Well this is a nice surprise.
I got €15 off the retail price for Advance Wars and €10 off Front Mission, so when I noticed that they weren't even shipped on Friday, I just sighed.

Didn't get the notification that both had shipped even, so I expected them in the upcoming weeks.

But I just checked the mailbox and to my surprise, these were shipped together and were quietly delivered.

@OutofPrintArchive I'd really like to play Advance Wars as I loved the original on my Gameboy SP. However, I'll have to wait for a sale or an eBay auction. I'm not paying Nintendo first party prices! 😁

@UKFilmNerd got it for €45. 😊

@OutofPrintArchive both really good games. I remember to play one of the Front Mission games on Psx one. The Advanced wars, I believe I played the first one on Nintendo DS and I had lots of fun.

@greenvahn Ah that would have been Front Mission 3.
Brilliant game and I hope it doesn't take too long to release the remake on Switch.

The first one was on Super Famicom and the second one was never released outside of Japan on PSone.

As for Advance Wars, these are remakes of the two GBA games.
Again, absolutely brilliant games.

For anyone thinking that they aren't into strategy games, these are perfect to get into the genre.

@OutofPrintArchive I've been playing Advance Wars over the weekend and it still holds up really well.
Also got my physical copy of Mega Man Battle Network Collection through too, excited to get that one started.

@simonsays64
That's great to hear!
As someone who rarely finishes games since I jump around between releases way too much, I did actually play through both of these till the end.
Absolutely adore them.
Hoping that we might finally see a brand new one if this does well...

I've got a copy of Mega Man Battle Network Collection ordered from Play-Asia since I went with the Japanese release as Europe doesn't get physical MegaMan releases and I wanted to keep them matched up.

simonsays64,

@OutofPrintArchive My hope for a new Advance Wars was the main reason I bought this. Fingers crossed!
And nice on the Mega Man front. I imported mine from the US for the same reasons though it certainly cost more than I was hoping but oh well.

@simonsays64
It still baffles me how Capcom barely does any physical releases on Europe at all.
The carts are universal already, so it's just the covers that need to be printed for each country individually to accommodate the various languages.

And looking at how much much smaller companies can do this without any trouble makes it all the more baffling.

simonsays64,

@OutofPrintArchive Agreed! It's extremely disappointing. You'd think they'd be able to do even a small run in the EU just for launch, I don't understand it.

@OutofPrintArchive wow they list "game manual" as one of the bonus items in the Front Mission LE

@COMPU73E It's really sad that is has some to this, isn't it?
