F-Zero
Pretty much these two. Those and Fire Emblem
they still make FE games though and its more popular now than ever before internationally, F-zero and Mother have both been dead for more than a decade with no hints of resurrection
>implying Smash is what made people care about FE and not the constant shilling Nintendo gives it
Played earthbound on SNES tho
Mother is over though. Itoi made it perfectly clear that he finished telling the story he wanted to tell. Agreed on F-Zero though.
>smash is everything
fuck off u retarded 12 year old
Truthfully the only characters that would be known if Smash didn't exist are from Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, third party franchises, Duck Hunt, and ROB.
Everything that isn't Mario, Pokemon or Zelda. Face the facts you stinky smashbabby.
Samefag
>mother is dead
thats because the story reached its end
>Earthbound's cult following in the West happened after the game spectacularly flopped and Ness was featured in Smash
hmmm...
>2 opposing points
>samefag
huh
If it wasn't for Smash, FE would have probably never left Japan.
Wii Fit and Kid Icarus
> Literal who Ness gets in
> Isaac is an AT again
Sakurai is a fucking hack
Nah people still dont care about either of those. You need to get out of Yea Forums sometimes.
I didn't even know who Kirby or Pikachu was before Smash 64, let alone Captain Falcon or Ness and I was born in 1988.
>wii fit
okay ur retarded
unironically sold way more than ur favourite franchise
> Kid Icarus
Only if you are a faggot zoom zoom
FE got released in the West due to the success of Advance Wars in the West, Smash was just a bonus
>Isaac
Who?
>fag that never played Advanced Wars
Babbys first jrpg
more like faggot doom yoom haha goteem
I thought it was Pokemon
Even with Smash nobody really knows what Fire Emblem is.
Imagine being this retarded
Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises now, there is a reason why they have 7 reps and generates about 1 billion each year
>Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises now
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
>there is a reason why they have 7 reps
Yeah, because three of them were clones with very little difference beyond their sword's sweetspot. The other four are well deserved, though.
COPE
>2 out of 7 are echoes
>MUH ECHOES
>cope
>worst selling first party switch game
>EIGHTEENTH (18th) best selling 3ds game even after all the pushing Nintendo tried to do for it
>Only like 13th or 14th best selling nintendo franchise overall despite having 20 games
lmao dont be surprised when the franchise is dropped after three houses flops
Fuck you I grew up with GX its the best racing game of all time
Not him but they'll probably keep it around since mobile games make an assload of cash
I would care if the frqnchise left, as it’s really interesting, but I would absolutely love if Ness was deleted from smash forever.
2 out of 7 are echoes but they universally have a lot of really similar moves, Roy still has a lot of the same moves as Marth with tweaked animations.
Half of the JRPG garbage would be almost unknown if it wasn't for Smash. Why do you think they keep adding anime swordsman? It's free advertising for games that originally didn't sell well, and weebs over here will gargle Nintendo's cum for it.
Fire Emblem is like a less popular Fate for nintendo. As long as waifufags exist, smash will be dominated by swordfaggots.
>Roy still has a lot of the same moves as Marth with tweaked animations.
Roy was charged as a full character in Smash 4 and the dev team still considers him a full character.
I love shota
Sure but design and functionality wise he's similar in a lot of ways. Same Up smash, same special moves, disjointed standard attacks. He's like a rushdown Marth but he's still based a lot on him.
>charged as a full character
Yes, and?
The dev team doesn't draw lines between echoes and clones. They also consider Falco, Pichu, Dr. Mario, and all 3 Links separate characters. Some of these are more broad examples now, but nobody ignores their similarities to their counterparts. Meanwhile the 4 Marths are more different in name than they are in appearance, let alone moves.
>Yes, and?
He doesn't get to be a clone again whenever it's convenient for you.
>The dev team doesn't draw lines between echoes and clones
then who does?
