"Waluigi: The Forgotten Character in Nintendo's 2023 Lineup"

In 2023, for the first time since his creation in 2000, Waluigi was absent from any Nintendo game releases, breaking a 22-year streak of appearances. This omission was noted by the Super Mario Wiki and has sparked comments from fans who have a cult-like appreciation for the character. Despite his popularity, Waligi has never starred in his own game, and fans are calling for Nintendo to rectify this by giving him a dedicated title, especially after the Waluigi-less year. Nintendo has been contacted for comments on this oversight.
