Well, if it's even ½ as good as the glorious Advance Wars it'll be one helluva game!

I'll kill you all if there's Fog of War in this one.

Sweet!

I'm always up for a new strat-game, and "rpg-elements" coud turn out to be promising...

The title just rolls off the tongue.

I had the same reaction, but in reading the interview they explain the name: "Black Moon Chronicles is a series of heroic fantasy comic books created by François Froideval and Olivier Ledroit. It tells the story of Wismerhill and the four major camps : Empire, Justice, Light and Black Moon, who all fight for power. The tenth volume was published a few months ago."

It's not so bad considering BMC is the actual name of the comic book. The "tactics" is a bit awkwardly tacked on. Maybe they can rework the title before it's released...

Trivia : Advance Wars -still- hasn`t been released in Japan, even though the Japanese version was completed before the US version.

Haha, that's funny. What the heck is Nintendo waiting for, anyway?

[dcharlie]

I`m hoping they are working on either Cell phone link up or a NGC->GBA link version.

although i guess its just them being lazy (?)

[sggg]

I am not sure but I think Nintendo cancelled the GBA-Cellphone linking programme....

Anyway, I am shocked. I had no idea they didn't release that game there! I guess for now NA gets Advance Wars and Japan gets Fire Emblem. Hopefully they'll fix that soon in both territories.

as far as i know , the phone link up system is still on.
I`ll try and find out today.
