Does Waluigi deserve his own game/game series?

If it's as good as Wario's games then why not? I love Wario Land 1-3, Wario World and the Ware Ware series. I wasn't a big fan of Wario Land Shake It. Just kind of boring and routine.
 
I think so, honestly. One of the few main characters in the Mario series (which I love) who isn't super-childish & one dimensional.
 
I want a waluigi game where its just the most over the top metal gear solid and the story makes no sense whatsoever. Make it about clones and armies and governments in the mushroom kingdom. Just something to fuck up the Mario "canon". Shit would be hilarious.

Next year Nintendo will release Waluigi Kart, with one track and one character, to make up for their grievous mistake in MK7.

It will sell trillions.

But a game like this is already being made for Vita. That wouldn't fit Nintendos blue ocean strategy at all. I call fake on this rumor!
 
Sure why not.

Everyone gets one shot at it lol.

As long as it doesn't end up like this:

I greatly dislike this character. His name doesn't even make sense. The less I see him, the happier I am.

Sure it makes sense. It's got the same root as Wario's name and is actually a better pun. "Warui" is a Japanese word for wrong, bad, or wicked. The "gi" part of his name sounds pretty similar to the word jii, which means old man. So his name says he's a nasty old guy. Which he is.

As for a game with him in it, what would it be about? What does Waluigi like to do besides be rude? We know Wario's a glutton, but what is Waluigi? He's barely there as a character, even compared to the rest of the paper thin Mario cast.

Nobody knew what Mario liked to do until they started putting him in games that didn't involve saving Peach from something. Waluigi and Wario are both snide, greedy, comical characters. That's more than you can say from Mario, who's just a princess-rescuer who plays sports.

He's a cheat who loves to win at all costs.

You don't think the people who express a dislike for him are serious?

Not to the point where it's worth arguing over, no. It's not like he's some deep character with qualities worth debating. You either like him or don't for superficial reasons because theres nothing to him, much like the other Mario characters. Hence all the tongue in cheek responses in this thread.

Four pages and no Psycho Waluigi?

It's a fan game, but better than you probably expect:

First level on YouTube:

The mechanics work kind of like Kirby, in that you steal powers from other creatures, but also a bit like Yoshii's Island, in the way the targetting works.

Lurk mode, re-engage!

That looks great.

This and the Mario Tennis video need to be put in the OP and then we can call it a day.

Came to post this. Glad someone beat me to it... Waluigi Defense Force in full effect and none of them post Psycho Waluigi? You're slipping GAF...

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

Berordn said:
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.
Click to expand...

They do have the collections, but they aren't "his games", at least as I see it. They are always starring Mario & friends, with the old versions thrown in.

I don't think there was really a conception of a "Mr. Game & Watch" until Melee. In earlier days it was just a chef, sometimes mario & luigi, a fireman, etc. I'm talking about a game built around game & watch as a unique character.
 
No. Absolutely no. Even Luigi's Mansion was pushing it. How many variants of Mario do they really need? They have like five Mario clones, and three Peach clones.

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

That's because spamming "Hi, I'm Daisy!" after red shelling your friend to take the lead is the ultimate salt-in-wound dickmove.
 
True story:

I knew a girl in highschool who had some kind of sexual fixation with Waluigi. She was eccentric, potentially borderline autistic... in our drawing course she would proudly carry around and show off her binder filled with erotic Waluigi drawings. I recall once she wore a homemade shirt to class that read, 'Because Waluigi owns you... and me." I suspect she was working through some emotional turmoil and for whatever reason needed to channel it into a character. Because her condition was obvious to most, no one in our class ever attempted to broach the subject.

Since then I've never been able to see that character in the same light.
 
I liked Waluigi since day one.Wario always was my favourite character so when I saw Waluigi in Mario Tennis I thought "Awesome, genius!" I don't get the hate frankly.
Then again I thought Tingle was awesome too.(he is)

Waluigi is effectively an evil clone of Luigi, created so that Wario could have a doubles partner in Mario Tennis. And for the longest time, he was a shit character. However, he developed his own personality, becoming this hilariously pitiable, crotch chopping, cheating, Daisy-banging douchebag. He is the closest thing to a dudebro in the Mario universe.

I think he deserves his own game.

So what kind of game should he get? A pinball game, perhaps.

He is of course the stereotypical, old-timey, dastardly villain, so naturally a game starring him would consist of kidnapping damsels and tying them to train tracks. YES.

In other words, give him a game, now.

This thread delivers.
 
Waluigi should just replace Link. The Legend of Zelda is getting stale, and Waluigi would be the perfect addition to bring the franchise back to glory.
