Nintendo Wii U · 1988
About this game
In the 16th century, Japan's Sengoku ("Warring States") period divided the nation into numerous feudal states, each ruled by a daimyo.
These daimyos would often go to war with each other.

Many dreamt of conquering the land, becoming the Shogun and ruling the entire country.
One of those daimyos was the ambitious Nobunaga Oda, a merciless ruler and a renowned strategist.
Players take on the role of Nobunaga Oda or one of many other daimyos to try to conquer Japan.
Nobunaga's Ambition is a turn-based strategy game which can be played in different modes.
Gameplay is similar to Koei 's better known Romance of the Three Kingdoms game.
Players begin by selecting either a 17 regions scenario or a larger 50 scenario.
Then, the player must select a daimyo, each of which is rated attributes in several categories; Age, Health, Ambition, Luck, Charm and IQ.
As the game progresses, these values change depending on events in the game.
The age value represents a time limit of sorts, as an elderly daimyo becomes increasingly likely to die of old age or sickness.
During each of turn (one per season), players can issue one of several commands from a menu.
They include: Recruiting new soldiers, Training the army, Buying Weapons, Increasing Peasant morale, Forming alliances or Hiring Ninjas to bribe & assassinate.
When one player attacks another, there is a war fought over the defender's region.
Battles are fought in an overhead-view hex battle map.
Each player takes turn moving units and issuing orders, which include attack, move, bribe and surrender.
The goal is to defeat all of the enemy units (or force them into surrender).
Army units each have a certain weakness against other types of enemies, and are also affected by the terrain.
About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.
Gamevaro tracks Nobunaga's Ambition for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Nobunaga's Ambition to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 1988.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Nobunaga's Ambition — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
