Overview
Game Boy Wars is the second game in the Nintendo Wars franchise, and is the first portable version of the series. It was released for the original Game Boy on May 21st, 1991 in Japan. The game was developed by Intelligent Systems, the company who are also responsible for the recent iterations of the series such as Advance Wars on the Nintendo DS.
The game features a total of 36 maps, and is the first game in the franchise to feature a proper save system - in the first game in the franchise, Famicom Wars, if players remove the cartridge, the save data are erased. Game Boy Wars differs from Famicom Wars in that the map is based on a hexagon system rather than a square grid.
The game features multiplayer support where two players can connect two Game Boy systems together and battle against each other. This feature requires two physical copy of the game to be in each system in order for it to work.
