I believe it because he probably just can't do the voice anymore. Man's almost 70, most VA's lose their range sooner than that.
I literally met him at GamesDoneQuick he was doing the voice the entire time
Go to any of his conventions and he's doing the voice perfectly
>I literally met him at GamesDoneQuick

FRICK I MET TOOMANYGAMES
I always get the names confused but yeah this is kinda bullshit as he was literally doing the Mario voice perfectly the entire time
Nintendo's twitter is right fricking there in the OP
cope
so long gay bowser
cancel culture strikes again...... sad day
The irony is Nintendo likely canned him because he's gay and has been found on hookup sights soliciting sex with young guys. He probably got a massive retirement bonus just so he won't sue, but Nintendo is way too conservative to allow a gay man to voice their primary mascot
wtf I love Nintendo now
>been known about for almost a decade now.
Why do zoomers think apolitical means conservative?
That’s what it means in 2023
No it isn't.
the country is divided up between people that are pissing and shitting their pants, and people who just wanna grill
anyone found not pissing and shitting their pants is somehow guilty of benefitting from the (supposed) plight of those that are pissing and shitting their pants
>Being gay is political
it unironically is. If you don't agree with their lifestyle they will try to ruin you from whatever means necessary.
JK Rowling hates trannies and since she's virtually untouchable the people below her desperately find other ways to chip at her.

Why would you? You're just a piece of shit at that point.

I mean, it's inherently about making a choice to do something that you're told not to do in order to mock something those people hold sacred. Too bad about the illnesses though. It's almost as if you're not supposed to combine your most sensitive area with someone else's most filthy!

kek this anon caught them hard
Kek, this anon is same gayging
so what if I did?
I'm trans btw
>I'm trans even doe I still have my dick
The reason it's interpreted that way is because being "apolitical" implies that that you're fine with the status quo, which could be interpreted as conservative. Now, I think the political spectrum is a meme that people put too much weight on, but I'd never be caught calling myself apolitical. It's quite frankly an embarrassing stance to take and shows that you lack some serious knowledge and/or are moronic.
Mario is fricking gay? Hahahah

Except that OP post says that he will still be working for Nintendo as a brand ambassador for Mario, so how the frick would that make sense? This would damage Nintendo's rep even more than if he were a VA.
Good bait though, lot of morons in reply.
Bye bi!
??? Charles isn't gay
>Perfect Mario voice actor isn’t slightly effeminate sounding

Mario does not sound feminine what the frick
He is the one who made Mario sound identical to Mickey Mouse. Just with-a more-a Italian-a accent-a.
>The irony is Nintendo likely canned him because he's gay and has been found on hookup sights soliciting sex with young guys. He probably got a massive retirement bonus just so he won't sue, but Nintendo is way too conservative to allow a gay man to voice their primary mascot
You're a moron. Nintendo are now going to be paying him as Mario Ambassador literally to go around conventions around the world and interact with Mario fans. He won't even need to VA for a living any more so he'd literally have more contact with fans than ever before under Nintendo's employment.
Ambassador just sounds like a bullshit title that doesn't do anything and barely gets pay. They'll use him to promote a couple things a year and be done with him.
I’m disappointed in all the anons who gave this blatant bait way too much attention
>expecting anything more from Ganker
>schizos
It's not that hard to tell voices apart
job title: mario ambassador
Mario…..Ambassador? So, is he training new VAs in the way of the plumber?
He'll be negotiating the extradition/execution of people who breach IP law.
If you make fan games featuring nintendo content one day you'll get a knock on your door , and you'll hear "it's a me"
It'll be the last thing you hear.
>the video where Mario steals your liver is real now
Just checked his Wikipedia page to see if they updated it yet and just learned this:
>In 2013, Martinet was evicted from his home in Sausalito following a legal dispute with the family of the recently deceased landlord. Dissastified with other homes in his pay range, Martinet remained homeless for the next 5 years
Nintendo was paying this man a literal pittance, refused giving him a role where he would actually make good money, and then fired him when he complained.
>Dissastified with other homes in his pay range, Martinet remained homeless for the next 5 years
What does this even mean
That doesn't mean he can't afford it. It sounds like he voluntarily became homeless because he thought he deserved better
In Sausalito.
>Sausalito
am I suppose to know where that is
Yes
Average rent for a one bedroom there is 3k.
It means that every home in California, where one had to live to be a voice actor before recent times, is either an absurdly expensive palace or a literal ghetto slum.
So, he was living in the streets for five years and Ninty occasionally dragged him into the recording booth from the streets?
They didn’t even pay him, just gave him some company coffee and one of those gas station sandwiches. When you’re a homeless bum like mario, you got to take what you can get.
He was doing a lot of traveling around the globe during those years based on his Twitter posts and social media stuff, he might have been staying at hotels and stuff for extended periods without a permanent address?
Apparently most voice actors make more money by charging for autographs or pictures at conventions than they do from voice acting. A lot of then have to just hop from convention to convention just to make a living, with them occasionally doing actual recording.
Unless you get some role for a series that will never end it's often better to get a ton of different roles than one big job
Famous dubbers charge insane amounts for each line of text. In spain the dubbers for famous actors are well off, and i doubt charles "had" to go around soliciting money from smelly nerds in conventioms being the most reconisable voice in videogames.
BotW VAs got paid like 2k-3k each, the Bayo VA who wanted more money turned down 15k which was an insane offer, so much so that Jennifer Hale who's a pro union activist took the offer in a heartbeat, and that's for an entire game. Martinet was absolutely not getting five figures just to come in a booth and say its-a me, and Mario games don't happen often enough that he could live off of that alone. He absolutely had to have other sources of income.
I saw him at TooManyGames 2023 in PA. He was the last voice actor to stick around doing autographs and photos. The guy was making bank. He had a line going hours and hours after setting up. $120 per person. Dude also seemed kind of unhinged and out there. I mean I get it, voicing a character like Mario for that long and embracing it fully to syphon money from fans, it has to seep into your persona who you are. But there was something wild and off about him. Made me uneasy. I think he might genuinely have mental problems, or maybe health ones. I wouldn't be surprised if something else turned up in the coming months about him.
he's literally me
>But there was something wild and off about him. Made me uneasy.
this is so fricking funny to me im just imagining this old dude making mario noises and then some neckbeard being absolutely terrified watching from a distance
I feel the same way. He's a little wacky, but seems like a nice guy.
>$120 per person.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Mario is so popular that Nintendo could get easily get some tendie manchild to voice the character for free.
Correct, for lesser known actors it might have been risky, but mario is probably the most well known character on the planet behind disney mascots.
Depends. I know voice acting in the US is basically controlled by the union and you have to kiss ass to get any of the decent roles, that's why every AAA game has the same two or three voice actors e.g. Troy Baker, Nolan North, Steve Blum, etc.
I remember that massive homosexual Troy Baker joked about if someone is looking to get into voice acting they should wait for him to die but he was probably being serious.
Also from Wikipedia:
>He currently resides in the Netherlands with his partner.
Well that's sweet. The last I heard he was single.
>partner
He’s gay
Or a cow boy
no straight people use that term now because they want to be inclusive to enbies
why should we be inclusive to enbies when you can use reshade?
Bullshit I met him at a con in Canada in 2014.
We were just saying in this thread that voice actors travel around a lot because they can make more money at cons than they do from actual recording.
Being homeless doesn't mean you live in a cardboard box. It just means you have no homes.
>Nintendo was paying this man a literal pittance
Headcanon.
>refused giving him a role where he would actually make good money
He had two roles in the movie.
>and then fired him when he complained
If you had bothered to read the OP of the thread you're posting in you'd see that he still works for them. In fact whatever being a Mario Ambassador entails, it's probably more involved than just being a voice actor.
>We have a message for fans of the Mushroom Kingdom. Please take a look.

He did ok in the movie
I don't see why he shouldn't keep being the voice of mario
I agree, but switching from pasta Mario to Brooklyn Mario in the games would imply he's just been doing an Italian stereotype for 25 years.
Well for one I doubt dragging an A-tier celeb into a recording booth to do a few bing-bing wahoo lines a few times a years on the drop of a hat would be worth it considering it's such a generic voice.
It's entirely possible they're doing a LoZ and doing full voice actig for all characters. I'm certain Jack Black would definitely agree to stay as Bowser, and whoever's dping Peach can be easily replaced. Pratt already has enough "infamy" with the hollywood crowd that doing this as a back up doesn't sound far fetches, and if you're going to voice a character, why not the most famous one in all of vidya?
>I don't see why he shouldn't keep being the voice of mario
I do and Nintendo probably sees it as well. He cost too much to be brought on board for every non movie projects
>He did ok in the movie
>I don't see why he shouldn't keep being the voice of mario
Because he'd be way too busy and it would probably cost more for Chris Pratt to voice 1 game, than it cost to have Martinet voice Mario for 27 years.
Holy moron

>mario now joining the ranks of kermit the frog where the character will always sound wrong and moronic from now on and young people will eventually have no idea what you're complaining about
Mario already sounded horrible in the Wii U era
If anything the replacement will be a significant improvement
You guys ever played New Super Mario Bros Wii? I swear whenever he said "mario time" when you finished a stage he sounded BORED OUT OF HIS FRICKING SKULL saying it. He's long been out of it.
Nothing can top Galaxy's limp dick "weeee" for the long jump
We're getting old.
Same thing happened with Mickey Mouse, too. It's incredibly jarring. Can't wait to see what it sounds like when they have to replace Goofy!
This. Actually, I'll go a step further and say Martinet stopped doing a good Mario after N64, he got too shrill.
I think it's right at Galaxy where he became shit
>Mfw there will probably be a time decades for now where someone will call you racist for liking Martinet's Mario voice and there will actually be negative consequences for it
>Mfw doing an impression of the old Mario voice will probably have similar consequences as well
This didn't happen with any other Mario voice, you worrywort schizo
Demolition Man was dead on point in predicting the future. Better start enjoying Taco Bell.
I hate time
How do we stop time Ganker
Ok but why do you as a grown man even care about what mario sounds like?
I want my children to experience mario in a good way and not a shitty cheap way
Then don't let them play Mario games after the GameCube because his voice got so shit they started recycling old lines.
Galaxy had new lines and games as recent Odyssey have new voices.
and he sounded awful in both
Wonder if they have enough voice samples to just use those instead?
Yoshi uses the same samples since the 90s
They can make a flight sim with him guiding you through the start-up procedure just using the early Martinet era clips, I thinkt the bings, bongs and wahoos aren't running out anytime soon as the clip library is so huge an AI can't actually frick it up.
Eh, games have been reusing Mario's voice since the Gamecube days. Nothing's gonna change.
I think this is unnecessary for a couple reasons, the first being that just getting him in the booth for one day would provide enough material to voice his characters for a couple goddamn decades. Mario characters don't speak and reuse voicelines between games as it is.
I remember when Super Mario Wonder trailer came out, people said Mario's voice sound weird. So they were correct
>since Mario 64
That isn't even accurate, what the frick?
"Since Mario's game gallery, the game No one played or gives a frick about" doesn't sound as good. You're autistic.

>moron takes screenshot and say schizo nonsense
I really hate tertiaries asking chat GPT to post in their name
from all of this, all I learned was that at some point mario was homeless and he's also gay.
no, he fricked Peach in Super Hornio Brothers
BEHOLD the new voice of Mario
imagine a balding middle age man unironically having that voice.
Sml bros… we won!
>people are already talking about using an AI voice for the characters
So why is it that when multi-billion dollar companies use AI to make money, nobody cares, but when an average joe uses it for fun, everyone loses their shit?
company good indies bad
People are talking about it because they expect Nintendo to act without any moral compass the same way they react to fan content
>Zoomers crying about Bing Bing wahoo voice not being Mario anymore
Captain Lou is the one and true Mario.
>Captain Lou is the one and true Mario.
Toru Furuya is the true one. He's the first voice Mario ever had (not counting licensed show "saturday supercade") and even voiced him in at least one of the satellaview games. He was the official voice until they chose Martinet.
Ching Chong. Mario is an Italian-American from Brooklin. He ain't some slimy Jap.
Honestly yeah
>Sacked
Bro hes old as frick, let him rest already.
Have you seen Marge's VA? I legit feel bad for her.
THIS ISNT FRICKING FAIR!!!
I've grown up with media from the 20th century and here in the 21st century it's just rehashes of THAT century! It fricking sucks that I was born in 1998 so everyone who made the 20th century kino is withering away around me and all thats left is homos who shit all over it for soulless corpo funding and political pandering!
What hapened to her who voiced Marge?
i don't remember her name and i don't care much for simpsons but i've heard clips here and there of just how gravelly it is in modern day just because of the nature of that type of voice and doing it for as long as she has
He's talking about how Marge's voice is so fricking destroyed in present day. The VA clearly destroyed their vocals voicing her for so long.
She's old and doing that type of voice for years isn't good

He didn’t want to rest he still wanted to continue but Nintendo told him it’s time to frick off
Proof?
Maybe he's retiring from voice acting
I can't believe Chris Pratt executed Charles in front of a live studio audience then claimed the Mario role for himself.
RIP Paarthurnax (4E 1996 - 4E 2023)
you're next Miyamoto
So they ditched him because of AI, right? Why pay him ten trillion dollars every time he says "WAHOO" when you can just conjure up a fricking carbon copy of his voice practically free?
Did the voice in Wonder sound like AI at all?
We don't know if charles did the voice for wonder or not. He could have recorded all of those lines months ago.

I would legitimately be ecstatic about this. If we can't have Martinet, then I'd prefer a change to his gruff Brooklyn Super Show voice over a Martinet imitator. De-Mickyfy Mario please. No offense to Martinet, he was great.
Chris Pratt
ME!
https://vocaroo.com/1ezjdGAMBoSc
Right now there's no confirmation he's being replaced. There's enough archived Bing Bing noises they don't really need to, and if AI's legal issues get cleared up then they can just use that forever.
Mario clearly has a different voice in the Wonder trailer. People already speculated about this when the trailer dropped.
the same person playing mario in this trailer
I want Mario to have a thick as all hell Brooklinen accent again.

Vinny can only do the super show voice Brooklyn voice anyways, his actual mario voice is not very good.
>can only do the super show voice Brooklyn voice anyways
That's the best Mario voice.
Jerma.
They aren't gonna let a serial killer voice a kids character.
I just met him last weekend at a con, one of the nicest people I’ve met at these events and gave me some good tips with voice acting.
I’m pretty bummed out by this since he seems so passionate about playing Mario and the gang but I hope he enjoys retirement. Absolute gem of a man.
Every time I've seen him make appearances it's so obvious he fricking loves all his roles. If they ever make a new Mario & Luigi, it's gonna be weird because I don't think anyone can do that faux Italian noise-salad better than him. Mario and the rest (well especially Mario) is probably going to be fine though. Whatever they end up doing with the VA, I'm confident they're aware of the stakes if they frick it up.
>If they ever make a new Mario & Luigi
really doesnt take a schizo to realize you fricking mong
Sticky status???
when Charles kicks the bucket I guess
Are they going to go back to giving Mario a Brooklyn accent since the movie turned out to be a big hit?
>tfw comparing his THANK YOU SO MUCH-A from 64 and Odyssey shows how old and tired he is
For me it was Luigi's Mansion 3. Luigi just sounds fricking done that entire game.
His voice in 64 actually had a powerful resonance to it and actually got deep (relatively speaking) on certain lines. Since galaxy he's been flimsy and frail.

And I still keep up with mario games I plan to buy wonder
Finally Mario will be properly voiced by a black italian man from saudi arabia
I did think Mario sounded a bit crusty since Brawl, wonder who the guy/guys are.
why does mario say "thank you so much for to playing my game"
why does he say "to"
I think he's probably just old and wants less work
>probably
Isn't he 70?
They are going to AI his voice.
I was one of those who just thought Martinet sounded different in his new recordings for mario wonder and warioware. I dont like how its just people doing an impression of him; as others are stating, they should just drop bing bing wahoo if Martinet is going too.
>warioware
That was the direct announcer. It's not in the Japanese one.
schizo is just another word for psychic at this point.
can we get some becky the sexo in this thread too?
So long old frick. Prattlads were we at?
The Mario I grew up with spoke in a Brooklyn accent.
I've never had anything against Martinet, but the people acting as if the one and only definitive Mario voice are annoying.
WE'RE BEING REPLACED
Isn't he like 70+ years old? No one lives forever, and they're probably cloning his voice with AI.
Kinda shocking. Didn’t Charles recently said in an interview he wanted to voice Super Mario until he died, surprised that he’s quitting before then.
Nintendo got mad.
Yeah, it was only 2 years ago. I'm starting to wonder if he's actually privately ill.
Either he's sick as frick or Nintendo wants to shift to AI or hire a cheaper VA. Him being sick, which is objectively the worst outcome and I hope it's not the case, is the best for games because it means Nintendo is dead otherwise. They sacrificed their games soul for money.
>cheaper VA.
Kind of doubtful. Nintendo recorded new Mario audio for most of their games, they were clearly willing to shell out the cash because the brand was that important to them. Sakurai reusing the same clips across three games was very atypical. It also probably wasn't THAT expensive even with how contracts or union shit works. Martinet may only be worth a few million at most.
Martinet is a nice guy
But are we really all going to pretend that doing the Mario voices is hard? Thousands of people can do those voices and sound pretty much the exact same.
Being the Mario voice actor is the equivalent of winning the lottery.
WHERE THE FRICK IS THE STICKY?
MOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDSSSSS
Dude, he didn't fricking die
He will soon.
is that a threat?
A prognosis.
Well, he said he wanted to do Mario until the day he died so... I'm starting to get worried
It was a crime to take the role from Ron Jeremy in the first place.
you know what I can't actually tell from this statement what actually happened, did he just decide to retire from gig or did some negotiations fall through and nintendo offered him this mario ambassador role to keep doing what he's basically been doing as some consolation or something? well at least the fact we're getting a video with him and miyamoto makes it seem like they're on at least amicable terms
He said he'd keep doing the Mario voice, but it's obvious he can't hit that peak Mario energy anymore. Even Luigi and Wario sound off. Better he go out with some dignity.
huh? he hasn't really sounded all that different to me
ENTER
Mario
Merio?
I think it's time for Mario himself to retire and for the new generation to step in.
is that young Sponge?
I'd probably retire too if I had bone growing out of my shoulder like that.
Can Nintendo even afford to keep hiring Pratt to voice Mario all the time
Can he afford to refuse?
Look I know Nintendo has a lot of money
But Pratt is fricking huge, I imagine he ain't cheep to hire
I fricking knew it. Chris Pratt IS Mario.
Mario if he mute
Regardless of whatever schizo, doomer shit Ganker says, Charles is beloved and I'm gonna miss him. He's voiced Mario for pretty much my entire life and not hearing his voice is gonna be weird and upsetting for a while.
>Thank you so much for playing my game!

Mario if he steel
Bruh he hasn't worked for more than a decade. Nintendo has recycled his voice clips for every game since Mario 64.
>literally did new voices for every 3D Mario game even down to lines for new types of pasta Mario dreams about
>GameCube era had him doing full dialogue
NSMB and most of the Wii U era spinoffs recycled clips
>GameCube era had him doing full dialogue
Got any clips of that? Never played Sunshine.
Do Mario games really need fifty different variations of wahoo and cartoon screams?
Hearing the same voice clip every time you jump would get annoying even faster
They will replace him with AI
>what do you mean no new wahoos, every wahoo needs to be unique
just use the wahoos from 1996
Hrs old, how is going to do the voice anymore
I thought the Japanese thing was once you retire a VA or they die you just make the character mute for life?
Why is that not happening here?
the japanese are not a monolith
You expect me to believe that?
>99% homogeneous society
>not a monolith
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
my dad works for nintendo
Bulma from dragon ball had a new VA after the og died.
Name 5 examples of that happening
Do you really think when babagoku dies they wont just replace her
That's a thing done out of respect, but not the norm. Not to mention Charles isn't fricking Japanese.
Charles Martinet is not a Japanese voice. Western voice acting culture is very different. Also the Mario brand has always been very western conscious, starting from the original Donkey Kong arcade release, so I highly doubt Nintendo will ever care about that
>Charles Martinet is not a Japanese voice.
Because there is no Japanese voice for Mario, outside of like old cartoons and dubbing the mario movie.
>I thought the Japanese thing was once you retire a VA or they die you just make the character mute for life?
>Why is that not happening here?
Nintendo aren't that stupid
They ARE that stupid not just that kind of stupid.
That's happened before, but it's not the usual tradition. They'll usually recast if they HAVE to, but they try and keep the original actor at all costs.
Jap VAs will usually keep reprising roles even after they've mostly retired but it's not universal
It's not like it's a law or anything. It'd be stupid to do something like that for a character as huge as Mario.
>leave voicing Mario to me
Way better than that Young Yea homosexual.
Who did he voice that he thinks he's hot shit?
Ganondorf
AI strikes again!
Does Mario even talk in complete sentences? Imagine traveling around the world to utter some wahoo. Why does anyone even care about Mario's voice at all?
CONGRATS TO CHRIST PRATT
You change the voice after 27 years you might lose that hypnotic BingBingWahoo that's kept us all in psychosis all this time.
Imagine a generation of sleeper agents coming to Winter Soilder style.
New voice has all ready been decided.
i would buy a switch just to support his game
Martinet had too high pitched of a Mario voice, it worked for Perfect Mario. Martinet is the voice of Perfect Mario and we are fed up with that one. We want just Good Mario back, the one from Brooklyn.
Not you.

Reminder Iwata has died, Reggie has stepped down as president of NoA and now Charles isn't going to voice Mario and you all had it happen in your timeline. Do we have anyone noteworthy next besides Miyamoto?
Takahasha, Tezuka, Koizumi, Aonuma e.t.c
>He Forgot Sakurai
He didn't he's already retired in a sense.
He is more of a freelancer than a Nintendo employee.
Sora Ltd. is literally just himself and his wife, they're freelancers
aonuma is nearly on the same level as miyamoto
Aonuma isn't even on the same level as Koizumi, let alone Miyamoto
Miyamoto is the reason Mario games have stagnated, it's been the same platformer with one (1) mildly interesting gimmick since Sunshine. Hopefully they bring in someone new to shake up the formula.
>Do we have anyone noteworthy next besides Miyamoto?
We'd still have Sakurai.
>nintendo got progressively better as these events occurred
curious
>Reminder Iwata has died, Reggie has stepped down as president of NoA and now Charles isn't going to voice Mario and you all had it happen in your timeline. Do we have anyone noteworthy next besides Miyamoto?
Tanabe
I'd be filled with so much bliss if Tanabe stepped down or was gone.
wtf, strawberry cat
That'd be worth celebrating.
Masahiro Sakurai & Koji Kondo
Reggie was a religious brained censoring moron. No one cares about Reggie and has any idea what they're talking about.
Some of the best games only got through because someone went around him and made a deal anyway.
There's easily a 99.9999% chance that he quit because NCL finally told him to let the breasts flow and wouldn't take no for an answer.
Game? Please now
Labyrinth of Refrain. It's DRPG ludo.
Based source Chads. Thank you
Labyrinth of Refrain.
Also Sakurai is retired from making games
Good.
Reminder that Iwata and Reggie were responsible for a ton of moronic decisions
Tezuka and Koizumi are the next big ones. Maybe Sakamoto too.
Koizumi will probably be around for a long while but I'm worried about Tezuka.
I HOPE Miyamoto fricks off, he's the reason the franchise is so fricking stale with his "no story, only game" approach that nobody dares challenge him on due to the old 'respect your elders' shit Japan has.
Miyamoto hasn't been involved with a series that isn't Star Fox or Pikmin for fricking years. Shit, the most he contributed was telling AlphaDream to give Paper Jam a dash which was legitimately a good idea.
Wasn't he involved with Pikmin 4? And look what happened, decided to reboot the story for no reason
Are you two fricking illiterate?
Yes actually
No, you're just a fricking moron. SF Zero was 2016, 7 fricking years ago, that's not "recently", so cite your sources or shut the frick up.
>That's not "recently"
Where the frick did I say it was? I said Miyamoto hasn't been involved with a series that isn't Star Fox or Pikmin for fricking years. As in he's only really been involved with Star Fox and Pikmin regardless of when they came out. You fricking moron.
>that isn't Star Fox or Pikmin
>last actual SF game was Zero, which was a load of ass and ANOTHER SF64 rehash, which was already a rehash of SF1
Yeah i'm gonna need some citation on that
Paper jam fricking sucked!
>haha what if paper mario in mario & luigi?
Funny how paper mario killed itself and another mario rpg series at same time.
>Paper jam fricking sucked
and that was entirely on AD
they literally said they could have done a fanfictiony plot but preferred the idea of character interactions between the mario people and their respective paper versions
I heard they did do a big plot but it got too out of hand
millennials out there shocked that time passes and nothing lasts forever
Reggie wasn't responsible for anything good.
Masuda "retired" too but his reputation took too big a hit in recent years. A shame since he was probably the biggest worker of the original staff.

he's no longer marios voice but the image in the OP says that he's now the King of Mario (Ambassador)

Can he pull of video game Mario? He said he wouldn't do THAT voice in the movies, but that doesn't mean he can't do it for the games.
Video game Mario will just use his normal voice
They only got crisp rat to do the movie voice so they could put his name on the posters and get people in to seats. Thats not gonna work for the games and they know it.
Cry more, leftoid.
Nothing in my post even mentions politics, I think you responded to the wrong person friend.
Nintendo is absolutely gonna get some literal who they can pay peanuts.
He looks like another Perfect Mario candidate. Probably not and I haven’t even heard him yet.
There's no way people actually think Pratt will voice Mario in the games right? It's a joke right?

Anime Mario also had soul, and that was the first voiced one (licensed show saturday supercade doesnt count) and voiced him in at least one game before Martinet's time.

My 7 year old nephew is not gonna be happy about this, I wonder if I should even tell him.
Why would they still need him anyway? Mario has been making the same exact sounds for like 30 years now. They could just re-use all the recordings he did for Super Mario 64 perpetually and nobody would be able to tell the difference.
truly. an end of an era

No sticky because he's not dead.
>Charles Martinet finally retiring
Good. His Mario's been shit since Brawl.
Bowser's Inside Story came out a year later and it had peak Mario AND Luigi
Wonder what the deal with Brawl was then.
That was Sakurai wanting everyone to be gritty and edgy. And for some reason he never got Martinet back to do new lines for Sm4sh and Ultimate despite having Fox's VA do new takes and getting Captain Falcon's VA back for Min Min's reveal trailer.
Brawl was an outlier during that era, he wasn't that bad in any other Wii game. He just sucks in Smash for some reason.
Why do you people give a frick about Nintendo?

Congratulations!
100 years in the business, Martinet!
Peace.
Quickly, fellow schizophrenics! While they are stunned and suggestible, now is the time to start whispering our beliefs into their ears!
I could smell it coming with Luigi's Mansion 3. Wario and Mario seem to come the easiest to him (sounded fine with fully voiced cutscenes in Warioware Gold) but he has a bit of trouble with Luigi. RIP Martinet, nice that you're still considered "the real voice" by Nintendo with the goofy symbolic role of Mario Ambassador

Anything Nintendo related in the news cycle attracts absolute crazy people.
It’s Mariover…
What about the other characters he voices?
>like 100 years old
I'm honestly surprised it took this long to replace his VA. The latest mario games have sounded real off.
"Mario Ambassador" sounds like he signed an NDA so he wouldn't go all Steve Whitmire on them
Yeah, its pretty clearly a made up role to placate him, considering it didn't even fricking exist until now.
its not like they ever needed it until now
the mario brand/character consists of pretty much just Martinet and Miyamoto
not surprising to have a role made up when you need it as opposed to before.
There were multiple voices before charles, its a nothing role just so people don't complain.
More like he's gonna get a steady paycheck just so they can have him on call for doing some PR/marketing here and there, easy semi-retirement
I don't care about Mario, Luigi is more important
His final lines in the movie are
>“These are my boys!”
Is there a more better send off than this? 🙁
I think he'll still voice Mario's dad in the sequel
I'd love to see Mario's family more often.
>So long, gay bowser
He’s still gonna be in Mario Wonder
That voice isn't charles
I posted the wrong pic, he says it here
Why does Mario's dad remind me of a character from Asterix? I can see him hanging in the village selling fish or something
It's the sideburns
>THE SCHIZOS WERE CORRECT
QRD?
Some people noticed Mario's voice in Wonder sounded different.
That's literally it.
Since the last direct people have been theorizing that Charles Martinet has been replaced since Mario and Wario sounded different. This sparked discourse and speculation on social media. Most people tried to say they were wrong.
Doesn't mean he was fired
Well never know for sure unless someone leaks and spills dirt, which will be a long time from now if ever
I do find it curious that despite he desires to voice the character forever and still able to do the voices somewhat, he's been given a made up job just to promote instead.
During Nintendo's latest direct, it was already apparent that Charles Martinet wasn't the one doing the voice, both for Wario and for Mario, and anyone who didn't immediately come to that conclusion was a complete fool.
Not suprising. The man was already pretty old 20 years ago.
It honestly makes sense that Nintendo retired Martinet.
Listen to his Luigi's mansion 3 voice and screams. He sounded like shit. Luigi sounds like Waluigi now and Wario sounded like an old man compared to his Wario World days when it was at his peak. It was just time to retire him.
>Gold gets full voice acting
>Wario sounds way too pitched up despite him sounding deeper in recent games
>but then there's Wario Deluxe who sounds WAY too fricking deep
Imma kill Miyamoto for his sins
I don't get it
Mods stickied the Movie trailer
Why not this?
HOLY FRICK YOU GUYS
IT'S HAPPENING
the east has fallen
You think the Movie was the push factor, because it meant that Charles was no longer the de facto Mario voice anymore?
>because it meant that Charles was no longer the de facto Mario voice anymore?
I don't see how that would be the catalyst for the change at all. Unless Charles was angry that he wasn't the voice of Mario in the movie and decided to retire as a form of protest, but I doubt it.
I mean with the movie doing as well as it did, and no riots/boycotts over the voice (or rather mario being extensively voiced at all) they came to realize it's not a big deal to sack martinet when he is old as frick and has declined in quality and
basically Nintendo realized they can go cheaper with mario and no one will give a frick
mario is now voiced by a fat black troony
this bait, don't reply anons
>inb4 why did you reply
so others don't reply to it
Are you still shilling yourself after all these years, EmptyHero? I thought you were supposed to be better than Manlet Tears
I think it's worth noting that the American version of the Wonder trailer actually edited out Mario going "WONDAFUL!!"" right before the title drop in the Japanese trailer. If that's the new VA, I actually like him.
At this point anyone doing an impression of Martinet's younger Mario is better than old Martinet. Mario needs to be a ball of happy energy, not an old man.
AI.
Oh shit
So who do you hope Nintendo hires to be the next Mario
>inb4 Chris Pratt
Quinton Flynn
Nah if the Wonder trailer already had the new guy it's someone doing an impression of the regular Mario voice
Did you mean to reply to my post?
I bet 20 bucks its going to be some literal who, same as all the other voices theyve been hiring recently.
Im sorry what is this about? Marioa VA dead?
He's retired.
Oh okay uhm ai can recreate "wahoo" "itsamee" perfectly now so eh?
Good morning sirs.
But probably, I really don't know or care how good AI is, but knowing nintendo they are probably going to reuse the same voice files, or just get a new guy to impersonate Mario's voice.
Peak "nintendo hire this man".
Inb4 they now use chris pratt the guy who voiced him in the movie
Just not working with Nintendo, or at least not doing Mario's voice anymore.
Read the text on the fricking picture, moron.
shut your gayass up white boi

Mario is no exception

Will the prices of his autographs go higher or will they lower?
Or just wait till he dies?
mario has a dad? i thought he was created in a plumbing tube
they fricking knew
Charles Martinet wasn't that talented and caught the biggest break of a lifetime making extremely simple sounds with his voice. Mario had speaking roles in cartoons and other media until Mario 64 came around, which only needed sound effects. Nintendo attempted to make Mario talk with Martinet's voice in a video at a live presentation once promoting a Mario game once and it was received negatively because it sounded weird, not just because it was Mario talking, but because Martinet can't say three words in a row as the character without his voice breaking. It's not a true voice role, he merely makes sound effects with his voice. They are decent sound effects, but it limited Nintendo's options with a character that they were clearly not trying to make a semi-silent protagonist until Mario 64 came along. They could have used anyone to voice the dragon in Skyrim too, since the pitch was so edited. Martinet can't voice act, he can only make silly sounds.
I said my piece Chrissy.
>it was received negatively
weird that they kept doing it then, he was doing those events where mario speaks into a puppeted head for years
I remember seeing a discussion on the internet of people hating it. It was like 2000. It might have been about an old video, but the point still stands. People reacting to something in person isn't always their true thoughts, they're just excited to be there. Like everyone nodding and agreeing with the b***h playing Snow White in interviews but Disney is actually having crisis meetings over her comments.
I want to add one more thing before the thread dies. I don't think Martinet was a good voice actor. But I personally like his Mario voice for the yahoos and shit, which is still the most important thing.
He also seemed to be really into it, loved doing it, and have a lot of respect for the role he was given. I also give him credit for while being very simple roles, you could tell Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi apart.
> Charles Martinet wasn't that talented
No, he just is too Perfect Mario. As shown by MIRT, Martinet was a God thing, and extremely talented. The games are robotic that is not his fault. But on Ganker, “bing bing wahoo” robot meme gets used a lot here, so the implication finally stuck that Martinet is a robot.
I think it is good that we finally moving back to voice actors that might be more like the real Mario, and not a professional voice actor.
He literally does entire sentences in the Wario voice in Wario Ware Gold. Also Martinet has done other things besides Mario. He is a genuine voice actor.
With the additional voice acting in Wonder, is Nintendo going to be pushing for more VA work in their games now?
