{Rawrcade} This Luigi Death Stare Meme Might Just Save the Wii U

(Original post on Rawrcade)

This Italian plumber stare-down has trounced the net and slayed this author with ridiculousness over the past few days. Unless you've been living under a red shell recently, you know full-well that Luigi Death Stares has gone viral.

Since Mega Beardo first posted his YouTube video, it launched a meme that has garnered over 250 reddit submissions. It's so popular, one mashup featuring "Ridin'" by Chamillionaire is about to eclipse 3.5 MILLION views. Not only has #LuigiDeathStares been trending in certain locales, but the meme itself has given a glimmer of hope to resurrect a console that many claimed would be a major flop for Nintendo.

With the recent release of MARIO KART 8, the popular franchise has entered a world where Twitch and screenrecords can be turned into highlight reels for maximum LULZ. It seems the game designers knew this, and created some classic reactions to damage and one-upping a fellow racer. Many a savvy gamer knows the primal joy of drawing a Blue Spiked Turtle Shell from a translucent question mark block and eviscerating the competition in one fell swoop. So with MarioKart.tv you can upload and share your best moments online. Naturally, videos of pwning your friends would become prime submissions.

According to Cinema Blend, the game has already sold 1.2 Million Copies worldwide (as of June 2nd). We'd like to think the recent fervor over this meme has a hand in that. As of last quarter, the Wii U had only sold 310,000 units making a total of 6.17 million units sold. Nintendo could only hope to stumble onto a pot 'o gold such as this leading into a summer of many a multi-player video game seshes amongst competitive buddies.

I got the bug so badly myself that I decided to compile a supercut of the best YouTube mashups. Check it out!
