has some new IP this year or another fire emblem. They released 3 wii game sin quick succession so they should have a retail release this yera not jst download

Swords and Soldiers is great. Simple on the surface but deep in how you beat the levels.

Love that game.
