Advance Wars DS

I'm really surprised, but in searching I didn't turn up anything for this game. I know it's been out for a while, and I just got into Advance Wars 2 for the GBA, which I've owned for a LONG, LONG time but finally plugged in. AW2 is awesome, and I'm very curious about what changes were made for the DS version.

I still haven't picked up a DS, but it seems like just a matter of time before I do, and this game is definitely pushing me toward it quicker. Worthwhile?

DS shits all over Advance Wars 2. 2 seemed like an expansion pack for the first game, whereas DS seems like a true sequel.

The dual front thing was really underutilized, but that's really my only complaint. The information on the top screen is a time saver, the missions are well laid-out and have a good mix of opponents and allies(especially since you get to pick your team for just about every mission). Also great-the tag team dynamic introduced in this game. Really makes using your CO powers more strategic.

I give it high recommendations. And the sheer number of war room maps and COs gives the game a replayability that is hard to match.
