Stopped reading there and bursted out laughing. Kid Icarus has a pretty large fan base for a niché Nintendo game (read: non Mario/Zelda game) and it sold over 1 million so far. It's also one of my favorite "new" Nintendo franchise. As for Fire Emblem, Awakening is pretty popular and considered as one of the best game for the 3DS. So you != everyone. You probably didn't tried Robin, because he/she is one the better new characters in the game. Don't write him/her off as a "mehh, another sword fighter FE character", because he/she can use magic that adds a lot to his/her character uniqueness.

PS: Actually, Xenoblade and Earthbound has a LOT smaller fan-base, than Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem... 

Lol Earthbounds Fan base is bigger than both, and it hasn't made a game in the west since the 90s.  Xenoblade's fanbase is huge for a new I.P while pit and marth have been getting free advertisment in smash for years and FE has been making consistent games for about 2 decades, it still can barely pull out a million sales..


Earthbound is a very very niche game, as is kid icuras, you're massivly overrating it's popularity.

Google trends has Fire emblem down as many many times more popular than Earthbound. And at no point, even during the small spike of interest during Eathbounds vc release, does Earthbound come anywhere close to completing with Fire Emblem in terms of search results.
