Ten years of domination at the net: it’s Waluigi’s birthday

July 1, 2010 News 1 Comment

It’s hard to believe, but this August will mark the tenth birthday of one of gaming’s most iconic figures. It was back in August of 2000 that Camelot and Nintendo released Mario Tennis for the N64, the first game to include the nefarious purple one. That is, of course, when everything changed.

His beginnings were humble, starting as a mere partner for Wario in that first game, but Waluigi has become a vital part of the Mario universe. This lanky, awkward looking potential rapist has shown up in everything from Mario Party to DDR: Mario Mix since his debut, and the world is truly better for it.

If only Charles Martinet would get his way, and Waluigi could finally land that starring role he’s so deserving of.
