Translation NES / Famicom

Famicom Wars English translation

ファミコンウォーズ

A complete English translation of the Famicom original of the Advance Wars series by Stardust Crusaders, covering every menu, map name and result screen.

What's translated

Stardust Crusaders translated the whole game: the command menu used on the battlefield (build, units, intel, supply, end turn), the setup screens where you choose players, animation, music and computer strength, the names of the maps and the end-of-battle summary with each commander's losses and spending.

An older English patch by AKA translations from 2008 also exists; this one is a separate, newer translation.

Playing it

The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese cartridge (revision 0B) following the instructions that come with it on the group's project page.
