    They should have ported Advance Wars. You could even make the game session asynchronous like Words With Friends so you could play casually over an extended period of time

      I'm actually literally making what can best be described as an AW2 clone with Words With Friends style multiplayer and co-op. Progress is slow because I have a day job :deeper-sadness: .

        That sounds awesome! I tried some of the clones several years ago but none of them scratched that Advance Wars itch exactly, and lacked the charm of the originals. There was a recent instance of a guy's pet project game of several years going off in ZERO Sievert, so never say never, and I wish you the best of luck!

        I haven't tried a DS emulator, but the GBA one worked well with the older AW titles, if I am remembering correctly. I'm more surprised that the IP holder didn't bother at all. It seems like it would be a slam dunk; I feel like they would make bank on it and that it would be pretty popular. I know I'd pay for it

      I think this is exactly what you're talking about? My friend plays and likes it, I haven't yet.
