Waluigi needs love too!!

[Gary's Ho-oh]

Hello my name is Gary's Ho-oh and I am a huge Waluigi fan. He is probably my most favorite video game character (tied with his brother Wario). But the problem is "Why doesn't he have his own game???"

If you think about it, he has only appeared in what I call, "Mario Multi-Player Games." To be sure, answer these questions:

Has there been a Wario Bros. Game?
Does Waluigi has his own game title?
Has there been a 1P game starring/featuring him?
Has Waluigi ever appear in the "Wario Ware Inc.: Mega Micro Game$" series?

If you answered no to all of these questions, then you are correct. So does anyone agree that Waluigi should have more freedom? I know I do!

Well as Luigi only got his own game not that long ago, Waluigi will most likely be pretty far down Nintendo's list of possible main characters.
Lets face it though, it will probably happen in the end.

Unfortunately, Waluigi was a kinda bad idea. It was creative to make a grouchy, greedy alter-ego for the dutiful and altruist Mario. Not to mention Wario has a backstory. Waluigi was just an add-on, with the mind set on giving Wario an "equal" in the Sports Series. It's still unconfirmed whether they're brothers, though it should be painfully obvious. Or not? After all, they're very different, whereas Mario and Luigi, while different, can be related to each other much easier...

Waluigi lacks backstory, and even character. I can just see him as a Wario wannabe. He doesn't seem to reverse Luigi's attitude at all. He doesn't even seem to click with Wario at all... he's just a demi-clone, per se. Most likely confined to those multiplayer games...

Still, maybe Nintendo will acknowledge him. Here's hoping. Wario is awesome, and Waluigi could be if they emphasize his treats and backstory more...

Waluigi's theme is causing pain and destruction for fun or for short likes to be a pain in the...well you get it. Nintendo are now associating him with the classic game Wrecking Crew and in recent games shows he's possibly a construction worker. (Which he probably is). Wario is greedy, lazy, and tough. While Waluigi is the sneaky, devious, and mean one of the bros.

If he were to get a game it probably relate to destruction (As his theme music from DDR MM was a remix from the Wrecking Crew) and perhaps construction. (He oddly is like Foreman Spike from that game a little along with the Mario Kart DS personal vehicle and laugh).

The problem with waluigi is that he lacks character delevelopment. I am a Waluigi fan myself, but he need to appear in a main game (Maybe he could be in the next Mario and Luigi with Wario as rivals), but he doesnt have a big enough fan base for his own game yet. If he appears in a main game, hopefully he will get more of a backstory and development, and maybe even a big fanbase. But only Nintendo knows what the future holds for him

OK. Here's why Waluigi doesn't get his own game.

He is merely a shell, not a real character. What I mean by that is it's painfully obvious he was created just to give Wario an equal and Luigi a rival in the sporting games. He has no backstory, he has no character, he has no individuality, he has no potential so he is highly unlikely to get his own game. He is just a strange blend of Wario and Luigi but there is nothing about him we can not find inside either of those two previously mentioned characters. He needs no game of his own unlike Luigi and Peach who had to wait painfully long to get their own. The only one left who really should even be considered for their own game is Bowser. However, he is the quintessential villain so who knows? Maybe it could be a standard Mario game but from Bowser's point of view or something like that.

Oh yeah, mention the possibility of a Daisy-centric game and I will slap you.

By your standards, Thirteen or so years is "Not that long ago"? Interesting... I suppose "Mario Is Missing" starred Bowser, then. =/

To those who say "Don't give Waluigi a Backstory because he's a shell", How the hell do you explain Wario? First Game he appeared in, he was little more than an antagonist that decided to hijack Mario's theme park (How Mario got it is beyond me) for no apparant reason. Now, we can tell he's a greedy, money making oaf that makes video games and owns more crap than one really needs, including a giant castle full of gold coins. Not much better, but hey, he suceeded in the American dream. *is shot*

Now, I'm not saying that Waluigi should get his own game right off the bat, I'm just saying he should be given more opportunity to develop his character. Personally, I would LOVE to see Waluigi's background revealed to us. =/

Actually, Luigi has had his game before Luigi's Mansion -- I believe it was called No Mario or something along those lines.

What you must remember with Waluigi was he wasn't actually created by Nintendo. He was created by a 2nd party developer creating one of the countless Mario Party or Mario Sport games and they felt they need an opposite to Luigi.
I've never been a big fan of him, myself.

Well, were it not for the advent of Mario sporting games, Waluigi would most likely have not been created. His first game was Mario Tennis and since then he has only ever appeared in the multiplayer games such as the sporting games, the party games, the racing games and a forgettable appearance in DDR with Mario. While he was originally made out to be the major villain of the game, Bowser ended up being the final tough boss to defeat.

Wario may have indeed come out of nowhere and had a backstory created for him but he was something new to the franchise. I like to think of Wario and Mario from a psychological point of view - they're sorta like two opposite parts to the same person if you understand me. Anyone who's read Othello should understand this. Wario appeared in a mainstream game however, which is something Waluigi has never acheived. Wario's debut was as the final boss character in SML2 and then in the next game he starred as the hero and his popularity was so much that he took over the SML games and made them into the Wario Land series. He has even gone so far as to appear in his very own game for the Gamecube. I understand the game did not acheive it's full potential (as it was too bloody short) but it's still a great game. Wario was something fresh in the franchise - acting upon his own personal greed rather than greed and malice such as Bowser, Wart and other villains. Waluigi on the other hand is merely a rehash of two characters we have known for many years and doesn't actually offer us anything new or exciting so what is there to work with?

Well, Wario wasn't a Shigeru Miyamoto creation like the majority of the main players in the Mario series but he's still gotten somewhere so that argument doesn't exactly hold with Waluigi.

Don't y'all misunderstand. I love Waluigi. He's hilarious and he's very fun to use in the games he's in. What I must stress however is his unoriginality and his lack of potential for growth.

 

[Gary's Ho-oh]

Well I guess noboby agrees with me

It is also a good idea to note that all the characters in the Mario franchise are intentionally made with very vague and even virtually non-existant backstories. (And information about the characters is often vague, simple and in some cases incoherant with other games in the franchise.) This was Nintendo's intention in order to keep the franchise as flexible as possible. If Waluigi gets a game, it will likely not be developed by Miyamoto, at the least.

 

[pikachu_rocks19]

Wario got his own 1p game i but waluigi did not...

 

[Gary's Ho-oh]

Ok everyone said no for him to have his own game. But what about being in a Wario Bros. Game or Wario Ware Inc. Games?

 

[≈*Virulent Tsunami*≈]

Waluigi needs a character before he gets hiw own game, because he's just an empty shell of an antagonist. But if he does become and actual person, I'd like to see him get his own game. He's a cool guy, no less than the other famous Mario characters.

I'd personally like a game where he double-crosses Wario in some way, just to prove he's a capable villain, but that's just me.

Finally, Somebody agrees with me!

Well, what Waluigi really need sat the moment is some abilities. A tthe moment, he can do nothing compaired to Wario/Mario/Luigi. He can only play tennis, golf, race etc. He also doesn't seem to have any motives. Wario wants power for himself and Bowser just wants Princess Peach (for reasons I just don't want to know) Give him a motive and some powers and I'll buy his game.

A Super Wario Bros. game would be good. Or even put Wairo and Waluigi in as unlockables in Super Mario Bros. Either way, I can see him working well with Wario in a 2 player game.

Also, I feel Waluigi shoudl've been put in the Wario Ware Inc. games. It's liek he's just been shunted to the side of the Wario universe whereas putting him in there would've made snese. It would've also given him some backstory, abilities etc.

Finally, I persoanlly feel they shoulg change his name. Waluigi is just wired. How about Gauigi as an upside down "L" is the symbol for the Greek letter "Gamma", although I bet Nintendo could come up with something better. I just think the name Waluigi is just a cheap rip-off wheras Wario makes sense.

So, give him a game, but make it original. Not another platformer. Maybe he could end up being a mercenary in the Mushroom Kingdom or something.

 

[Wes]

Waluigi does have a motive...just not a good one. He likes to cause destruction and make trouble. Basically be a big jerk to everyone.

 

[mrmimeykai]

wario was original and a unique idea that was very contempory at the time, waluigi is just a lanky man with an upside down 'L' on his head, he will get no-where and i will give anyone a slap if they say otherwise

 

[Tendo128]

Oh yeah! I love both of the Wario Bros (Waluigi in particular), but even Wario seems to be getting shafted as far as being in true adventure games (I'd opt to put Wario Ware in it's own category). Actually, Wario only played the role of a villain once (in the rather obscure Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins), EVER. I think that's a bit unfair to someone who's supposed to be Mario's rival.

That said, I'd love to see an RPG starring those lovably bumbling brothers, especially one made by Alphadream.

Well, to be fair Waluigi is just the English transliteration of the Japanese name which is a clever pun which makes sense in Japanese. Warui means bad or evil in Japanese and Ruiji is the direct romanisation of Luigi when written in the Japanese katakana alphabet. So, they just very simply combined the warui and ruiji, removed the extra rui and came up with Waruiji which, when transliterated in English becomes Waluigi.
