Rename Waluigi? Never gonna happen! pic.twitter.com/6SMy8fyAC2

Found it a tad amusing, though I do wonder whether changing his name would indeed make him a better character...

Why the hell did they want to rename Waluigi?
Is the name Waluigi not good enough for ya?

 

[Yikes Spike]

I think Waluigi's name was ahead of its time, his name is funny in an anti-humorous way, but at least they should change it in Russian and Greek language, for some reason he wears an upside down L.

What a surprise.

 

[BooDestroyer]

What made anyone think that they would even consider that?

i am very upset nintendo didn't take into account my cogent suggestion "Commander Violator"

 

[ShyGuyXXL]

His name is stupid, unoriginal and ridiculous.


It fits him well.

It's actually a very clever portmanteau. In Japanese. In English, it's just "Luigi" with "Wa" slapped on the beginning.

Still, even in japanese it basically just means bad luigi and that's all he is. And unless Nintendo does something with him that's all he'll ever be.

Oh, I agree. I just wish Nintendo actually did do something with him; I see plenty of potential in his characterization that's just not very well explored due to being relegated to spinoffs.
