This game was not released outside of Japan and, until translation was made in [[2006]], was consequently little-known outside Japan, where it has a large fan base.  The series would later become popular among English-speaking gamers with the release of [[Advance Wars]].
 
The game's turn-based gameplay is somewhat similar to that of the [[:Category:Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem]] series, which was also developed by Intelligent Systems. Further sequels were released for the [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], [[Super Famicom]], [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]] systems. The maps in this game and [[Super Famicom Wars]] were later included in Advance Wars, [[Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising]], [[Advance Wars: Dual Strike]], and [[Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]].
