==== Super Famicom Wars ====

Game was only released via the Nintendo Power cart writer. It's a bit bare-bones, no story mode.

The pre-game options aren't explained in-game:

  * Fog of War
  * Level Up. Even if off, Yamamoto's level-up perk still works!
  * Domination. If off you can win a battle by capturing 75% of buildings instead of having to wipe them out or capture their HQ.
  * Quick Battle. No battle animations.
  * Quick Map. No map animations.

There was also a series of Satellaview broadcasts: [[https://superfamicom.org/blog/2024/10/preserving-roms-about-war-amidst-the-war-on-rom-preservation-and-hacking-them-up-too/|Preserving ROMs about war amidst the war on ROM preservation. (And hacking them up, too!)]]
