On Tuesday for the Electronic [Entertainment] Expo, Nintendo announced new details on the much-anticipated [Super Smash Bros. Ultimate] for its Switch console. The 25-minute presentation was long on details. For one thing, the latest game includes every single playable character in the fighting-game franchise’s 19-year history. It seemed to exceed fan [expectations], except for fans of the meme-ready Waluigi.
His origin story is [unimpressive]. Waluigi is simply a bizarro version of Mario’s less famous but more charming brother Luigi. In his 18-year existence as a minor character, he’s had virtually no backstory. But that blank canvas ended up becoming Waluigi’s greatest gift. Since he stood for nothing, supporters could project their wildest hopes unto him, like Barack Obama in 2008 but actually good at golf. He can be described in a single website as anyone from a “true nowhere man” to “the logical end point of capitalism” and the “triumph of capital over creativity.” In other words, Waluigi became the perfect meme fodder.
Even children know that there’s something about Waluigi, something more than Nintendo seems fit to acknowledge.
Take “Ode to Waluigi,” a poem written by a Canadian fourth-grader in 2012. Sam Daly of Leo Nickerson Elementary, outside Edmonton, beat hundreds of other children to win first place in the national writing contest.

Maybe, just maybe, Waluigi’s fandom had memed so hard that Nintendo would have no choice but to recognize his true power.
