Maybe he just saw a more unique moveset in Rosalina?
I mean he had no reason to choose rosalina this time last year, she was sorta popular and as far as we knew we would never see her in a main game again plus before 3D World we never saw her fight or do much of anything for that matter unlike bowser jr, toad, paper mario and the other big choices, rosalina felt like at least to me they just tossed her in due to her sudden burst of popularity when she was announced for 3D World
I'm not disagreeing with you at all but it does seem unlikely for them to be able to put together such a unique character in a span of like 2 or 3 months.
2 or 3 months seems like more than enough to make one character especially with namco's help, I mean moddeling, animating, hitboxes, all that **** can't take too long with all the help they have
It's not just that though. They also have to balance that character against the other 40+ characters in the game. They have to do testing too.
You're saying that Sakurai didn't have any reason of including Rosalina before she was included in 3D World. So please answer this question : why was she initially included in 3D World ?
It's a mystery to be sure, I think it could go either way. They might approach dlc differently to what we might be expecting.
If it hints to Isaac being playable then it also hints to an Advance Wars rep. You can't have one without the other if you use that reasoning.
It doesn't in of itself. That said, the VC release certainly doesn't hurt Isaac.
That and Sakurai's whims.
She was added to 3D World cause they wanted to add another female and she was the most popular of them at the time, that popularity wasn't really big enough for smash at that time though
With the help from namco it can't take too long and sakurai is doing all the balancing himself

I highly doubt the roster has been entirely leaked at this point. I say we still have two to five newcomers left to go.
I don't think it would happen but if sakurai wanted to make a last minute change it wouldn't be too hard with the bigger team thanks to namco@
They're not adding characters at this point, it's far too late. Now they're polishing the game and working out the kinks before release. They're not adding stuff, that'd be much too laborious at this point to rework the game with the new additions. Anyone who knows even a little about development will tell you that. It's too late. If anything they're cutting stuff that didn't wind up finished.
Namco is a proficient game developer, but they're not magic. No matter who the developer, adding any character at this point and keeping the summer release will hurt the game. And Sakurai said this time he's specifically not doing the balancing all by himself. And as others have also been saying, it's not just a matter of adding a character and being done with it, it's hardly that simple. This isn't even GS4 we're getting, it's a VC release; one of many this month btw. By your logic we might as well add Andy too. You'd say that Isaac is more popular, and you'd be right, but if he wasn't demanded enough to initially make the cut, a VC release really won't change too much in the short term. It might not change anything in the long term either.
Your argument doesn't exactly give faith you have the best understanding of game development. :/
Yes it would. A last minute change is stressful on any developer no matter the size, because release dates are planned according to how development is coming along. They don't just choose a random time period for release. If you think development of this game isn't planned and scheduled to the extent where adding a character on a whim mere months before release won't throw a huge wrench in the schedule, you're quite mistaken. I guess you don't understand that the time for adding characters has come and gone, no matter Namco's size, though I don't see what's so hard to wrap your head around. :/
At least it means nintendo hasn't completely forgotten the franchise and more people have the chnace to play it
If release on the VC counts as Nintendo not forgetting about a series... which series have Nintendo forgot?
F-Zero, Custom Robo etc
Shin Oshigama.
Z-Zero Releases:
Shin Onigashima? No... they're on there. Both on the NES VC and the SNES VC. Japan only ofc.
I'm 100% with you on this, Golden Sun came out around the time of Melee, so therefore to this day I'll say Isaac should of been added in Melee, and I feel the same about FE, I'm not a big fan of the series, but I did enjoy playing Roy in Melee and Ike in Brawl, to me they were like my alternative to Isaac.
To be fair, GS only existed like three or four months before Melee came out. Maybe a trophy would've been nice like Pikmin got, but a character would've been a little soon tbh.
I played golden sun gba LOL. they were awesome and way better than fire emblem gba games. I even went back to ds version to play golden sun ds. Im just hoping but I know sakurai won't add him or maybe he will...... O.ONot second on the charts, but still second among VC games in France. Nice to see GS is still faring well outside Japan too.

DuckTales is second... Not surprised.
I'm hoping to see Isaac over chrom. Cuz I don't want to see a bunch of sword char. Golden Sun <3 that series. So my support all the way. Not sure how the djinns will be implanted if Isaac gets in.
The way I thought they could work was if they add their element to A attacks, and they boost the power of same-element attacks/move types (Mercury Djinn + Greninja shurikens/katanas = DEATH BY WATER).
Perhaps, but to be fair then he like Pit who was a Trophy in Melee should of been playable in Brawl then Felix could of been the Assist Trophy using Move instead.Not second on the charts, but still second among VC games in France. Nice to see GS is still faring well outside Japan too.

MAGMIS
, I totally agree, we already saw of all Assist Trophies returning Isaac was not one of them, and we saw another Assist Trophy character in Mac become playable meaning it is still possible.
