    I would not be surprised if there wasn't a single person who works at Nintendo that's even heard of Hotline Miami

    If you told me Nintendo employees only played Nintendo games, I would believe it

    Not even like it's a company mandate

    They all choose to only play Nintendo products

    Also, it's probably a company mandate.

    I would have zero trouble believing that Nintendo has it on their contract that they can't own an Xbox or Playstation and a department that searches the internet for employees' PSN/XBL IDs and fires them if they find them. Especially in light of their recent comments.

    Also probably nobody in Japan has even heard of Hotline Miami.

    I sympathize that Marth is probably a pretty boring character, but i'd be lying if i said i wouldn't miss playing as him if someone didn't have almost the exact same moveset.

    I know Ike has counter and a charge B move but it's not the same

    Please tell me you're joking.

    She's the most recognizable character from the most popular entry in the franchise yet, and maybe the ONLY popular one ever in America

    Marth is famous for being in Smash Bros and I don't know if the game he's from was ever even translated into English

    Also it is literally a plot point in Awakening that Lucina looks just like Marth

    Shadow Dragon is a remake of the first game and Marth is the protagonist.

    Marth is kind of the face of Fire Emblem. He was the first lead and has more games to his name than anyone else in the series.

    Four for Marth to two for Leaf and Ike.

    And two of them were remakes that sold so poorly the first one hit ten dollar racks and temporarily ended the series in the USA, while the second sold so bad in Japan that Awakening had to save the whole series.

    Yeah, some face of the series.

    Am I the only one that thinks that if Ghirahim was gonna be in Smash Bros. they'd have gone with the Skyward Sword designs for Link and Zelda?

    Though I think it'd be cool if instead of having Zelda/Sheik, Skyward Sword Impa was added and given Sheik's moves.

    I promise you that Sony encourages its employees to always check out what the competition is doing. Weird isolationism is a Nintendo thing which I suspect exists in deference to Miyamoto and Yamauchi's ghost.

    You boot into your own little village and all your game achievements translate directly into items for your system/town which people on your friends list can visit
