It was Plundersaurus Rex's dream to be the greatest pirate dragon ever.

Rosalina and her drawn-out backstory was at least an attempt at putting something original in the plot of a non-RPG Mario game, and both deserve more credit than they get.

Maybe Nintendo has different rules about using them for promos. Since Megaman isn't really an active character right now, and Sonic and Pac-Man both have games and stuff out, Capcom might be giving them extra freedom with him.

I'm just going by Google Translate, but it seems to be saying that the built-in buttons on the New 3DS will function just like a Circle Pad Pro, and that Smash 4 would therefor not support them.

No, the games that are already out that support the CPP will work with the N3DS without it, and Smash will not support the CPP. They're two seperate notes. Entirely. The page is about support for the CPP, so if it has a note that "Smash isn't supported", it wouldn't be talking about anything else.

What's wrong with Rosalina

For some bizarre reason, people often compare Rosalina to other females who become recurring characters in a series (most commonly, I see comparisons to Marie from P4 and Lightning from FF13).

It's almost like a fear reaction, where a female character is promoted to "cast regular", and thousands of neckbeards flock to the internet and call it "forced fun" or whatever. Literally the only thing the three have in common is that they are female and have gotten more focus and development since their introduction.

I really have no clue why the nerds are so resistant to accept Rosie as a permanent member of the main Mario cast, but they are.

The only difference being Marie and Lightning at least have character aspects that one could reasonably despise while Rosalina doesn't really have any of that. She doesn't really do anything aside from her backstory and remaking the universe at the end of SMG1 (spoilers).

I guess they hate her because they think they're just shoehorning her into everything lately? Or because she's yet another Mario character? Or because she's, god forbid, a girl? Who gives a poo poo? She's at least an interesting character (despite not doing much), unlike Bow....ser....Jun....ior...

I was baffled at the inclusion of Bowser Jr. until I realized he's just (literally) a vehicle for the Koopa Kids to get their screen time.

Truly she is a far less interesting character than many other characters who missed out on a spot. If only we had original interesting characters like "the guy who does a crotch chop" or "angry space dragon" instead.

Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning was the most popular part of that game (which was otherwise fairly unliked) and so Square-Enix gave her a fairly big marketing push. Angry fans have been pushing the idea that nobody actually liked Lightning and Square-Enix was just trying to push the character because (reasons) despite that being fairly demonstrably untrue.

Bwahahaha seriously? Yeah, she wasn't shoehorned in at all :cue completely optional character with completely optional backstory that has no effect whatsoever on the only game she had a meaningful role in:
