Collector interest

Game Boy Wars 3, the third entry in Hudson Soft's military strategy series on Game Boy Color, exclusive to Japan. A portable cousin of Nintendo's Wars saga, it offers turn-based tactical battles reputed demanding and deep. Its desirability lies in the acknowledged quality of this niche strategy, the absence of a Western edition and collectors' interest in the machine's uncommon Japanese war games.

An underrated gem

Handed to Hudson, this third entry pushes portable military strategy toward greater depth, with resource management and varied terrain. A Japan-only release that arrived just before Advance Wars stole the show, it fell into oblivion. For devotees of turn-based wargames, it's an austere but rich cartridge worth unearthing.
