    And Fire Emblem: Three Houses wasn't the first FIre Emblem home console game to come west. And I seriously hope you want to keep handheld games and home console games on separate lists because that's the only good reason I can see for leaving Advance Wars off.

You could shift to your wolf form and attack tanks for bonus damage. There was also a great leveling system that made it so even the minor generic soldiers could become great asset's.

    You have been equating tactical games and strategy games in this video. They are not the same.
    Real-Time strategy and turn based strategy games have been mostly absent from consoles but tactical games, especially tactical RPGs, have had a strong history on consoles even going back to the 80's, several tactical RPG series started on consoles and were console exclusives such as Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Warsong, Suikodon Tactics, etc.
    Tactical games have never been absent on consoles so including Fire Emblem and Valkyria Chronicles on this list is a bit incorrect.

    The immediate, obvious problem with putting a strategy game on a console is controls. A controller can't begin to compete with mouse and keyboard for strategy. I thought the alien vs predator game that came out on consoles was great, but good luck doing half of what you could with a PC strategy title in that game.

    It's worth mentioning that the original PS1 did actually have its own mouse released, which was usable for a bunch of different strategy and RTS games.
