Luigi's Death Stare is an intimidating new meme, a recurring nightmare, and the cancer that is saving the Wii U, and thus preserving the Nintendo legacy as a whole.

With Microsoft's shooter games recently dominating the simple lives of average gaymers, all it took was one mean look from one familiar face to give the kid-friendly Nintendo platform some fresh, much-needed attention. Even media attention.

History

Luigi has been known to be foreshadowed by his brother in virtually all the Nintendo games featuring the two characters, and it was time to give the underdog another break. And this time, not in the failed sense of Luigi's Mansion.

The Japs in charge decided that Mario Kart 8 would be the perfect opportunity for that big break, and unknowingly created a viral monster that somehow got far more attention than it actually deserved, even going as far as being covered on Fox 5 news.

The OP

At the end of May 2014, some YouTube nobody picked up on the frightening glare and posted a video about it titled "Waluigi vs. Luigi," where the Green Gangster knocks out his subquality replica with a green shell and proceeds to stare him down as he rolls past him like a G.

As is always the case with the latest internet phenomenons, fanboys and nerds from all over the globe began creating remixes of the original video, including adding rap music in an attempt to make it look more deadly than it actually was.
