It is somehow strange but the domain www.waluigi.com ia a registered domain and it is linked to the official Nintendo website.
Does anyone know anything about this????

Maybe a Waluigi game?

Maybr it's a fan site voicing their opinion on Waluigi's name.

No, I'm quite certain it's Nintendo buying a domain so that people are redirected to their site after entering in one of their character names. I'm sure that if they had the chance, they would buy other domains with their primary character names and redirect them to the main site.

Waluigi.com was also listed as a Nintendo site in the old NP magazines.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

When Mario Tennis 64 was released it had its site (mariotennis.com) and you can get to Waluigi.com there and it was just mostly about Waluigi during Mario Tennis

I logged into Nintendo.com then refreshed Waluigi.com and was not logged in there.  It could be that someone is using it to harvest Nintendo usernames and passwords.

I haven't check the sites whois info yet, and therefore don't know who owns it.

I checked http://www.waybackmachine.org/ and found that it was a site used to market Mario Tennis for the N64.

I don't really get it...

What could they possibly have in a Waluigi website?

Games he appeared in....

A bullcrap story of his history with Wario..

And NOTHING ELSE?
