Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is fucking hard. To the point of being ridiculous. I've beaten all the other Advance Wars games, and I can't even get past mission 16 on DoR.
Do you mean this one [http://www.advancewarsnet.com/files/awdor/Mission%20Maps/C16a%20Hope%20Rising.png]? I don't remember that one being too hard, but I might be thinking of the wrong mission. Or I might have been lucky, with the fog of war and all.
Meteos is good, Pokemon is good of course, Professor Layton and the Curious Village is great, Picross is good, Tetris is a good update apparently. I hear Disgaea is a good TBS, in the style of Final Fantasy Tactics A2 more than Advance Wars or Fire Emblem.
I didn't like Phantom Hourglass much.
Don't overlook the GBA! There are a lot of great games for that, usually cheap, if you can find them. I recently got Rebelstar: Tactical Command, which is an obscure little game that combines the gameplay of X-Com with the character and tone of the early Advance Wars games. (It was made by the main creators of X-Com.)
