I love you all to death (Just so I can smash bros with you) (SSBWiiU/3DS)

Don't believe me? Well, a majority of the Earthbound/Mother fans were introduced to Ness in the first Smash Bros. games before ever hearing about the SNES cult classic. Heck, when Marth and Roy were introduced, there was a sharp demand to bring the Fire Emblem games to North America.

Not to mention Pit actually getting a brand-new game after 20 or so years, just because of the massively positive reception to his re-introduction in Brawl.

I completely agree. But Nintendo can't afford to do that this time; they have to hit a home run with this game. It has to sell tons of Wii U's.

I dunno about that. Getting a constant stream of quality games out, whether they feature obscure characters or not, sounds like a pretty darn good plan to me. More games = more sales.
