Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Old interview reveals why Wario and Waluigi don’t have girlfriends

Super Mario Broth has posted a scan from a 2000 Nintendo Power interview with Hiroyuki Takahashi and Syugo Takahashi of Camelot. In it, the two developers discussed why Wario and Waluigi don’t have female partners like Mario and Luigi have Peach and Daisy in Mario Tennis.

The Takahashi brothers explained how they wanted Luigi to have his own partner similar to Mario and Peach. However, Shigeru Miyamoto ended up suggesting Daisy. They also wanted Wario and Luigi to have girlfriends, but Miyamoto wasn’t interested.

Here’s the full excerpt of the Nintendo Power interview:

Heyyy that's mean, Miyamoto-sama! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all :(

I'm sure there would be r34 of them made either way though, that's the real threat here.



I always assumed they were a gay couple like Burt and Ernie

I thought they were brothers?

I thought so too but then someone told me no they're gay roommates. And I was like "whaaaat? noo."

Edit : I'm joking about Wario and Waluigi, but I have heard that about Burt and Ernie. I don't believe it though. They'll always be brothers to me!

Funny to read that Daisy wasn't popular in 2000, a few years later she was featured in tons of games.



An in-universe explanation would also be that Wario and Waluigi are extremely selfish, which would make them unattractive.



Because daisy and peach aren't really GFs of the brothers, so why have for W+W?



duduspace11 "Well, since we are estimating costs, Pokemon Red/Blue did cost Nintendo about $50m to make back in 1996"

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

How can one not fall for the embodiement of perfection that is Waluigi?



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

So, they do have girlfriends, it's just that they're too scary for us to handle?
