So do I

It's the Year of the Luigi and she doesn't even get acknowledged
 
I like Rosalina as an individual, and I believe many fans have the same feeling. However, if we're discussing her position in Mario series, it has to be a different story.

It's kinda like Rosalina suddenly becomes an "important" representive of Mario series. The question is that "sudden". Actually it's been six years after her debut, that's quite a long time. However, she didn't recieve any other important role between Galaxy/KartWii and SM3DW, and she was absent in lots of games where other main characters keep making their appearances (except Toadette). And in the view story, we still can't see Rosalina has a special position in the Mario cast. Without stories and descriptions, she is still an outsider from the "galaxy" and honestly I feel bad for her in this point.

I'm happy to see more Mario franchise heroines. But since the problem that originates from Nintendo's lack of character developmen still exist, it shouldn't continue.

I was just like "you need to be just a ton more games than this" and slowly I've been seeing that, and now it has hit that she is a well-known Mario character.

She is awesome, so she deserves to be in more games, doesn't she? It's like many people complaing no Toadette or, BowerJr or babies in other games.

Rosalina got quite a backstory there, and it wouldn't hurt if some characters got small, simple ones.

We should know that her own story isn't doing with the whole thing of Marioverse, and Rosalina still needs more development as well as other characters. I don't think Mario characters need too much "backstory". What I'd like to see is Mario characters have more participation in RPGs where they can show their personality in serious actions, not party or sport tournaments.

Daisy only appears every spin-off games, not a single mainstream mario game except super mario land.

Have you ever heard of "taking cause for effect"? In that theory, that's still Nintendo's fault since they didn't make recurring characters that are useful enough in "mainstream" games.

In a narrow sense of story, actually Rosalina's role is closer to Tippi and Kersti the RPG characters (not mentioning Sprixie this time), who could just had one appearance after a certain event.

I love it.

Rosalina is just awesome, and from the moment I saw her in Galaxy, I was just like "you need to be just a ton more games than this" and slowly I've been seeing that, and now it has hit that she is a well-known Mario character.

Just dang, her popularity is insane, but you know who else's was as well?

Bowser Jr., as as soon as he made his debut, look at all the games he was in and all the playable stuff he was in, even though he was not even around for that long! It's not like this hasn't happened before.

Now, if only Bowser Jr. entered the Smash Bros. fray as well. But that's a different topic.

Anyway, it's quite funny how Rosalina, a supporting character to start out, managed to graduate to being a playable in a mainstream game.
 
I'm really glad Nintendo's giving Rosalina some spotlight time. This could possibly be a sign of Rosalina's entry into the Mario cast, which I have no problem with =). :mario: :luigi:
 
I think Rosalina is a far more interesting character than the others. Yes, mostly it's fan service but she's gonna have a pretty unique moveset in Smash 4 compared to what Daisy could use.

It doesn't really seem too random, popular characters get more roles. Having a female character that isn't getting kidnapped is a nice change.
 
Yeah shes so interesting in the series that doesn't do character development so i'm sure shes going to develop further lol

hence the 'I think'. It's just what I think, completely a personal opinion. It's nice to have a female character appearing more frequently that isn't Peach or Daisy. I didn't even care about that whole backstory thing in Galaxy 1 though, could've done without it honestly.

I feel like I should brand an 'IMO' somewhere here just so I don't get another sarcastic response about my opinion on a videogame. It's not really something I'm taking seriously hence why I don't really think I need much of a reason to find a character interesting other than choosing to do so or not.
 
Rosalina is one of my least favorite mario characters so i'm not thrilled with Nintendo's sudden obsession with her at all
