Reception and Legacy
On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the Famicom version of the game a 33 out of 40.
The original Famicom Wars was followed by a series of sequels which were released only in Japan as well, which includes Game Boy Wars in 1990 and Super Famicom Wars in 1998, both which were developed by Intelligent Systems, as opposed to a sub-series of sequels to the original Game Boy Wars, which were developed and published by Hudson Soft. The series eventually made its international debut with Advance Wars, released for the Game Boy Advance in 2001. The maps from both, Famicom Wars and Super Famicom Wars were later included in Advance Wars and its sequels.
A group of six soldiers from the game appears in the Wii game, Captain Rainbow. The soldiers aspire to win the volleyball gold medal.

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks.
