Awesome / Nintendo Wars

• In Re-Boot Camp, Grit's Variable Mix of his theme when using his CO Powers turns the main melody from laid-back acoustic guitar to electric guitar, which perfectly demonstrates how despite his laid-back exterior, this guy will kick your ass when he gets serious.
• "Rivals!" in Re-Boot Camp now uses sunset lighting effects, making the map for the Brutal Bonus Level feel far more unique and climactic.
• Black Hole Rising packs a number in:
  • Tanks!!!: Grit explaining to Adder that yes, he isn't particularly loyal to Blue Moon and yes, he doesn't care much about what land belongs to which country. But the destruction of cities and killing of civilians is unforgivable.
  • Duty and Honour: Black Hole has set up laser cannons around several strategically unimportant Yellow Comet cities which are under siege. Kanbei knows it's a trap, but goes in anyway because it is his duty to protect the people of Yellow Comet.
  COs don't sit idly by and watch their people be destroyed! Even if it's a trap. Even if it's strategically unimportant.
  • Lash also gets a pretty epic "Not So Different" Remark towards Sonja in "A Mirror Darkly" after her defeat, when she accuses Sonja of also treating war like a game and being every bit the war-loving psychopath she is. In any other game this sort of accusation would be totally meaningless, but since this is Advance Wars, she's totally right, and Lash is in fact the only character who isn't in denial about it.
• Hawke or Jake shooting Von Bolt's chair in Dual Strike, forcing him to live out the rest of his life under his own power... which probably won't be very long. Jake's line after doing so is pretty good:
  You don't get to die while the rest of us clean up your mess!
• Earlier in Dual Strike, Sami, Grit, Eagle, and Sonja show up just in time to help the Allied Nations when Black Hole suddenly regains its momentum and Kindle has everyone cornered.
• Days of Ruin has several as well:
  • Waylon claims that Will only helps people because it makes him feel important, and that at least he is honest about doing what he does for personal gain. Will responds that he might be right, in that he does it because he wants to, just like Waylon likes to "fly around and act like a jerk" because he wants to, but if he saves even one life, it is worth it. This prompts Waylon to call him a "little sack of crap." This marks a clear moment in Will's Character Development, and of course, he got The Dragon to call him a little sack of crap.
  • Lin receives one of her own after defeating Admiral Greyfield in battle, while confronting him. He surrenders out of desperation, and claims that as he is now a prisoner of war, if she kills him out of revenge, she will be the same as him (as their original rebellion was caused by this same crime). Her response?
    Lin: I guess you're right. *Gunshot SFX*
  • Caulder of all people gets one, when he gives a 'vaccine' to the Mayor after he sells out all of his people to Caulder. The awesome part? It turns out it was actually a dose of poison, and the Mayor dies a painful, ironic, and well-deserved death.
  • Brenner/O'Brian gets one when he takes all the Lazurian/Zephyrian remnants and escapes with them from Greyfield's/Sigismundo's clutches, having realized who they were really working for. Just when they're about to escape, The Good Captain delivers a glorious Shut Up, Hannibal! towards the Insane Admiral.
    NRA Guard: Hey...HEY! Escape! The prisoners are escaping! And Brenner's Wolves are with them!
    Greyfield: BRENNER! What in the name of Rubinelle do you think you're doing?! I order you to turn around and-
    Brenner: I'm not letting you execute the Lazurians. The 12th Battalion doesn't take orders from you anymore, Greyfield.
    Greyfield: How dare you?! This is high treason, and the punishment shall be death! Death for you and every member of your pathetic battalion!
    Brenner: You're a coward, Greyfield. And you don't frighten me for a single second.
    Greyfield: How dare you!
    Brenner: You're not the ruler of Rubinelle. You're just a strongman who seized power on the backs of others. Rubinelle deserves a way better leader than you. And I'd rather die than serve you for another second!
