Good luck buying it today, since it doesn't arrive in stores in tomorrow.

It actually doesn't get released until tommorow. I don't know what's up with everyone's sites saying it's available today. The previous two were the sole reason I had my Gameboy Advance. Thise series of games is possible the most addictive I've ever played. I'm also impatiently waiting for 'Battallion Wars' in mid-September, which is the new Gamecube Release for a full 3d version of the games. A must buy for everyone!

Heh, thanks - it did seem odd that a game would come out on any day other than Tuesday, but since I haven't had a chance to get near a retail outlet, I just gave it benefit of the doubt. But it's been changed, as well as the "please comment here" post-article question.

Pre-ordered this the day it was announced...and I've been re-playing through Advance Wars 1 and 2 in anticipation.

I'm a pretty happy PSP owner, but this game has given me the excuse I was looking for to buy a DS.

i like advance wars as much as anyone, but it's not really a strategy game like FF tactics or fire emblem. it's really much better to think of it as a puzzle game. that's much closer to how it plays anyway.

Guises: it's actually done by the same team as Fire Emblem. There are some similaraties (i.e., each full side gets one 'turn'), but I agree that it's a bit different overall.

Danny: If you imported it, way to pay too much for a game that is on the verge of being available in the US. If you won it in a contest, good for you (that's how I won my DS).

Any site that says that Kirby's Canvas Curse and/or Meteos are not "must-have" games for the DS isn't worth the electrons it's made of.

Why is everybody saying it's not out yet? It's in-stock at the Gamestops in the Los Angeles area. Get out of the sticks fellas.

I just checked two Gamestops and an EB Games on my way home from work today, and they all told me that they didn't expect it in until tomorrow. Until now, I had no idea Chicago qualified as the sticks.

Barring city-wide chaos, I'm definitely going to pick it up tomorrow.

I will be definitely getting the Advance Wars DS game tomorrow. The first two games were outstanding. From what I have read in the reviews so far, it is not that much different from the other two. Which could be a blessing or a sign of repetition.

All these game sites (IGN, et al) list the SHIP dates on their release dates pages. If it's available where you're at that's only because somebody put it out as soon as it came in. They are supposed to wait until release, which is usually Tuesday.

I got lucky when GTA3 came out. Some dumb kid at best buy went to the back, opened the box, and brought me a copy 2 days before its release. Those 48 hours were sweet, free-roaming, mayhem causing, pre-release gaming bliss.

Damn this site is so full of crap! Yesterday you said Madden is getting average reviews with a console ranking of around 88% and today critics love and adore a game with a 91% ranking. What a load of biased bullshit. How about a little something in your reporting called consistency?

Add Nintendo's official site to that list of game sites as they also list Aug. 22 as the "release date". Admittedly the guy at Gamestop didn't have to be quite so much of an asshole when he said that it was merely a "ship date". Personally I'm willing to bet that most of the game stores are just too lazy to deal with Monday releases so they don't both getting the stock in until late on Monday and then stocking it along with other stuff released on Tuesday.
