Trivia
- Atlus is the second third-party company to be introduced to the Super Smash Bros. series as DLC, the first being Square Enix.
- Despite being featured in Smash 4 as a developer of The Wonderful 101, PlatinumGames was not formally introduced as a third-party company with playable characters even with the last DLC of Smash 4 with Bayonetta. The reason might be because PlatinumGames isn't owner of the Bayonetta IP, unlike how Atlus was originally an independent company who created, developed and published the Persona series years before being bought by Sega.
