Shut up.
IMO the real reason FE isn't represented in things like this (besides not regularly pulling in tens of millions of sales like the big boy Nintendo franchises showcased in that lineup) is that it varies too much between entries to be represented by a singular character. Sure, Anna is recurring, but she's not at all as core to the series' identity as, say, chocobos and moogles are to Final Fantasy. Even if she doesn't completely work as a series mascot she'd still be my first pick to represent Fire Emblem in a general Nintendo lineup just because her appearance, the Awakening era design in particular, wouldn't look that out of place.Zelda is still targeted primarily towards kids and has tons of things that are merchandisable in terms of plushies and figures, to which FE or Xenoblade couldn't achieve to a wide scale. Plus, Link really doesn't look all too out of place in the image. He is still a brighter character with not much detail. He looks more inline than say, placing a Three Houses promotional art on the venue as the more 2D touches would clash hard. With Xenoblade, I could maybe see the new Definitive Edition Shulk design work, but 2's designs would be off the table for being too anime or sexual for a family store.
