* This trope could've easily been called "Meryl Silverburgh debuted in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''", originally a character from [[Hideo Kojima]]'s previous [[Adventure Game]] ''[[Policenauts]]'', which was officially slated for an American release at one point, but apparently canceled when Konami couldn't properly lip-sync the English dialogue with the game's [[Full Motion Video|FMV cut-scenes]]. The bottom line of this is that the [[Shout
** To a lesser extent, many of the tropes that ''Metal Gear Solid'' are credited for creating were actually featured in some form or another in the original MSX2 games, especially in ''Metal Gear 2''. Remember the part where you have to look at the back of the game's packaging to obtain Meryl's frequency? Or where you had to follow her to the women's bathroom? Or where Snake's mysterious informant tells him to watch out for mines? ''Metal Gear 2'' did all of that first.

* ''Devil World'' is the only game by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] that has been released in Europe but not in North America. Despite that fact, Tamagon has made cameos in three games available worldwide - ''Tetris DS'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and the [[
* ''Kuru Kuru Kururin'' is a Nintendo series that focuses on a duck-like character who must pilot a spinning stick-shaped vehicle through mazes. Because the series never made it stateside, Kururin's vehicle appearing as an assist trophy in Brawl led to a lot of confusion from American gamers.

* The [[Trope Namer]] and current world record holder of this trope is, of course, Marth, the star of the original ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' game who made his (and the series as a whole) Western debut in ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Melee'', over a decade after the first ''Fire Emblem'' game was released in Japan. His presence and popularity motivated Nintendo to release ''Fire Emblem'' games in the West at last. However, since that series uses mostly [[Non
** Roy actually ''did'' debut in ''Melee'' - his own game hadn't come out yet in Japan when the game was released, and his inclusion (and possibly Marth's as well) was meant to promote the upcoming game. His game never even made it to America, who instead got the prequel starring his father Eliwood. For Europe and Australia, however, this is a straight example, as ''Melee'' came out there a few months after ''The Sword of Seals'' was released in Japan.
** Technically, Marth debuted in the USA (as "[[Spell My Name With an "S"|Mars]]") when the ''Fire Emblem'' OVA was released, in 1997.
