Two variants of Nidhogg are present in the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[wikipedia:Monster Hunter: Frontier G|Monster Hunter: Frontier G]]'', a massively multiplayer online RPG in Capcom's ''[[wikipedia:Monster Hunter|Monster Hunter]]'' franchise, accompanying the [[Chrom]] and [[Lucina]] armor sets as part of a crossover promotion. The standard brown-colored design from ''Awakening'' (Japanese: {{hover|双聖器ニーズヘッグＩ|Sōseiki nīzuheggu ichi}} ''Sacred Twin Nidhogg I'') accompanies the Chrom armor, while a white-colored variant (Japanese: {{hover|蛇弓ニーズヘッグＩ|Jakyū nīzuheggu ichi}} ''Serpent Bow Nidhogg I'') accompanies the Lucina armor.<ref>[http://members.mhf-g.jp/campaign/fe/index.html CAPCOM：MHF-Ｇ公式メンバーサイト ファイアーエムブレム 覚醒コラボキャンペーン　特設サイト] (Japanese)</ref>

[[Lucina]] again wields Nidhogg in her guest appearance in ''Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.''<ref>{{Cite web|published=14 January, 2015|retrieved=25 January, 2015|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6zgkp1YBRw|title=Nintendo Direct 1.14.2015|type=YouTube video}}</ref>

* Nidhogg is the only Sacred Twin weapon available in {{FE13}} (not counting [[Excalibur]], which is representing the Archanean variant rather than the Magvel variant). As a result, it is also one of four Sacred Twin weapons (again, not counting Excalibur), to appear in more than one game in the {{FES}} (the others being [[Siegmund]], [[Sieglinde]], and [[Vidofnir]], which all also appear in {{title|Heroes}}).

* Nidhogg and the [[Double Bow]] are the only regalia weapons which gives a higher equipping stat bonus in ''Awakening'' (+10 Luck in Nidhogg's case) than in its original games (+5 Luck).

* In spin-off appearances post-''Awakening'', [[Lucina]] has been twice depicted as wielding Nidhogg as one of her primary weapons, in both ''Monster Hunter: Frontier G'' and ''Code Name: S.T.E.A.M''. In ''Awakening'' itself, while Lucina can potentially wield Nidhogg through [[reclass]]ing, no overt connection between her and the bow is hinted at.
