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)
[edit] 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 Magnustalk 23:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Red star
In Japan they don't call it orange star. we only call it orange star here b/c of the obvious.
