It's a brilliant strategy, honestly. Xenoblade is extremely niche. Most people I talk to about Smash Bros who've seen the "50 fact extravaganza" saw the Gaur Plain stage and had no idea what game it was from. |
It was a clever marketing strategy, and one (if they could keep going with it) could pay off very well. As I said, when they revealed Shulk a LOT of people on youtube were curious to know who that was, and interest could definitely peak when they do some research and see the reviews on what Xenoblade is.
