Agreed
As a Mario fanboy, I am astounded that they didn't add Bowser Jr. / Shadow Mario to balance out Mario to Pokemon. Heck, they could make them half-a**ed clones and nothing would happen.
We don't need more whiny idiots *****ing about clones
I see no one being hypocritical; if you're referring to me sticking up for the underdog, DK, I am suggesting that it simply get one more character (K.Rool) to make it equal to Kirby (which doesn't lose any representation at all, except for Meta Knight's insanity), and preferably stages that better represent the series as a whole, not just the less important sub-series (spin-off: Rumble Falls, arcade: 75m, although this is not important). And of course the trophy total would be buffed for all series represented. DK is not a problem here (it doesn't need more trophies or stickers), but Kirby has many many ability trophies, making it second to Pokemon (which is understandable) in trophy totals.
It's hypocritical because as I said, Pokemon got the most reps and yet people complain about the Kirby bias? Heck no. The fact that the Pokemon bias is clearly first gen only makes it worse.
As for DK, we got three DK stages here. And 75m is of great importance. Nintendo wouldn't exist if it wasn't for DK arcade.
Star Fox has three characters, clearly equal to Kirby, so by that logic, Sakurai has a StarFox bias.
And of course, must we forget that overall, Nintendo has a HUGE bias for Mario or Zelda and any other series gets largely ignored. You mean to tell me that when another franchise gets the recognition it deserves, people complain about it but NEVER about the obvious Mario/Zelda bias that's been going for 20+ years?
