'''Famicom Wars''', the very first ''[[Nintendo Wars]]'' game, was released in Japan in August 1988 for the Famicom, the Asian equivalent to the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was developed by [[Intelligent Systems]] and published by [[Nintendo]], and a lot of what is present in ''[[Advance Wars]]'' harkens back to this game. | |||
==Gameplay== | While this game was never released outside of Japan, a translation became available in 2006, which opened up the previously little-known game to Western audiences. The game was eventually re-released for the Virtual Console on May 19, 2009. | ||

With the player controlling either [[Red Star]] or [[Blue Moon]], the two countries fight over the course of fifteen maps. Two additional maps are unlocked after completing the Campaign with either country. | With the player controlling either [[Red Star]] or [[Blue Moon]], the two countries fight over the course of fifteen maps.

The turn-based gameplay that Intelligent Systems developed for ''Famicom Wars'' is very similar to that found in the ''[https://fireemblemwiki.org Fire Emblem]'' series. | |||
The maps found in this game and ''[[Super Famicom Wars]]'' are also found in all the ''{{series|Advance Wars}}'' games, including ''[[Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]''. | The maps found in this game and ''[[Super Famicom Wars]]'' are also found in all the ''{{series|Advance Wars}}'' games, including ''[[Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]''. | ||
