X-Com on Game Boy Advance!
Well, close, but not exactly. The developers that of X-Com (as well as Laser Squad Nemesis) secured a publishing deal with Namco for a 3rd person squad based tactical game for the Game Boy Advance.
The press release mentions a number of multiplayer options offered (hot seat, link play), but I can't help but think this would be suited far better to the DS when internet play is available. Regardless, I'm glad it is getting made.

Japanese and "Western" strategy games are also drastically different in their approaches. Japanese games tend to be easy to play, but lack depth or balance. Western games tend to be overcomplicated, but more enjoyable in the long term. The obvious exception is Fire Emblem and Advance Wars which share the best qualities of both.
