Nintendo Everything discusses the free updates for Mario Golf: Super Rush and how they may be doing more bad than good for Camelot games.
It is time for the Fatal 4-Way Princess Battle! Normally in the Nintendo Link Versus Series, we pin two concepts against each other, but this time we are doing things a little differently. In classic Fatal 4-Way rules, four princesses will enter the battle but only one will exit. Who will win between these four Mushroom Kingdom women? Click here to find out.
The article recognizes that Pauline is not a princess. However, Rosalina does have a crown, and according to Mario Galaxy lore, she is absolutely a princess.
And since Pauline is a mayor of New Donk City, she is kind of the princess of the city, no? hehe
Rosalina doesn’t have a kingdom to rule. Nowhere in SMG was it stated that she was a princess
Rosalina is described as an intergalactic princess and a "mother" to the Lumas. That's straight from Nintendo.
Being an honorary mother to the Lumas doesn’t make her a princess
Big Boss for example is seen as a father to his soldiers, that doesn’t make him a prince. The Boss was seen as a mother to Big Boss and Zero, that doesn’t make her a princess.

Cultured Vultures: The Nintendo Switch is home to plenty of great sports games, but here's our collection of the best Switch sports games.
To be honest I've found their sports games poor. Had hope for Mario Golf and Mario Strikers but no, they failed. Mario Strikers may get better witrh updates but not right now.
I think "free updates" CAN be good, but I feel like a lot of games are starting to abuse it. Selling a 70-80% complete game & then dishing out free updates to get it up to 100%. It keeps people holding on to the game longer, so less used copies out there, and a lot of people feel like the thing they bought is getting additional value, so it improves customer sentiment. But unless that comes on top of an already feature-complete game, it feels intentionally manipulative.
Double edged sword for some companies, as people like me will wait until more content is added & then pick it up on sale. It can hurt early review scores as well. Since Nintendo doesn't really do sales, they're pretty much safe from a business standpoint. A lot of their fans aren't as tuned in to review scores - for good, and for bad - so I think they're safe there as well. I feel like Nintendo stumbled onto the model with Splatoon & have been using it a bit more as time has gone on. I think it is likely the right business move, but I don't think it is ultimately the best option for actual customers.
Free to play is the REAL demon. That is truly awful to games. Even if you've bought the title then it gets destroyed by the tack greedy free 2 play model. Yuk
