Advance Wars will eventually come. It has to!

Certainly sounds like there is going to be another Advance Wars game.

I've been interested in that franchise for a while but never bought a Advanced War game, was very close back in the GBA era but money was short at the time. I'd love to see a game on 3DS and finaly get my hands on one of these games since I've been hearing great things from it.

I think their next game being a Advanced War game is likely :) So all we can do is wait and see

Much like FE, I would like to see the return of AW to the console space. The gamepad seems ideal for strategy!

Still will most likely be a 3DS game.

Advance Wars 2 was one of the best games on the GBA, it was the perfect sequel to a decent first game. Would really love another game in this series. Keep it on handhelds, Nintendo!

I've always <3 this guy.

And he has the most overpowered perk of the whole bunch IMO.

Advance Wars on home consoles is Battalion Wars. Advance Wars is turn based combat while Battalion Wars is real time strategy. You are right that Battalion Wars would be awesome on the Wii U. Shame the last Battalion Wars on Wii didn't sell so much which might affect them from making another.

No no no. AW on home consoles as in Famicon Wars. Strategy. I own BW2 and it was real time alright but short on strategy. If in BW3 you have higher control of your units via the Gamepad, then it's okey. But just like Fire Emblem has had their home console versions, it would be nice to see the War series return in pure strategy form.

Oh wow...shame on me. I'd basically forgotten about Advance Wars, but I've not had a Nintendo system since I sold my DSL. Fantastic series.

I don't think there's going to be another Advance Wars.

Intelligent Systems is an incredibly talented bunch, able to do something Nintendo is struggling with at the moment: putting out medium to high quality games at a high frequency.

They have roughly the sames manpower as Retro Studios, but are putting out more than four times as many games, without even counting their DSi games.

Their only problem is that their core titles don't sell. The DS Advance Wars averaged less than 500k, and the DS, GC and Wii Fire Emblems sold just as bad. WarioWare saw a dramatic drop in sales toward the end of the DS, largely because the microgame genre is becoming crowded by free smartphone games. It's just not the series it was anymore.

Before the 3DS, Fire Emblem had been in decline since 2003, Advance Wars in decline since it started, and Warioware was starting to die as well. Paper Mario was doing well, but that was their only series doing well.

It's clear Nintendo told them to shift their course. Fire Emblem - Intelligent Systems' golden series - was to be cancelled if Fire Emblem 13 didn't sell well (source: http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=40303&page=1). Warioware became a download only series, and downscaled somewhat. Intelligent Systems started making a lot of DSi games, and then 2 3DS e-shop games (Crashmo and Pushmo, both highly successful).

Intelligent Systems changed course somewhere around 2010. They either had to manage to make their series popular again (which they did with Fire Emblem), or abandon them in favour of making new IPs. This most likely lead to the death of their least popular major series - Advance Wars.

There most likely won't be another Advance Wars.
