If Nintendo greenlit a Waluigi game, what kind of game would you want it to be?
- Thread starter oni-link
- Start date
Charles Martinet has described Waluigi as someone who thinks everyone else is out to get him and has cheated to be as successful as they are compared to him, so he feels the need to also cheat and be obnoxious to stay ahead and get back at the other cheaters. It would be great if there was a way to incorporate this into a game-play system. Maybe as people are saying, a game where Waluigi has to be stealthy, as he steals iconic items from other characters in the Mario universe as they sleep, as Waluigi believes if he has their stuff he'll be as well liked and successful as they are.
I could also see a Wario Bros game, where Wario plays as his traditional brute, while Waluigi plays more like Plague Knight, chucking explosives everywhere to solve all his problems. This could also create some great slapstick comedy.

Waluigi is like the textbook stereotypical mustache twirling sexual predator from the 19th century, so basically a creepier/sneakier mix of Leisure Suite Larry and Luigi's Mansion.
Waluigi just creeping in women's homes trying to spy on them and steal their undies. Possibly still using the Poltergust 3000 to blow up skirts or just vacuum off clothes entirely.

"Wario and Waluigi: Partners in Crime" is definitely something that someone throughout Nintendo's studios and affiliates must have pitched already. Make it a turn-based heist strategy rpg.
Four pitches:
1. One of those shop-owner games starring anime girls (I think it's Receatter--you know, the one with the meme about how it's really a super-intense business sim under the surface), except it would just be Waluigi, and he'd be like a baker or a grocer or something.
2. A point and click adventure game where Waluigi is, like, caught up in a hard-boiled detective story. He doesn't actually say anything other than the usual grunts, groans, and cackles (plus the occasional "Waluigi time!"), but all the other characters act as though he were doing a perfect Phillip Marlowe impression.
3. A "fugitive" sim where Waluigi has escaped prison and has to go on the road, living incognito and doing odd jobs to survive. At each location there is some treasure Waluigi has the option of attempting to steal, but the steps involved with stealing it increase his risk of being recognized and recaptured.
4. Blast Corps 2 starring Waluigi.

I think that's your fantasy dream where Nintendo start licensing their games out to Compile Heart
Side scrolling playformet in the vein of the 2D Wario games, with a similarly whacked out aesthetic/mechanics.
Well it's not a game I'd really want to play but it's just what comes to mind when I look at Waluigi cause it he creeps me out so much. Wario is just like this gruff, greedy, unpleasant guy, but Waluigi is actually legit unsettling.
Charles Martinet describes Waluigi as dastardly, but incompetent. To him, Waluigi doesn't play fair because he believes everybody is cheating but him. He is the kind of character who would have zero self-awareness as he fails upward towards something he doesn't even want.
This is why a Waluigi game needs to be an RPG. He would need to be thrust into something and succeed not on his own accord but by repeated fortunate accident. His motivation for doing things wouldn't be to rescue somebody or accomplish anything, but to "win" or have people actually like him for once. Waluigi isn't an evil character, he is selfish and myopic, but I truly think he means less harm than Wario.
You can read about all this and more in my 1,300 page biography, The Color Purple: Waluigi Doesn't Know There's Another Book Called The Color Purple and Insisted on This as the Title.

Either a RPG or 3D open world game, focusing on the villains of the Mario franchise, played from their perspective. Bowser, Wario and other villains playing a role as well. All the normal good guys would serve as enemies in the game.
There was a funny little inside joke on IGN boards back in 2003/2004 and it was called Waluigi's Taco Stand:
I vote that

I agree with ya. Touch up the controls during the airplane levels a little and make it a nice-looking 2.5D game, and I would believe Nintendo themselves made it.
It would be a pheonix wright rip-off with toads as the jury and Waluigi's nonsensical cross-examinations. Characters on trial would be other Nintendo characters(heroes) like Kirby, DK, Fox, Classic Megaman, etc.
Also he breaks wind in excitement over each of his objections. *Already pre-ordered*

I personally would love something between the french animations and Lazy Town's Robbie Rotten.
The genre really doesn't matter tbh. It could be a satire of the rpgs with some of action-based nintendo levels and some villainous humour.

No More Heroes style game where Waluigi needs to challenge and defeat the other Nintendo stars to become the number of Nintendo character.
Pls understand, I've been playing nonstop. It's all I have on the brain.
Wa-Luigi: Attorney at Law.
Throw in Bad Box Art Megaman as his assistant and you got an instant classic here.
A mini game collection of some kind, where he hangs out with the WarioWare cast while Wario is off doing other things like another Warioland game.
A sneak-em-up FPS like Thief. But with good lighting so you can always make out his lingering, elongated Nosferatu-like shadow.
He will also inappropriately, at any given moment because he can't help himself, make some loud 'eeeehhh' and 'waaaa' squeaks that will alert guards to his position and that the player will have to scramble around.

You come here, on this the day of my daughters wedding, and insult me with bad boxart megaman. I'm hurt, truly I am. His destiny was to be buried in shame.
