Even better, add Don-chan.

Good idea let's add a completely unknown character not even owned by Nintendo.

Yes, because Nintendo has never done that before

Wouldn't call them unknown
 
That's also an exceptional case; it's from an agreement from HAL/Sora (Sakurai) and Kojima to include Snake. Nintendo would not add random 3rd party characters like that. And if they did, it would be publicized and shown by now, as a promotion.
 
I'm not arguing that them adding Don-chan wouldn't be unlikely, I'm arguing that Nintendo has included 3rd-party characters in their games before. So its highly unlikely, but not impossible, even if Don-chan is an

Just because you are not familiar with a character does not make them unknown and/or not worth including.

True, but he is much more popular then R.O.B.
 
Nintendo doesn't really care who's popular or not among the fans. They just include what they think fits or whatever they please.
 
I doubt fans wanted Baby Daisy badly to be back. Also, H. Queen does have her share of fans, so don't diss them.
