Marth Debuted in Smash Bros: Difference between revisions

* Since ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Gundam Wing]]'' debuted before the original, ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' on Toonami, American viewers met the [[Char Clone]] Zechs Marquise before the original villain. This got so bad that in the early 2000s, the single best way to identify a "new fan" was whether or not they mis-identified a Char cosplayer as Zechs. This happened a ''lot''.

* In a cross media example, ''[[Professor Layton and The Eternal Diva]]'' introduced some new characters from the not-yet-released-outside-of-Japan prequel trilogy to the western world. (Mainly in Europe - in America the movie was delayed just long enough for the first game to be released first.)

* ''[[Bleach]]'s'' fourth movie introduced a character named [[Bleach Movies|Kokuto]] who would later go on to appear in the videogame ''Bleach: Soul Ignition''. Nothing wrong here; the movie wouldn't be dubbed for a good few years and the game would probably never see the light of day outside of Japan ([[No Export for You|As is, sadly, the case with most Bleach videogames]]). ''Then, however'' comes the news that N.I.S America are releasing the game in the West under the slightly modified title; ''Bleach Soul Resurrección''. And apart from the name and the opening theme song which had to be changed due to [[Screwed by the Lawyers|licensing issues]], everything was left intact, ''including Kokuto'', even going as far as to giving him an [[Travis Willingham|English voice]]. Given that his backstory was not given in the game and at this point, there wasn't even a [[Fan Sub]] of the movie available yet, a standard reaction to unlocking him is "Who the [[Stealth Pun|Hell]] is Kokuto?"

* The entire cast of ''[[Wangan Midnight]] Maximum Tune'', an arcade game released worldwide, comes from the manga and anime series ''Wangan Midnight''. Despite the former first being serialized in 1992, [[No Export for You|neither the manga nor the anime have seen an official release outside of Japan]].

** Another example is Shuma-Gorath. Most people know him more from the Marvel vs Capcom games than they do from the comics, though he only actually counts as an example in territories where the comics didn't get published.

** In ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars'', surprisingly, Ippatsuman (and his [[Humongous Mecha]] Gyakuten-Oh) is the only one who fits in this trope. All the other Tatsunoko (and Capcom) characters had their licenses applied in many ways.
