The game laid the groundwork for the series’ turn-based and unit-specific combat, with players controlling the military of either the Red Star or Blue Moon countries and using ground, air, and sea units to battle opposing teams across 17 maps (two being secret endgame maps).įamicom Wars was followed by a jump to handheld with Game Boy Wars in 1991, and a sequel, Super Famicom Wars in 1998, which expanded to include four playable nations. The series dates back to 1988’s Famicom Wars, developed by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo R&D 1 and published by Nintendo. The Advance Wars games are actually the continuation of the turn-based strategy ‘Wars’ franchise which was only ever released in Japan.
