Forums - Nintendo Discussion - So, is Waluigi the worst Nintendo character?

 

Waluigi...

Terrible character 67 100.00%
 
Total:67

The Wario games are one of my favorite Nintendo games, Wario Land for example.

Waluigi just need his own game, something like having multiple costumes as his defining character maybe something like Point and Click game where he visits Noire and Ancient Egypt and try to solve puzzles, something that fits his chaotic character and not Warioware, something like Tales of Monkey Island, or another game where he changes his outfit to gain powers.

wario's name isn't just putting the M upside down. it's short for warui mario (bad mario). the same goes for waluigi, wich gets the full "bad" word on his name (waruigi).



I like him. You've just got a ban pic there.



"These are the highest quality pixels that anybody has seen"

I don't follow Mario titles terribly closely, but has Waluigi ever appeared outside of spin-off or sport titles? It seems to me that he's characterized equally poorly as Daisy, the Babies, or the Toad characters (as in, not at all), and his design is certainly more interesting than any of them.

Honestly though, I'm surprised he's important enough to get his own thread.

Everything is terrible about Waluigi, not the least of which is his name. The whole point of Wario's name was that it was a play on Mario when you flip the M upside down. For an anti-Luigi character to make sense it would have to be the same, so if you flipped the L it would look like a lower case r, making the character ruigi, which sounds a heckuvalot better than Waluigi.

In fact its kind of funny because it sounds like an Asian trying to pronounce Luigi in "Engrish" haha.

Yeah, probably.

I get the whole "warui" thing (which means "bad" in Japan) but it just works better for Wario (bad Mario) and flipping the "M" to a "W" is somewhat clever. Frankly, Waluigi is just unnecessary and unimaginative (not to mention lame). We don't need a "bad" Luigi.

Definitely not. I think he has the potential to be a good character, hes got a really creepy villain look to him, but is just really under utilized.


He reminds me of Dick Dastardly


YES. exactly my thinking.

His name actually only makes sense in japan where "Warui" essentially means bad. So he is literally bad luigi.

That title belongs to Fledge from Skyward Sword. Seriously, that was like a high school drama with Zelda, Link, Groose, and Fledge!

Zelda - The girl
Link - The guy that likes the girl
Groose - The bully/jock that also likes the girl
Fledge - The weak nerdy guy

Deal with it.


Nah, that title goes solely to Luigi simply because of his epic theme!
