Front Mission (フロントミッション, Furonto Misshon?) is a series of turn-based tactical strategy video games produced by Squaresoft, now Square Enix. The series was created by Toshiro Tsuchida. It began in 1995 with the release of the first game, Front Mission.
The main draw of Front Mission is the use of giant mecha called \"Wanzers\" (from the German \"Wanderung Panzer\", or walking tanks) in battle. The storyline in the series revolves around military conflicts and political tension between powerful consolidated nations that form during the 21st and 22nd centuries. The average Wanderung Panzer is bipedal and stands at 20 feet and 25 tons. Throughout the game there are many types of Wanzers, each with different attributes.

Five main games in the series have been produced:
Front Mission (SNES, 1995, WonderSwan Color, 2002, PlayStation, 2003, Nintendo DS, 2006);
Front Mission 2 (PlayStation, 1997);
Front Mission 3 (PlayStation, 1999);
Front Mission 4 (PlayStation 2, 2003);
Front Mission 5: Scars of the War (PlayStation 2, 2005);
In addition, there are three \"side-story\" games in the series. They depart from the turn-based tactical strategy gameplay of the rest of the series:
Front Mission: Gun Hazard (SNES, 1996) - a side-scrolling action shooter;
Front Mission: Alternative (PlayStation, 1997) - a real-time action/strategy game.;
Front Mission Online - an online action game for PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows.;
North America
Front Mission 3 (PlayStation, February 29, 2000);
Front Mission 4 (PlayStation2, June 15, 2004);
Front Mission 5: Scars of the War (PlayStation2, tentative);
Front Mission was remade for the PlayStation in 2003 as Front Mission 1st, but was not localized for North America, due to the declining market for PlayStation games in that region. As for Front Mission 2, no real reason exists for the lack of U.S. localization, but it could possibly be due to Sony Computer Entertainment America (then-publisher for Squaresoft titles in the U.S.) simply passing on releasing the game.
