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.

I already beat that. That was a good day (The day I learned how to patch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) )

I played all day when I got it. I just haven't had time for Thracia.

(And I technically never played the first one, but I played Monshou no Nazo's book 1, and SD for the DS. That counts, right?)
