NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION is a game set in Japan’s Sengoku period, a turbulent age when feudal warlords battled for control of the country.

Harness all of your ingenuity and resources to unite Japan!

In this fourth entry in the NOBUNAGA’S AMBITION series released for the Super NES™ console in 1994, you are a Sengoku Daimyo intent on unifying all 48 feudal states, from Tohoku to Kyushu. The flow of the game, in which you gather state power, ready your military, and win battles to expand your influence, has been expanded to include the dimensions of culture and technology. Collect tea items and give them to your generals as rewards. Raise their intelligence by holding tea ceremonies, giving them an advantage in diplomacy and trade ability. You can also increase the technological power of your feudal domain to gain the ability to manufacture rifles and warships that will give your military a boost in battle.

Select one of six characters to play as, each with different backgrounds and motivations. Discover treasures, like rare animals and monuments, at over 130 destinations while commanding a fleet and avoiding enemies on open waters. At ports, recruit new members to your fleet, purchase new ships and upgrades, gather useful info on your next target, and settle disputes by challenging adversaries to duels. Set sail across the world’s oceans for adventure!
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire (KOEI TECMO GAMES)
Released in: 1995
Number of Players: 2
It’s the Second Han Dynasty, and China is on the verge of collapse. The landscape is dominated by court-family infighting and emerging powerful warlords. This struggle for power has brought an era known as the Three Kingdoms, complete with constant warfare among China’s most courageous and skillful heroes. As a ruler during these difficult times, it’s up to you to unify a country torn apart by rebellion. Expand your kingdom by building a strong military, or try outsmarting your rivals during negotiations. With powerful weapons, including automatic firing crossbows and catapults, you can engage your opponents in field battles or castle battles. But don’t forget: a ruler’s strength is also measured by the economic power of their kingdom and the happiness of its people!
Note: This title supports up to eight players using a single Joy-Con controller. You can use Controller 1 or Controller 2 regardless of the number of players.
