These games need to be better exposed!!! Doesn't SSB help??? Thats how i first knew about the franchise back in 2001
SSB is actually the reason why Fire Emblem got localized. Marth and Roy were playable characters, but before SSBM most people outside of Japan did not know who they were. It was all the hype generated by SSB that the second Fire Emblem got the green light to be localized, and man....the GBA is by far my favorite handheld now because of games like this.
SSB isn't a garentee though, Earthbound got a lot more popular with Ness in SSB, and Lucas was in SSBB, but we never saw Earthbound 2 get localized outside of Japan.
Yea i know, I like pit alot and was really excited for KIU because i loved him in Brawl! Not all but some people learnt about games (FRANCHISES) because of brawl which to me is cool! Fire Emblem on gamecube was awesome, like i said b4 KIU on 3ds! I even found out about golden sun because of isaac in brawl(even though i didnt kno about gba games)
ANOTHER Ip i played because of SSB is a game called sin and punishment! 2games came out 1st was awesome and its sequel was an arcade that was great! I hope Saki makes it in SSB4 now along with Isaac to get some recognition!!!
Even though the game doesn't promote other ip's 100% its still good to have!
Maybe i should make another thread about SSB and ips people played or learnt from the series?

Had Kid Icarus not been a playable character in Brawl, I would doubt that he would have gotten his own game. Actually I think development for a new Kid Icarus started in 2008, only a year after Brawl released.
Issac isn't playable in Brawl is he? Is he a trophy? I haven't played much of Brawl since I bought it lol.
I hope Shulk from XenoBlade is a playable character in the next Smash Bros. It's a bit late for Issac, but who knows. Nintendo has been talking about making a handheld Smash Bros., maybe that game will get Handheld specific franchise characters, like Samus from Metroid Fusion, Welt from Soma Bringer, the main character in Fire Emblem Awakening, etc.
