It’s early Friday morning. E3 is over. Yet, I still cannot stop thinking about how Nintendo treats Waluigi.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimatewas announced with the tagline “Everyone Is Here.” Kotaku previously posted how the internet reacted, but the one that continues to linger is how Waluigi has been wronged. Again.
Now, Waluigi is in the game, but as an assist and that is so sad

Waluigi deserves better than this, Nintendo!

But Nintendo keeps disrespecting him. It’s so cruel

Maybe Nintendo is disrespecting Waluigi so bad repeatedly in an attempt to throw us all off, only for them to later reveal that we was going to be in the game the whole time. I can pray I guess. @NintendoAmerica #justiceforwaluigi #Justice4Waluigi #Waluigi pic.twitter.com/D4Kh1QamjS

Perhaps there is a better reason for this.
Waluigi is a lover, not a fighter.

Postscript.
i waited side-by-side for an up elevator in a lobby next to masahiro sakurai earlier this evening. for the first time in history, two elevators arrived simultaneously. he took the one on the left. thus i missed my chance to elevator-pitch him the single word “waluigi”
