Advance Wars

Pour one out for Nintendo’s Wars series. Specifically, for Advance Wars, the handheld entries that appeared on the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. These are turn-based strategy games like Fire Emblem that are even made by the same developer, Intelligent Systems. The difference is that units are expendable, to a degree, and you have CO powers to possibly shift the balance of power. Not to mention, many entries have map editors to make your own challenges.
