Rosalina trailer.
It seems her dress has star patterns on it.
Rosalina seems interesting- The idea seems to be that she can launch Luma a set distance away with some attacks and then from there they mirror each other. Her aerial attacks and throws don't look to use Luma, or at least not as much as her ground fighting.
Also- Rainbow Road stage confirmed.

I sure said that!Now that I've watched it, thoughts on the trailer:
- Kirby Air Ride 2 confirmed! (Though that would be cool if they threw Kirby into a Mario Kart game at least.)
- This whole trailer was adorable. Cuteness overload between Kirby and the Luma. And DK poking Kirby was a nice touch
- Rosalina looks like she is made of stars
or is a vampire. - Her playstyle seems really complex. I wonder how you control both her and the Luma simultaneously. At first I assumed it was like Olimar and the Pikmin, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
- Someone needs to make a gif of Villager trying to capture Luma.
@Anom: Same here. I especially love the unique, simple control scheme of the game. (And I'm a bit surprised in hindsight they didn't make a Wii New Play Control version of it, since between the waggle for attacking and the tilt for gliding, it almost seemed custom-made for that.) The game's only real flaw as far as I'm concerned was it had too few stages and the fact that there were effectively only three characters you could play as (and I suppose that its Rainbow Road equivalent was really boring). Everything else was golden. The tons of extra content in it made up for those flaws as far as I'm concerned.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.On another note, seeing both Rosalina & Luma as well as Olimar & Pikmin makes me think at this point that it's pretty unlikely they wouldn't be able to get the Ice Climbers working in the 3DS version. I guess it still doesn't completely rule out them being cut, but it helps...

Welcome to th:|Fuck yeah that was the first newcomer reveal we've had since... ever. Rosalina is the best Mario character.
Would still appreciate some more franchise representation though.
Oooooh... very cool. Love her special attacks.
Also, FLUDD confirmed for Mario.
Also also, looks like we're getting some sort of cosmic stage for the 3DS. Wonder what it is.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

Also, FLUDD is still part of Mario's moveset(did we know that already?).
