Inspired after playing Smash Bros, tried a series cuz you liked the character? Options

Plain and simple, have you ever got into a game series because you learned about the character(s) from playing Smash Bros?

In an example, Fire Emblem vaguely sounded familiar, but after playing Melee and thinking Roy and Marth were pretty awesome, I decided to give the series a chance. I was fairly surprised and initially disappointed when I got Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Ike's first game, doesn't feature Roy or Marth) because the game play was fairly limited. I got more interested when I got further cuz I realized it was much harder than other games, including other tactical games. Then later when Ike was announced for Brawl I thought that was pretty awesome, but I miss being able to play as Roy and I enjoyed his game (Fuuin no Tsurugi, or the Sealed Sword) much more than Ike's. I was already familiar with the games from every other series (I even had Game and Watch Gallery for the original Game Boy) so Fire Emblem was really the only one that was new to me.

Seeing Marth and Ike in Brawl and getting to play all of a couple of minutes of Marth's game (I have the Japanese version of the game) was what got me into Fire Emblem. First I purchased Marth's game (Monshou no Nazo, Mystery of the Emblem) on the Wii Shopping Network.

And... I liked it so much that I got Ike's games, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) I liked both of Ike's games, Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, so much I got both the Japanese AND English versions of them. And they are now among my favourite GC and Wii games. ^^
