Yeah, right now they are exclusives but that doesn't mean they have to be. SEGA has Wave and Sticks who are from the Riders and Boom spin-offs. Rosalina is from Galaxy, she played a more or less major part in one game and appeared at the end of Galaxy 2. And now she's everywhere. It's just that Nintendo doesn't take the RPGs seriously. Yeah, Galaxy sold better but it's not like the RPGs are selling terrible, in my local gamestore they're always on the No.1 spot whenever a new one comes out. At least Paper Mario (the character) should be playable in Smash since Toon Link is as well. SEGA has the opposite problem, they're taking their spin-offs way too seriously. You can now stop shoving Sonic Boom down my throat, SEGA.

Geno is not a Nintendo character, he's from Square Enix and he did have a cameo in Superstar Saga, they even gave extra credit for him. That's why he's so controversial.
