    Do not worry not_luigi

    Anyone who plays Advance Wars like a true fan - will be switching the animations off ASAP.

    Can not wait - still playing the DS version's maps trying to get all the medals.

    And yes, animations will be being turned off instantly.

    Still... not too sure about the new angle... We'll see.

    Look on the Lander picture. It's got a big red triangle, with bomber in it.
    However it's also got a little yellow triangle with what looks like an A-10 Plane in it. New unit?

    The A10 is also in the Cruiser picture, on the map. Could be a new unit, though I'm not exactly sure what it would do.

    Hey, I like the animations; yeah, they're time consuming when you're in an addicted, frenzied rush to CRUSH YOUR FOE, but they're part of what gives the game personality. Myself, I found AW: DS's skippable to be the perfect halfway house; I skip them most of the time, but let them play out for particularly significant/satisfying attacks. Yeah, I'm theatrical like that. :)

    As for Dark Conflict, as awesome as the game will undoubtedly be, I have to confess: I despise this new moody brown "serious" approach they've taken all of a sudden. The bright colours, cutesy sprites, cartoonish animation, fun and memorable character designs and catchy, infectious music was all part of what made this series stand out from the pack. Why trade in all that goodwill for some lame "mature" angle that looks drab and forced? As I say, I have no doubt that the core gameplay will be as solid as ever, so it's still a must-buy, but I can't see any reason why Nell, Andy and co. had to be sacrificed for this run-of-the-mill post-apocalyptic po-facedness. :(

    marinela - "The A10 is also in the Cruiser picture, on the map. Could be a new unit, though I'm not exactly sure what it would do. "

    Tank busting aircraft? - that's what the A10 is in real life.

    I hate post-apocalyptic games with a passion. I love Advance Wars with a passion.

    What a horrible dilemma I find myself in!
