Nintendo is biased against furry/scaly characters
10 years ago
Well, the news about the vote on the last Super Smash Bros character has been confirmed. Bayonetta has won by a landslide and according to some videos was nominated #1 in Europe and North America.
My only response to this is, "Why?"
People don't seem to care about King K. Rool anymore, and Nintendo is making things worse by excluding him in most of their recent titles. Doesn't help that they trolled us with that stupid Mii costume. What is their problem with scaly characters?! I mean, they're always given the short end of the stick, and they deserve better. They've done this to the Koopalings and now they've done this to our beloved Kremling king who deserves to be given as much respect as Bowser. I mean, seriously, Mario has Bowser, Link has Ganondorf, and Kirby has King Dedede, so why can't they allow Donkey Kong's villain join the fray as well?
I keep hearing stuff like "Nintendo doesn't want to use King K. Rool, get with the times," or "King K. Rool and the Kremlings are owned by Rare, so Microsoft owns them now." I call that bullshit, because one, King K. Rool has a huge fanbase and he's more memorable than that Tiki guy, whatever his name is, or that Snowmad leader, I don't even known his name either. You see what I mean? The new villains in Donkey Kong Country Returns are forgettable, but King K. Rool still lives on in our memories and fandom. Exactly why they won't listen is beyond me.
That just tears it, I'm boycotting Nintendo and Super Smash Bros indefinitely. Unless Nintendo finally listens to their fans, then all hope is lost. I need to get something to eat to calm myself down. This is so depressing. Made even worse that this had to happen right before Christmas. What a cruel world we live in. Been in so much stress this year. This is a sad day for K. Rool fans and reptile fans alike. See you soon, everyone. I feel like crying now...

And from what I see in terms of third-party character additions, they are only adding characters from other Japanese companies that have worked with Nintendo and Namco-Bandai Games before from other games, since they along with Sora also worked on this game.
Now I see how Pac-Man got in the game. Because he was in Mario Kart Arcade GP, which Namco-Bandai helped Nintendo develop and they also both developed Mario Kart 8. Same with Megaman. Capcom and Namco-Bandai Games were partners for quite a long time. And they did have somewhat of a relation with Square-Enix as well, and they did have a relation with Nintendo in past games, since they helped with Super Mario RPG as well as Mario Hoops 3 on 3 and Mario Sports Mix.
