Well, as said her design doesn't scream to me final boss, but as i said the high prescence of flaptors and shy guy lead me to believe that such antagonist (if they don't pull Bowser) will have something to do with birds and masks.
In fact the only emblems i saw so far are stars, some posters of Wingo, many shy guys themed objects and a strange symbol in the western based level (idk what it is, could be nothing)
Tbh, i would also like to see a different final boss, just to know if EAD Tokyo can pull off memorable new villains and final bosses without involving Bowser in some way...
The only time they tried that was in DK jungle beat, they created Ghastly/Cactus King which wasn't exactly memorable but since they've got a few excellent 3D platformers in which they gave Bowser his SMG persona and created Rosalina (which is a rather deep character for Mario standards), i now wonder if they have become skilled enough to pull a perfectly good new antagonist and final boss...
Yeah, they gave us crap bosses when we wanted K. Rool, but always give us Bowser when we want something new. We never win.
I wonder if they can make something new or original as well. It might be asking too much at this point.
I would love if said antagonist do get a Rosalina treatement (at first glance you'll think he is a generic card carrying villain and then you discover he has much more depth and characterization than what you originally through)
In fact it seem that the bosses here will get a bit of unique personalities (Wingo is a lover of shiny things and the dragon seem capable of kindness to the point of helping you)
That "No!" actually does a good job. I will go with the multitude of screaming "No!" from Invader Zim, myself.
Good point, Falcon Boy. The bosses do seem to have some creativity behind them so maybe we will be pleasantly surprised. I know this has the potential to ruin all our holidays though.
I think this game will have more plot and twists than a mainstream one, that's why i'm believing that the game will initially make you believe that Wingo is the main antagonist, only to reveal latter that she isn't and that you are only at the beggining of your adventure.
The difference with Dark Moon, though, is that they made it clear from the start who the main villain was, and who the final boss was going to be.
You mean you knew who shattered the Dark Moon from the start?! Wow.
Still skeptical, huh? You and Falcon Boy are right to be wary until you see the final boss. Even then, we would have to be wary of a "True" final boss appearing like in Yoshi's New Island. I totally get it.
I am just really positive that we are not going to get screwed this time. What would you say the chances are of Bowser appearing?

I'd say he has a 100% chance of appearing. This is Bowser we're talking about, after all. They've already proven that nowadays, they hardly need any real reason to add him into certain games, and do it just for the sake of doing it.

Personally i'm 50/50 on it, lack of emblems, different death screen, different characters shaping the plot and being a spin-off tell me there could be an original final boss but some koopa troop members and Bowser's recent track record tell me he's gonna be in it anyway.
I've never noticed but in the official artwork, Wingo's eyes are red, yet in the game screenshot her eyes are blue.
Error or something else ? (eyes color changing usually either mean that the character is using a form of power or is under the influence of someone/something else)
Could be the eyes change depending on emotion or something, like in the RPGs. Might be an early art direction they changed, No idea, really.
Wow, a 100% chance and a 50% chance. I am starting to even doubt his absence now. He does have the ability to warp through space and time, like some kind of Pokemon. I just hope this does not happen. I might be too hopeful. Funny, because I actually bought and played Yoshi's New Island and was burned by it. I cannot handle another!
Nope, King Boo is always the number one other villain in the Mario series in terms of quality games and interest. That is why I said this game needs a new villain to give Captain Toad his own rival and to start a new series like Luigi's Mansion did. Then the villain can start to appear more.

Possibly, she doesn't seem to have red eyes in her boss fight either (at least in the very few seconds preview)
Well she has red eyes in the boxart too...
Idk what it could mean...
But i do like the idea of a main antagonist in the shadows influencing/corrupting the bosses into doing evil things...
Well, it would do with the fact that the dragon helps out later on so maybe Captain Toad broke some spell over him. Like we said before, maybe there is some control over these bosses and then after they are defeated they help out later.

Notice on how you defeat the Dragon, you smash his head with a big rock which temporarily knock him, i guess it could support the brainwashing/control idea and smashing his head make him snap out
