It's a testament to the grandeur of E3 when a sequel to one of the DS's most popular games goes unnoticed. I mean, just look at the right sidebar! Nobody's surprised that a little bit of news tucked into a Nintendo European release schedule slips between the cracks.
Fortunately, our very own Gemsi brings us news that Advance Wars Dual Strike 2 will drop later this year. It's slated for a Q4 release in Europe, so that may mean that Japan and the U.S. may see it even sooner. Unfortunately, that's literally all I know: there's no new information to speak of, and not even a measley screenshot.
So, assuming that this faux-announcement holds up, what do you guys want to see from Advance Wars DS 2? Online versus mode? New gameplay features? Are any of you even excited by this news? Is there anything else on that list that gets you riled up? Let us know in the comments!
[Thanks BlindsideDork!]

I can think of a couple of people that will be way too excited bout that.
I think AW is one of those games that you're either addicted to, or dont care for at all. Lets hope it at least gets some decent marketing, and of course online play.
I would like to see efforts go into making the games faster. Unless you play 1vs1 pre deployed one game could easily last several hours. Screw the two million different COs and the ranking system too.
I'm in favor of faster gameplay. I can't tell you how many endless matches have been spent finishing the last HOUR of a match attached to the AC adapter.
As regards that picture, the plane looks goddamn awesome, but Eagle's face screams "do not want!"
Sheer luck got me to victory. I found it used at a Gamestop, shoved into a corner behind all the other used games, in a nondescript blue case that just said AW:DS on it when I went to buy FF3 when it came out.
Also I can't imagine online play, unless it's stripped down or has some method to speed up the gameplay. Local play on the old ones could take hours easily.
More interaction between the fronts at all would be awesome.
