I played so much Advance Wars in high school that I would see the map whenever I closed my eyes and saw it in all my dreams. The original GBA is the most comfortable handheld I've played. Fit perfectly in my hands and my pocket.

Wow, haven't thought about that in years... Such a great game. Does anyone have any recommendations for a modern variant for pc/web?

  My wife asked the same question when I was restoring the GBA I found in the closet, so I set up an emulator with the ROM on her phone. Less storage space than most apps and doesn't need ads or tracking.

  There's a not-modern variant for pc/web at https://awbw.amarriner.com/ https://awbw.amarriner.com/ and a modern not-pc/not-web variant for the Nintendo Switch.

  You should probably check out Wargroove on Steam. It's very close to the Advance Wars games in terms in terms of mechanics.

  They remade them for Switch. Some people claim Wargroove is a spiritual successor but I didn’t like it nearly as much

  Lost Frontier on mobile is good. Better than Wargroove imo. It really feels like the original Advance Wars in its simplicity. Just in a Western cowboy setting.

  I’ve had Warside wishlisted on Steam for a year now, as it looks to be just that. And when I looked it up just now to double-check the name, looks like it’s coming out next month! Fingers crossed.

There are little hand-held emulation systems made in China these days that hobbyists enjoy developing for and playing with. Anbernic makes a model with the physical design of the GBA[0] and others make ones similar to the SP. They are neat little toys.

  Thanks for the link. I've heard of Anbernic, but didn't know they had one that's the same design as the GBA
