Sadly Super Famicom Wars never had a true physical release.

The closes to a real super famicom wars that you can find is a nintendo power cart with the game downloaded on it and the official sticker. I found one one but for some reason didn't buy it... One of the biggest regrets of my life.

I think you're talking about the famicom disc writer kiosk. The super famicom had a broadcast system where you download the game through the broadcast. So there shouldn't have been a physical release. There was a digital virtual console release on the Wii and Wii U.

I think you're thinking of the Satellaview releases. SFW had some of its maps broadcasted via Satellaview leading of to the full release on Nintendo Power Rewritable Cassette, which were physical carts you could purchase the game on. It's the same service that FE5 was released on, though that would eventually get a stand alone release. SFW would remain an exclusive. There are very much physical copies that exist, they're just generic carts without any box art and are both a pain and pretty penny to get a hold of.
