Advance Wars Series

With the release of Famicom Wars, breakaway developer Intelligent Systems made their mark on the videogame market. The layers of carefully planned strategy involved in taking control maps was a vital component of the game's success. The series has had a strange history: three of the games in the series were developed and published by Hudson Soft; and the first game in the series to launch in America did so on September 11th 2001, the day of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
