It’s Saturday. E3 is over. Yet, I still cannot stop thinking about how Nintendo treats Waluigi.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was announced with the tagline “Everyone Is Here”. Kotaku previously posted how the internet reacted, but the sentiment that continues to linger is that 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”

I hope that snubbing him so thoroughly was to make it more exciting when he’s eventually revealed.
Like if he’s never shown at all, then a day one update makes him the first character to be unlocked.
Here’s my pitch for a Waluigi game (he needs to be marketed better): Waluigi’s Manson.
It’s like Luigi’s Mansion except you actually break into a Toad mansion, murder the residents and turn them into Boos that push Luigi back.
Never mind about Waluigi, DK had about 100 relatives sitting around doing nothing why aren’t they in Smash!
Fuck you none of the above I want really want Waluigi to be playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and this is how you treat us Nintendo?!
It’s already got Captain Falcon, do we need another nobody just because of a stupid meme?
Captain Falcon is actually a unique character. What?
Poor Waluigi, he even missed out on Monopoly Gamer Edition.
