Are there any examples of well-known characters that originated in a video game but are part of a non-video game franchise? Someone from a super hero game, maybe?

I'm trying to think of plausible workarounds to the "must be a game character" requirement.

The "Xeno" versions of the Dragonball cast from the Dragonball Heroes arcade games. They're basically game original versions of the Dragonball cast specifically for the Heroes original stories.

There's even a story with the actual Goku and Xeno Goku together.

A more realistic example, but that probably still won't happen, is any character from Megami Tensei related games. The original Megami Tensei was an adaptation of a novel, but everything afterwards was game original.

Quite a lot. They seem to be popular now but not sure if their popularity exceeds the source material characters.

I mean, The Witcher 3 itself has plenty of original characters, including the DLCs. So you have the Bloody Baron, Gaunter O' Dimm, Olgierd, etc.

Hmm, this reminds me, Arkham Knight was argued to be an original character, then turned out to be a common Batman character's new MO all along.

In other news, it's Monday in Huge European Timezone now.

Not sure if a joke because of the recent Spider-Man game, or a legitimate question.
If the latter, he's the final boss in the N64 Spider-Man. If that's a spoiler, Aeris dying is a spoiler. :P

Playable Meowth, Jessie and James with the later two using gadgets would be incredible.

Their star KO would obviously be them blasting off again.

2B means NieR music in smash so I endorse her

Even 2 NieR tracks in Smash would be better than dozens of Devil May Cry tracks - and I love that series' music.

Does corocoro do general video game news? I only ever recall it being brought up for pokemon news. Of course the newcomer is probably Incineroar anyway so that'd fit.

I'd be pretty surprised if CoroCoro scans leaked today. That'd be like...4 days early? Ish? That's not super common to happen. Usually it's closer to like..2 days, tops.

I also doubt there'd be anything smash related. Smash doesnt typically get all up in corocoro, even if the newcomer was a Pokemon. And especially these days, CoroCoro will be behind the curve of official announcements until the following month.

Sick news. Also, guess it's a pokemon newcomer.

Real talk, I would adore Team Rocket for Smash. I dunno how they'd do it, but I'd love it.

As I recall, I remember someone in Japan getting arrested from leaking Corocoro, so I don't expect leaks that early.
Although, this assumes that If we get Smash news from there.

It's a person making two, possibly three, assumptions:
that corocoro will leak around today (thus the "apparently", this is the absolute earliest corocoro leaks)
that corocoro will have anything related to the direct. It will "probably"

The person is thirsty for news of smash/the direct from any possible source. Famitsu is out, CoroCoro is in


FLASHBACK TO APRIL 2014
Greninja & Charizard were revealed on the 8th
Meanwhile, in corocoro that month a 4 page spread on....on...!
Diancie & her movie.


Which is to say even if it was incineroar in the direct, it will probably not be in corocoro

That's happened several times and doesnt' really affect leaks all that much

but even when far away from people getting arrested for it, leaks this far out are rare.
