{{nihongo|'''Famicom Wars'''|ファミコンウォーズ|''Famicom Wars''}} is a series of turn-based and real-time military strategy games, developed by [[Intelligent Systems]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. The series debuted in Japan on [[August 12]] [[1988]], two years prior to another Intelligent Systems series, [[Fire Emblem]] (released on April 20, 1990), and this interval is true for both Japan and the U.S. (2001 and 2003, respectively). Like [[Fire Emblem]], most games in the series were released only in Japan; [[Advance Wars]] (2001) was the first to reach the North American and European markets. Advance Wars was released in the USA on [[September 9]] [[2001]], but put on hold in Japan and Europe due to the subsequent terrorist attacks on [[September 11]], 2001. Although released in Europe in January 2002, neither GBA game was released in Japan until the [[Game Boy Wars Advance 1+2]] compilation on [[November 25]], [[2004]]. | {{nihongo|'''Famicom Wars'''|ファミコンウォーズ|''Famicom Wars''}} is a series of turn-based and real-time military strategy games, developed by [[Intelligent Systems]] and published by [[Nintendo]].

Multi-player mode is an important part of the Famicom Wars series. This allows players to compete against friends, each choosing a Commanding Officer to play and country to represent. The [[Advance Wars]] series, as well as [[Game Boy Wars 3]], include map editors, giving them infinite replayability. | Multi-player mode is an important part of the Famicom Wars series.
