Social The Rosalina General/Social Thread: 2nd Edition

[Tino]

I'm doing pretty well (for once). Things aren't as serious as they were in the past, so the family household has been doing better. I haven't been kicked out, but they want me to find my own place to live, so I'm gonna try to find my own place to live. Oh, and I got a new job. So pretty great so far! By the way, it's great to see you again.

That's good to hear things are going well for you and your family. Having your own condo is a pretty awesome experience. Hope you're having a great time on that new job of yours, and yeah, it's great to see you again as well.

 

[mario123007]

Whoa! Things sure have changed since I last saw this place! Anyways, what's been going on in the Rosalina social thread? I hope I haven't missed out much! (I probably have though, it's been like 10 months lol). By the way, I'm guessing there's a new social thread cuz the other one probably reached max posts or something.


Wow that is amazing! Absolutely beautiful Rosalina mod on Mario Sports Mix. I'm surprised the slot didn't go over White Mage (since it seems fitting).

Hi Shirma! Glad you are back! I am also curious why did you return though, since you also spending most of the time on Squidboards, I rarely go there for now since I still haven't buy the game.
I was still in high school when you left, now I'm in university now. Things gets really busy and kind of stressful when I'm in university...

 

[MezzoMe]

There you are, it's been quite some time since I last saw you, though not actually much, I used to retrieve communities of three years before, also

One thing I'm sure of is that they could never reach SNK/CN's level

fix'd
Also what you said is pretty much the reason, I got that Zelda will be on the NX as well, like everybody cursed despite the several denies(recalls me of the Tulpa theory), Wii U is probably going to reach five years, but they are mostly going to be hollow ones

I actually haven't been on Squidboards for almost the same amount of time I haven't been here.
So, you're in a university now?! That's really great to hear! Listen, I know how you feel about things being stressful in universities. I think whenever you can get a break, the best thing to do would be to relax. Also, can you tell me what you're studying? I'm curious now.

lol SNK/CN XD. It's gonna suck that the Wii U might not have much left. It's basically dying the way it started out; barely any games at launch, barely any games near its end.

 

[ChikoLad]

If you guys wanna know about Rosalina's creator and the director of Super Mario Galaxy, watch this video. It's a good summary.

Brug... kind of ironic is that I joined a very social club but it kind of stresses me... also our department council....
It isn't easy to relax, hell, there isn't really a time for me to relax...
I am majoring English Literature, pretty obvious.

And your account still limits people viewing your profile?

Anyway, many things happened when you left, both Rosalina thread and Nintendo. First was Iwata's passing, Cloud in Smash announcement, and Smash Bros Final presentation.

A friend of mine said Bayo is busted, that anyone could pick her up and win. I was just about to pick up Rosa for the first time, so I challenged him to a MM, saying my Rosalina would be better than his Bayonetta after one week. We played today.

Sweetest $1 I ever earned.

[Swiftie_Muggle]

Today was a boring day.

Then again Kerri Kane emailed me to say Hi and linked me to this screenshot of a current update for Mario Kart AGPDX.

Yummy isn't it?

And then you wonder why i like her so much ; she is such a nice and fun person that likes Rosalina as much as the next fan.

Hopefully this kind of karts return in the next Mario Kart game for extra fun.

This guy is a mastermind, probably the bread to Miyamoto's butter.

 

[TheBeardedPunisher]

As frustrated as I currently am with Nintendo, even though I still think the massive scolding towards them is very much warranted considering they gave me along with many other Wii U owners a giant middle finger, I should stop wasting my energy on them for now. There's more I can say about their problems and why I can't see myself supporting the Nintendo Dreamcast NX for the sake of integrity, but maybe by E3. There are better things I can put my energy towards, like loving Rosalina. Of course it's impossible for that to cease or slow down at any point, the focus makes me feel so much better. Onto more Rosalina stuff!

Truly a brilliant creator with such natural talent given by his passion for film and gaming to be able to bridge the gap between story and gameplay making it so seem-less. The way he was able to develop Rosalina's story both in narrative and interactions with the player is pretty much perfect for a non-story-driven franchise. It makes us feel so connected with her and alongside having her own backstory, we are adventuring with her in deep, imaginative ways. Rosalina is always there to remind us that we all carry the essence of the stars. I really hope Koizumi gets another chance to allow his creativity to shine once again. Hopefully the stars will be in alignment for him soon.

 

[ChikoLad]

I honestly think Koizumi's best chance at getting the director's seat again, is with a Rosalina game, honestly.

I would like to see him work on Star Fox too.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

Along with the link of the Picture , Kerri also linked me to a twitter page of a japanese Rosalina fan.
Looks like she keeps up with these news as well.

I was able to lurk for a bit and found many cute and amazing images.

As much as i dislike Baby Rosalina , this image makes me backtrack on that feeling a bit.

This , apparently custom made, advertisement for Mario Tennis Ultra Smash using Rosalina as the Main Image

He's the only one who could lead the development of a Rosalina game anyway.

Yeah, Baby Rosalina. I wonder if Koizumi was even involved in Mario Kart 8, but if he was, how could he let this happen. And if he wasn't... Well, he got seriously betrayed.
Whatever, Cat Rosalina is incredibly cute. I feel in a Cat Rosalina mood since some time.

 

[ChikoLad]

There seriously isn't enough Cat Rosalina fanart, or merchandise.

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

At this point , it should be obvious that Nintendo wasn't clearly thinking when they specifically revealed the last 2 characters from Mario Kart (base game). They seen so rushed that it fits the suppoused rumor that they were not able to finish some stuff for it.

Baby Rosalina curently only exists in 1 game and 1 series , so it's fine for me. In the end , as a person that basically only plays as Peach or Rosalina , i wouldn't say this affects me in any way as both characters are guaranteed to appear and keep appearing as playable , etc. So Baby Rosalina appearing is just ''whatever'' to me at this point ; At least they tried to make her a bit more ''unique'' (?) .

 

[ChikoLad]

I just take Baby Rosalina for what she is, and look at it as "Rosalina if a Mortal Kombat character performed a Babality" on her.

I don't look at it as a literal "Rosalina when she was a baby", but "Rosalina turned into a baby".

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Rosalina just needs to continue wearing her signature dress. In fact, I did come across a drawing that I never saw before.

Yeah, if we saw her "was a baby", her hair color should be more different rather than just blond even when she's a baby.

 

[MaJoR MuCuS]

New Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Wii U details. Looks like Rosalina will onlky be in that one event as we all feared.

Over 30 playable characters from the Mario and Sonic series appear, including some that are exclusive to certain events. Sporting hopefuls can put themselves in the game as their Mii, and take part in tournaments for each event. Coins and rings earned through gameplay can be used to buy additional costumes from the Mario series or Sonic series respectively.

[ChikoLad]

The dream is dead.

Definitely won't be picking this up. Sounds very lacking.

The Hub World looks really pretty though.

Yep, the guest thing... I don't know if I'll buy though. No Rosalina everywhere doesn't sound good, but the game still looks fun, and I like this style.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

So Rosalina is a Gymnastics only character then. I'm kind of wondering if Zazz will only be in Table Tennis, while Zavok is all Boxing.

>limiting newcomers, even though two are on the front cover
>The singeplayer tournament mode is unlockable
>Still focused on the Miis rather than the actual Mario and Sonic characters
>Still no attempt at giving the console version a story mode
>No mention of online play
>Missed opportunity for Power Class Rugby Rosalina

Literally all this game is gonna be good for is ripping Rosalina's model from it.

Oh and the Beach Hub looks pretty I guess.

Not to mention the music is not that great. London 2012 music was great but Rio 2016 is just the typical Brazil festival music. Is not I hate it, but a M&S game, it should still have it's own unique music.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

The Mario & Sonic Olympics have often felt very lackluster, even when the series first started.

Okay I give. Why does that Muppet remind me of an underweight Cookie Monster?

 

[Swiftie_Muggle]

i don't get the point of adding characters if they are gonna do this.

It shows me how awful Nintendo is being nowadays.

Do they actually believe we would like it like this??

This is basically why people don't like the Wii U. My trust in Nintendo is dying each time

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Remember that this is Sega, a company who never allowed any playable newcomers after the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Looks like Rosalina disguised herself to have access to other sports

How is that even plausible in the slightest...?!

That was an extracorporeal experience. Such gracefulness.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

It's Nabbit in a Rosalina suit in a Bowser suit.
You heard it here first folks.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Something tells me that Nabbit will only be usable in the sprinting events. He always carries around that bag after all.

That's Arlo, a Youtuber who shows up as a puppet in nearly every of it's video. He had also made some videos with Lockstin.

I dunno whether to impressed or mortified. o___O

Wow, recent Gaijingooba's video really made me want to check out Gurren Laggen, yeah, in this video it also reminds me why I often step back from anime. Fandom often makes some anime characters that were never really sexualized but still ruin by fandom... in the video where Gaijingoomba goes to Japan and saws some anime store that often have those fandom stuff. Which is true, even anime stores in my country...

 

[Tizio Random]

Good video. Also the remix of "Libera me from hell" in the background is really nice.
Fan service is everywhere, no one can deny it, even in the most famous western movies and cartoons that are aimed for someone that is at least over 7-8 years. And yeah, Yoko was one of the reasons I start watching Gurren Lagann but oh god what I have found. Her physical appearance is the last thing you noticed in the anime, seriously.

Yep, I mean, I can feel the same thing with Gaijingoomba, I haven't been to Japan but come on. Taiwan also has a deep anime influence among the young generation. And hell, some of the anime like Kantai in the video, I remember I saw my sister play that game and watch that anime as well. But I will never see those who should be bada** and cool, but later got sexualized by fans or even officially...
I am watching animes like MHA and KoIF, animes that have positive motivation plot (Sort of) and seldom have fandom.I will watch Gurren Lagann some time.

So TTGo is supposed to have an audience that is at least over 7-8?
