After 33 years, Advance Wars' first appearance on Game Boy has finally been translated

Game Boy Wars.

One of the earliest entries in Nintendo's beloved turn-based strategy series, Advance Wars, has finally gotten the English translation it's deserved for 33 years.

Advance Wars actually predates the Game Boy Advance by several decades. It debuted as Famicom Wars on the Japanese equivalent to the NES back in 1988, spawning a series that would feature titles like Game Boy Wars and Super Famicom Wars on successive platforms. Nintendo never went back and translated the earlier entries, which means sporadic fan translations have been the only way to enjoy these games in English.
