Does Waluigi deserve his own game/game series?

he needs to do something truly evil and luigi must save the world. He shouldn't be the protagonist but the main villain. Super luigi 3d land. make it play a bunch different to mario.

his motivation could be that he's sick of being an afterthought.

Where have you been OP? Any game that features Waluigi is officially a Waluigi game. Everybody else is just padding.

Fuck all the Waluigi haters, I would totally buy a game where you team up as Waluigi and Wario doing evil shit and trolling the denizens of the mushroom kingdom for shits and giggles.

Mr. Game and Watch, a character who represent the whole Game and Watch range, doesn't have a game? What are you on about?

How about that huge series of game and watches? He was in Game & Watch Gallery 4 also, but they don't seem to want to do much with that anymore.
 
To anyone who disagrees that Waluigi needs a game he has this to say:
"You're lousy"

They do just in a weird way. There are a few on DSiWare and then theres the club Nintendo gifts of Ball (the actual machine) and the DS collections (containing a whole 3 games each, THREE!)
 
Speaking of Wario being a game developer now, I would love if Nintendo had him star in a parody game like SEGAGAGA where you manage a company and play parodies of other games.

there should be a pokemon snap game with waluigi taking pictures of the various female super mario characters. maybe they're having like a sleep-over at princess peach's castle and waluigi is all stealth and shit

this is how I'm always going to to think of Waluigi now. acting like George McFly, dressed up in tree leaves/branches, peeping into bedroom windows.
 
Not before Bowser finally gets his own game, at long last. He's the last member of the "original" Mario cast who has yet to get his own title, after all.

Once Bowser gets his own RPG, then I'd be all for Waluigi getting his own Taco Stand or whatever the old joke was. :lol
 
Waluigi is such a bad character that we're struggling to even come up with a joke game idea for him. He should be relegated to being an npc in Animal Crossing.

and you can set traps (distractions and stuff) and you'll get more points for getting pictures of specific characters in specific attire in specific locations.

At the end of each stage you go to the cloud guy who holds the camera in super mario 64 and he develops your pictures and rates them for you. maybe there can be a economy element with selling photos and buying new equipment (tele lens, camouflage, etc)

Your photos get collected in your apartment (that you can customize like animal crossing) hanging on the walls (one wall per character).
 
This mother fucker better not get a game until we have three Luigi's Mansion titles, a Luigi-only platformer, and Paper Luigi.
 
Waluigi is a Luigi from an alternate timeline where he became twisted from decades of jealousy. He sent himself back in time to capture the glory he deserves. He made a pact with Wario for this reason, though it is only a matter of time before he disposes of him. His plan is to play Tennis.
 
Unfortunately no, but I'd love it if he got one.
He deserves a constant spot in the WarioWare games though (perhaps all Wario games and multiplayer Mario games too).

I can totally see a game featuring Luigi, Daisy and Waluigi as the unlikely hero trio saving the day.

He has more personality than, say, Daisy. But on-one ever screams for her to be taken out of the Mario Kart series.

Birdo and Waluigi should get their own games as vengeance for not being included in Mario Kart 7, and Daisy should be consigned to the dustbin where she belongs. She is not needed in a world where Peach and Rosalina exist

Daisy, unlike Waluigi, has appeared in a Mario platformer. She's valid, Waluigi isn't.

I'm assuming this is a joke of some kind?
 
Charles Martinet (voice of Mario and Waluigi among others) thinks he does. He suggests the essence of Waluigi is he "cheats to win" and he thinks that everything goes right for everyone except him. I think you could make a game for him based on that.

My idea

For example, create a game where you are Waluigi, you're in a castle with Daisy as your hostage and you're trying to stop Luigi from rescuing her. You can set traps, control baddies and generally slow Luigi down from rescuing her. Imagine using the UPad control goombas in batles, setting thwomps up, making a lava pit... but before Luigi plays through YOU have to to show that a level is beatable. You also only have a limited number of resources say and can send shy guys and others on missions (controlled by you) for more gold to buy more traps and create harder levels. Think of it like this: You start out with a hub, Daisy is tied, bound and gagged in one corner, in another is a shy guy, in another is a goomba (and a few others of course).

On the UPad is a map, you see Luigi's face and how far away he is. You can send shy guys to bother him or slow him down but you can ALSO send them to hunt for more gold to buy more enemies.

When you do this the map goes from the controller to TV. If you choose to harass Luigi you control shy guys and he's (for some reason) in a biplane, the goal is to shoot him down and he'll eject in a parachute with an L. If you fail he doesn't lose time and you lose gold. If you succeed he is slowed. Meanwhile, the Upad screen has the hub.

Second possibility, shy guys are going to steal gold. There is a village and you can enter homes, break things, and generally steal gold all while Fire Mario is shooting fire balls at you.

The Goombas are your troops, you can buy foot soldiers to essentially slow Luigi more, but also to place in the levels of your castle. The Castle itself is owned by you but there is also say a master of arms you have (I'm not sure who would be most suitable) who you go to for the level building mode. As I already said you must play any level you create for it to be playable. However long it takes YOU to get through is how long it takes Luigi.

I think you can kind of see where I'm going with that.
 
Tell you what.

I wouldn't mind Waluigi if he was stuck in some Warioland game... but only if we got to bring Mona, Jimmy T, and all the other Warioware characters that are actually good and just mesh them into one big Wario universe.
 
Waluigi is the best character in the Mario series (outside of Boo), of course he deserves his own game!

Hell, his character alone already writes his game for him. His game would be all about cheating to win! Hell, if it were a Wii U game, the person who plays as Waluigi would have the advantage by getting a private screen using the Wii U Tablet!
 
I've always thought if Waluigi ever got his own game, it should something like Sly Cooper. Not gameplay wise but Waluigi in the night of a town stealing gold coins.

Something like this

And Mario isn't? Mario is used in every kind of game because he has no real personality. He just saves Peach and screams "wahoo". He literally doesn't have any dimension to his character, and that's why it's so easy to make him play different kinds of roles. He's incredibly famous and recognizable, yes, but I wouldn't want to hang out with Mario if he was real or anything.

Wario/Waluigi on the other hand, are hilarious and I wouldn't mind going on some misadventures with those two.
 
If Tingle has his own game, Waluigi should too. Waluigi is so shitty it's kinda funny, Tingle is so shitty and creepy I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up in the middle of the night and see him at the foot of my bed, just staring at me.

But those wahoos are so infused with emotion and meaning, telling the tale of a life of endless killing and struggle. Every wahoo punctuates each muscle racking jump, every time he takes to the air more tiring than the last but he still stays strong enough to put every ounce of his little being into each yelp.

Or I was actually exaggerating for comic effect. Waluigi has the same issue as all of the Mario characters, he's little more than a blank slate. And I consider him to be just a cheap way of having a partner for Wario who's name actually has a clever double meaning.
 
everything about waluigi always cracked me up. such a weird character. I especially love that nintendo didn't even try to make his name flow the way wario's does. nope, just add a "wa" to luigi and call it a day

i'd buy a game starring him

Yeah, he's such a lazy, terrible character he's actually kinda funny. He's clearly only their to fill a space in the Mario sports games and all that stuff, that's his reason for existing, that's his purpose. He's such a tragic character.
