History Trivia / NintendoWars

** Inverted with ''Advance Wars'', which didn't saw release in Japan until three years after its initial release, packed with the second game of the sub-series.
** Also inverted with ''Days of Ruin''/''Dark Conflict'', called ''Famicom Wars: Lost Light'' in Japan, which the physical release was cancelled after many delays but eventually, around five years after its overseas release, made it out on UsefulNotes/DSiWare exclusively as a Club Nintendo reward.

* SequelFirst: Japan had an unusual example regarding the original ''Advance Wars''. Its release was delayed there due to the September 11th attacks (the American release was saved by virtue of it shipping on September 10th, though it did go on sale in most stores on 9/11, being a Tuesday). It ultimately wouldn't be released until 2004, when it was bundled alongside ''Black Hole Rising'' as a double pack.

* DuelingDubs: ''Days of Ruin'' / ''Dark Conflict'' is a particularly odd example, as it has two completely different English scripts, one for North America (''Days of Ruin''), and the other for Europe and Australia (''Dark Conflict''), which were produced simultaneously. And we don't mean just character name changes; ''literally the entire script'' was translated from scratch twice for the same game.
