[up]That doesn't prove anything. All it shows is that while most characters are revealed on some kind of date, but doesn't mean every significant date will reveal a character.

[up][up][up]Nintendo didn't "insist" on anything. Sakurai was given a choice between developing the next Smash for Wii U or 3DS, and he decided to Take a Third Option and do both.

The injuries aren't Nintendo's fault.

Every character since e3 was over have been linked to a specific and recent game in their series.

That's literally the only "rule" we've had about reveals and nothing more.

Marth was never an exception. There's a recent game in his series. So he got revealed to show it off. That's it.

This is also why there is seriously no way to tell when they'll reveal Ice Climbers. They might not at all, and we could just see them in the final copy instead. With it being released fairly soon, Sakurai may leave a lot of stuff out before its release date.

[up][up]No, your point was it's somehow unfounded that characters get revealed on dates when the majority of them have.

[up][up] Awakening was released in February (and then, only in North America; it's been out for way longer in Japan). Marth was not revealed to promote it. That makes no sense whatsoever.

[up] No, my point was that it's ridiculous to assume that Ice Climber's anniversary was a guaranteed reveal date, and that somehow not revealing them then made them unlikely to be included at all.

Or, to generalize: Sometimes important dates will have a reveal. Sometimes they will not.

Well, recent as in them occurring on the same year. But Marth was revealed in November, whereas FE:A was released in February and April. That's a fair gap.

True, the site itself was only released in the summer, but that's still a several month gap between the site going up and Marth being revealed.

It's still promoting of the game regardless.

The gap is meaningless. It's the latest game, so what else could he promote?

[up][up] I like this idea.

What makes even less sense is the Japanese site links to the Shadow Dragon website.

Irene: You seem to be missing the point of the coinciding dates. Also, Marth is not even in Awakening.

Holiday of this year is looking pretty likely.

As for which I'll get I've decided that I'll get the Wii U version first and will decide on the 3DS version later.

There were theories going around that Sakurai was going to promote Tropical Freeze by revealing Diddy that month, but since the game got delayed Sakurai had to choose someone else and, since he was practically guaranteed anyway, decided to show Marth.

That's cool. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Also, Marth is not even in Awakening.

He is, actually. He's one of the DLC characters, and he and his game's events are referenced in Awakening's story, albeit as a hero of legend (except for the one character who knew him directly).

#31543: Jan 4th 2014 at 7:31:59 PM

Marth doesn't appear in Awakening at all?

...Seems mighty wrong here. Or in other words, yeah, he does. Otherwise why would the website have a link to his Awakening Character page.

[up][up][up] Exactly that too.

As for Ike, I have no idea. He might return. I do like playing as him, but who knows?

And still, Shadow Dragon website link.

It seems like Sakurai is taking important events in a franchise as a suggestion instead of a rule. He sticks to it most of the time but there are at least two instances in which he's shown something with no real prompting.

Why would he?

Roy did not return, and beyond that he did not behave any thing like he did in game, Ike is not a glacier unit.

He is probaly going to be cycled out for another firemblem rep since the series has 2000 charecters, to keep things more fair and diverse.

Irene (4 Score & 7 Years Ago) Relationship Status: Crazy Cat Lady
#31549: Jan 4th 2014 at 7:35:03 PM

And he's downloadable as a character anyway. The point is that Marth does indeed appear in the game and that's all that matters.

Anyway, different countries linked to different games for Marth. I have no idea why, though.

Awakening is for America only, I believe.

[up] Roy did not return because he couldn't be finished in time. He was planned to.

Shadow Dragon doesn't have an American website anymore, so that might be why.
