Is it just me or has the Bowsette trend started to die down lately? I mean, it's been about 5 years since the meme began and no trend lasts forever; but I've not been seeing nearly as much R34 of her lately compared to what I used to. It was great while it lasted, however now there's a new villainous Mario waifu in town - one that comes straight from a designer hired by Nintendo.

I'm not just talking about any designer here, I mean Fumihide Aoki, the man that gave us Waluigi. As a former designer for Camelot, a developer that's been creating golf and tennis-themed Mario spin-offs for Nintendo  since 1999, Aoki revealed recently he designed another "warui" (Japanese for evil) character to join Waluigi and Wario in Mario Power Tennis, released 19 years ago, that was ultimately scrapped by Nintendo. In a now-deleted Instagram post, he showed the world "Warupeach", or "Wapeach" for the very first time, with concept art and a full 3D model.

She may look younger, cuter, and less well-endowed than her good counterpart, but Aoki was onto something with the big goth boots and skintight latex dress. The ax shows she could have a violent, possibly kinky side to her, too. That outfit doesn't look very comfortable for tennis, but fans have taken a liking to her, even if Nintendo didn't. Of course, that means the R34 was inevitable, as it always is.

It's unlikely Wapeach will ever make a canonical appearance in an official Nintendo game, but at least the fans can have fun with her. What do you guys think of her? Could she be the next Bowsette? Sound off below!
