Talk:Wars (series)

and this interval is true for both Japan and the U.S.

Doesn't make much sense for a game that wasn't released in the US!

does anyone think there should be a separate gameplay section for battalion wars? -Jimbob1630 22:03, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

Move to Famicom Wars
"Nintendo Wars", as far as I know, is never offically used as a name for the series and I have never heard it used outside of Wikipedia. However, Nintendo have continued to use the "Famicom Wars" name for all the titles on the Gamecube and DS in Japan - because of this, I think "Famicom Wars" would be a more appropriate and legitimate name for the game series as it is used in the largest proportion of the games regardless of what format they're on.

The "Advance Wars" title seems to have carried on to the DS iterations of the game in Western releases, but I question how long that trend will carry on. --Zilog Jones 02:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * The original FW doesn't have a subtitle, whereas Fire Emblem for the NES does. Also, "Famicom Wars" was never used for AW1 or AW2, or the GBW series for that matter. And Battallion Wars is simply a spinoff, albeit one that Nintendo has direct involvement in.


 * What do subtitles have to do with this? That is all besides my point: "Nintendo Wars" is never used anywhere officially. "Famicom Wars" has been used in the majority of Japanese releases despite all but two being released on consoles bearing the "Famicom" name, and is the title of the original game, so I think it would be much more appropriate to call it the "Famicom Wars series", rather than making up a name. --Zilog Jones 21:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree completely. We're changing the name of a whole series to make it sound more relevent. You don't generally do that in an encyclopedia. 21:16, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You also don't apply a name to games that don't use it, so Famicom Wars is no better. I suppose we could call it "Wars (Nintendo series)" or something. -Unknownwarrior33 20:01, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree the series should be named "Wars", but then Battallion Wars would be included. Each game in the series did have different gameplay, though, except for the Advance Wars trilogy. This discussion is going to continue for a while, it seems... I Am Magnus  talk  23:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Agree I don't really see why people are arguing this. The series in the United States does not, as yet, have an official name. Yet, in Japan, Nintendo has used the name "Famicom Wars" to refer to most of their games. In absence of a collective official US title we should use the Japanese one. The current "Wars (series)" has never on its own been officially used, plus it is extremly non-descriptive in terms of article titles. Also, the argument "You also don't apply a name to games that don't use it, so Famicom Wars is no better" doesn't hold because Nintendo has in fact used the name Famicom Wars for the Wii (Totsugeki!! Famicom Wars VS) and DS (Famicom Wars DS) games in Japan. In addition, almost all other franchise articles, still include spin-off titles even if they have a different name than the parent series.71.190.182.22 (talk) 23:12, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Red star
In Japan they don't call it orange star. we only call it orange star here b/c of the obvious.

Wrong release date
"Advance Wars was released in the USA on September 9, 2001" in this article versus "September 10" in the Advance Wars article. Which one is correct? Or are they both wrong? :( 124.171.159.105 (talk) 01:18, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Game Boy Wars Turbo Famitsu Version & Super Famicom Wars BS Ban Tsukinowa-jima
Recently the user 99.68.127.149 deleted Game Boy Wars Turbo Famitsu Version from the games table, I re-added it because is not just a minnor version of the Game Boy Wars Turbo, instead it's a whole new version with new maps, new IA and even a different presentation (some minnor issues and a start screen including the "Famitsu Version" in the title), consider Game Boy Wars, Game Boy Turbo and Game Boy Wars Turbo Famitsu Version as different versions of the same game (Game Boy Wars Turbo is in fact an expanded version of the original Game Boy Wars) so there´s no reason to delete anyone of this versions from the table, I believe that the reason of this table is to make known all the games of the series to the public, deleting them is like erasing Pokémon Yellow because is an expanded version of Pokémon Blue/Red or that's what I thought, the same happens for Super Famicom Wars BS Ban Tsukinowa-jima wich is an special version of Super Famicom Wars only playable for those who had a Satellaview periferic, Super Famicom Wars BS Ban Tsukinowa-jima has different maps and include the "BS Ban" in the title, while the normal Super Famicom Wars doesn´t. There is confussion because people think that this game and the "BS Ban" are the same game and that is a Sattellaview game (even the Wikipedia page for Super Famicom Wars list this game as a Sattellaview game wich in fact is not true, this is true only for the "BS Ban" version while the no "BS Ban" was only downloadable to the Nintendo Power Cartdrige).

As an extra observation, the Advance Wars Days of Ruin/Dark Conflict it was never released in Japan so the observation made from the same 99.68.127.149 about excluding the unreleased japanese version from the table is appropiate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daipop (talk • contribs) 16:50, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
