Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!

Deep breaths, I'm fine. Woo. Shake it off.

So, it doesn't use the touch screen at all? Whaaat? I thought that would be used to highlight the characters, working like a mouse used for PC RTS titles.

Ah well, so far, I'm very, very excited. Give me the update if you get to play multiplayer :)

So then, updates.

Firstly... YES! It doesn't *actually* use the touch screen... at all. That was my primary concern with AWDS, but thankfully IS decided against it. :)

It's definitely more of the same, which as you said Game, is not a bad thing. At all. The obvious improvements include battle animation and sounds, and it looks niiice. :) The top screen is used for info (when R is pressed) which leaves the map on the bottom screen untouched, unlike in the previous games which were restricted to the one screen.

So far so good. In fact, it kicks ass. :D

Nice one...

I always loved the GBA versions. Hopefully they'll utilise the Stylus well. I can't imagine it'll be hugely different from AW or AW2, but still, more of the same isn't a bad thing.

Incidentally, Battalion Wars looks good. Not overly hard, or anything, but the screenshots coming though show a lot of polish, and it should be a pretty decent game when it comes out. It's the sort of thing that'd be great online. If it sells well, and I sincerely hope it does, then a Nintendo Online-Enabled sequel for the Revolution will be something special... Even if it was just 4-Player online in a kind of Deathmatch.
