I've only played AW 2 and DOR. DOR is the only game in the series that I like.
Continue writing our story of peace.
Yeah, I know its on the Wii U shop.
But I've got other games to play now. And it's so much of a hassle playing DS games on the Wii U. Especially ones that take a decent amount of time like Advance Wars.
I'd definitely play it if I could get it on the 3DS for portability, but as it is I've got other stuff like BOTW to get though.

I'll be honest here: I really like Sturm and hope that if Advance Wars: Dual Strike is ever remade he is playable and unlocking him requires getting an S rank in either the Normal or Hard Campaign.
Sturm's Day to day ability would give him 120% defence against direct units, a movement cost of 1 across all terrain except when it snows, and a 20% attack boost to all of his units during sandstorms. CO power would be Sand Strike, which causes a sandstorm for two days, deals 1 HP of damage to all enemy units, and gives him 140% direct defence. His Super CO Power would be Sand Rage, which causes a sandstorm for two days, deals 2 HP of damage to all enemy units, and raises his direct defence to 160%.
No meteor strike. Von Bolt has a nasty substitule in Ex Machina, which deals 3 HP in damage to a group of units and forces them to skip their next turn. This also creates a weather trio as Olaf has snow with his CO powers, Drake brings rain with his Super CO Power Typhoon, and Sturm's new CO Power and Super CO Power cause sandstorms. I think Sturm would have a 60% tag rating with Hawke because of what happened at the end of Advance Wars 2 and another 60% tag rating with Von Bolt because of how the old man is using Black Hole.

That said, Hard Campaign is Hard Campaign. Sure, it's a breeze compared to the last two games, but there is still a strong likelihood of That One Level. Including the first in the campaign.
ASAB: All Sponsors Are Bad.I saw a video on why Kanbei's Error was so difficult on Hard. Also mentioned Rivals!, given that it's a Brutal Bonus Level. The last mission's a Classic Video Game Screw You in every possible way (since spawning Kanbei requires a perfect run through his missions as well as going through Sonja's excruciating missions and Eagle triggers Rivals!. Both of these characters are ideal for dealing with the last proper mission; if you can't go through Kanbei's Error and don't want to be going through Rivals!, you're stuck with Sami by default, who is a terrible character for the level. The only other option would be to hire Drake).

I'm guessing you guys missed my post, but there was actually a Kickstarter trying to make a spiritual successor to Advance Wars called Tiny Metal - I posted up the thread myself.
It sadly didn't make the funding quota however, and the team responsible is now trying to figure out an alternative means of supporting and developing the game.
