Perhaps something caught his eye..The 3DS one is vaguely similar to the pose he makes in the Shadow Dragon artwork. Though his head is facing the wrong way.

Possibly a new idle animation to go with his new look?
It's about time we got a series represented besides Mario and Pokemon.(and third party in general)Marth's back? Meh, that's cool.
****** kisses with Marth? Sounds legit.I like how the 3DS version is more colorful. Good design choice. With that and the outlines the characters will really pop out. If it looked like Brawl, they'd all be so small and DESATURATED OR WHATEVER that they'd blur into the background probably.
Also Marth is almost as pretty as my lady... his nose... makes me think of hers... I just want to... rub my nose against it...

Well going by this logic i can assume Ness will be revealed as well since Earthbound was no longer a franchise for us =PI actually got this.
The most well known nintendo franchises (who are veterans in smash) are the 8 principals on smash64 + FE - yoshi (take that yoshi lovers).
We had all those franchises except FE, so, i think he was the natural choise.
Im not saying i expected him, i was waiting for zelda, but really makes sense for me.
You got a lot of competition.He's my boyfriend not yours **** off I'll kill you.
I see everyone is lustful towards Marth. Doesn't really surprise me in the slightest, but hey I'm not complaining.
He's my boyfriend not yours **** off I'll kill you.
Let me put it this way; Chrom's chances never really were riding on Marth coming back. This means absolutely nothing at all. Also, on the Japanese version of the site, Marth is showing off Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, meaning that it's only in America he's showing off the latest game(and possibly some other regions too). So it seriously has zero bearing on it, and Chrom's chances were never even likely or unlikely. There's nothing to say about anyone besides Ike, Roy, or Lyn at this point and time. They all have character models in Brawl, and moving ones through Smash history. This means that making them playable is the easiest. Anybody besides them is entirely up in the air.Since he is used as a promo character for FE: Awakening, I wonder if this hurts Chrom's chances...
I hope Lyn or Roy with a revised moveset gets in along with Ike.
None the less i love his cape and hair.
I don't even play Fire Emblem, so I don't know what to love, other than that hair.Everyone in Smashboards is falling in love with Marth (Well, except some)
I wasn't connecting Marth's reveal with Chrom's chances, because we all knew he would return:Let me put it this way; Chrom's chances never really were riding on Marth coming back.

Sakurai might not even ask who to put in and could go with any of those 3, and possibly just Ike and Roy like he wanted to have in Brawl(along with Marth, obviously). Or he could go Ike and Lyn. Or Roy and Lyn. Or even Chrom and Lyn for all we know. Or to put it another way; There is nothing likely about anyone at this time. At least not yet. No statements from Sakurai or Intelligent Systems either. Or Nintendo. I don't expect anything specific, and for good reasons.
Minor nitpick: the game being advertised is Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~, the Japan-only remake of FE3 Book 2. Shadow Dragon was a remake of FE1 and was released internationally.Also, on the Japanese version of the site, Marth is showing off Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon,
Isn't the latest game in Japan Shadow Dragon(VC I presume)? That's something that Chrom isn't in. Latest game that Marth is in in America? Awakening. It makes perfect sense to advertise their latest appearance per the region.I wasn't connecting Marths reveal with Chrom's chances, because we all knew he would return:

I was connecting the fact that Fire Emblem: Awakening was used as the promo game for his reveal, to be the reason for hurting Chrom's chances.
While it is possible that multiple characters could be tied to a game's release, i question why would they use Marth to promote the game that Chrom was the protagonist. Especially, as you mentioned, some regions have Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon as the promo game
It's also worth noting that Peach is now used as a promo character for Super Mario 3D World.
Again, Marth's JP page advertises FE12, NOT Shadow Dragon.Isn't the latest game in Japan Shadow Dragon(VC I presume)? That's something that Chrom isn't in. Latest game that Marth is in in America? Awakening. It makes perfect sense to advertise their latest appearance per the region.
Pretty easy to miss this. When I never saw your post.Again, Marth's JP page advertises FE12, NOT Shadow Dragon.
Well Shadow Dragon was released outside of Japan in 2007, so the game is offered in America. And I don't think Shadow Dragon is offered on the VC yet.Isn't the latest game in Japan Shadow Dragon(VC I presume)? That's something that Chrom isn't in. Latest game that Marth is in in America? Awakening. It makes perfect sense to advertise their latest appearance per the region.
So... yeah, that's simply why he's promoting Awakening in America(and other ones where it's the latest game, possibly). No more, no less.
Either way, still has zip to do with Chrom here. If he's even considered, he could get in at any time. Could be to promote any Fire Emblem game, could be on the release of SMTxFE even. Or to promote it in general if he's in the game.(meaning it could be before the game is released, and not even a Nintendo Direct)
I don't think this has any relevance to Chrom's chances. Which were never definable as likely or unlikely anyway.
And this is coming from a guy who doesn't even support him, but I never saw him as specifically notable by default either. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if he makes it regardless of this. Sakurai is too unpredictable to tell.
Fixed. Safe to say all of these items will make it in....or were meant to be in at some point in the games development.![]()
Sandbag confirmed
Not counting Awakening DLC, yes.Pretty easy to miss this. When I never saw your post.
That's his latest game in Japan, right?
Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light(AKA FE1) is on both the Wii and 3DS virtual consoles in Japan.Well Shadow Dragon was released outside of Japan in 2007, so the game is offered in America. And I don't think Shadow Dragon is offered on the VC yet.
The problem with that is that nobody liked Shadow Dragon, plus it's not Marth's most recent game in Japan. It's also almost half a decade old.I'm just saying, they would of at least held off using Fire Emblem: Awakening to promote Chrom and stick to using Shadow Dragon across all regions to promote Marth.
In Brawl, yes. He was real helpful in CD factories.Sandbag was an item?
Sandbag was an item?
Wasn't Shadow Dragon. Read Shipichu's post. A different game. But anyway, latest in America that Marth was in being promoted? Makes sense.Well Shadow Dragon was released outside of Japan in 2007, so the game is offered in America. And I don't think Shadow Dragon is offered on the VC yet.

Good to know for future reference.Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light(AKA FE1) is on both the Wii and 3DS virtual consoles in Japan.
Well liking a game is subjective, because i hear a lot of people hated Other M. Yet, we have Samus updated to her Other M design as well as a Other M stage.The problem with that is that nobody liked Shadow Dragon, plus it's not Marth's most recent game in Japan. It's also almost half a decade old.
Yeah, I saw. However, while Marth was heavily reference in the story of Awakening, he is still DLC. They also had the option of leaving the American promo game blank until Nintendo decided to re-release Shadow Dragon on VC/eShop.Wasn't Shadow Dragon. Read Shipichu's post. A different game. But anyway, latest in America that Marth was in being promoted? Makes sense.
Kept the items turned off for too long, huh?Sandbag was an item?
Notably, it's fairly disliked in Japan as well.Well liking a game is subjective, because i hear a lot of people hated Other M. Yet, we have Samus updated to her Other M design as well as a Other M stage.
Or do it this way since Sakurai possibly wasn't sure who to add besides Marth so far?Yeah, I saw. However, while Marth was heavily reference in the story of Awakening, he is still DLC. They also had the option of leaving the American promo game blank until Nintendo decided to re-release Shadow Dragon on VC/eShop.
Because it's Marth's latest appearance. And who says more than one character can't represent/promote the same game anyway? I don't remember this being any actual rule... I think this is assuming way too much without anything to back it up.Just saying the 1 game to tie Chrom to was Awakening. Assuming that they tie one character to one game, why would they use up Awakening?
