    Why do Nintendo hate Luigi?

    Nintendo have never treated Luigi the way he deserves, always coming in second place behind Mario, and more recently falling even further behind - all the way behind Wario and Waluigi.

    Case in point, take a look at the Mario Party 9 box art, which is also a little game I like to call "Spot the Luigi!":

    US Boxart: Can you find Luigi?
    US Boxart: Can you find Luigi?
    Japanese Boxart: Can you find Luigi here... (Hint: No, because he isn't on it!)
    Japanese Boxart: Can you find Luigi here... (Hint: No, because he isn't on it!)

    Is this really the treatment that Luigi deserves? Being left out on the Japanese Boxart and then just photoshopped into the background of the US Boxart? Is it? IS IT NINTENDO?!

    Poor Luigi - the forgotten hero of Nintendo, even forgotten by his own abusive parent - Nintendo.

    I think that is the point of Luigi, he is the bitch, he is supposed to be treated like shit. We all love him for it though.

    Exactly. For a long time he was nothing but a Mario clone. I think their idea of turning him into the whipping boy made him a much more appealing character. It's hilarious.

    Because Mario is a fascist cunt who can't handle the fact the Princess doesn't love him and that his brother is a better man.

    Seriously, Luigi is taller, has a better jump, has a less irritating voice, and he fights Bowser because it's the right thing to do, not just for the promise of some "cake".

    Fuck Mario.

    I'm just curious as to why the hell you Americans felt the need to add EVEN MORE COLOURS to that goddamn box which might as well be filled with LSD.

    Nintendo knows exactly what they're doing with Luigi.

    He's literally a Mario you're not sick of seeing. It's fucking genius.

    Even Waluigi is more prominent in that picture. And speaking of which, why didn't they call him Wuigi?
