He's not even retiring really, just stepping down from voicing Mario. Probably because they have more than enough clips from him to generate whatever they need with AI for the future.
In true Japanese company fashion though they're giving him another role and keeping him on.
he had a profile on a gay hookup site and the username matched up with one of his emails or something like that.
He's hiding something. In some interviews he said he was never married and never had any kids but has nieces and nephews then in other interviews he said he is married and that his kids are grown up. Weird.
He's getting old, and they gave him an infinite "come tell our VAs about Mario and keep doing the convention shit whenever you want" job. That's pretty much as respectful as it gets. You don't want a Marge situation, she's sounded half dead for a while now.
Stop forcing him to do more Bing Bing Wahee voices for your amusement. He’s a decrepit old man now. If he wants to something else in his life, let him do it.
>nooooooo you have to keep doing a horribly racist impersonation of Italians until you die it's not faaaaiiiiiiirrrrrr!
Nah frick Charles and frick Nintendo for letting him get away with it for so long.
>gets to retire on a high note unlike some other VAs who have completely shredded their vocal chords to shit (The Simpsons cast comes to mind) >Nintendo literally making up some random job for him (ala Miyamoto being designated "creative fellow") just so he can get paid to travel around the world, do "bing bing wahoos" at events, and probably train the new guy some
What is there to defend? 99% of the time when a voice actor retires they're just thrown out with the garbage and replaced. If anything, he hit the jackpot.
watch an episode of the simpsons. bart sounds like an old lady and marge sounds like a zombie. being proactive with retiring a voiceactor when they're hittin 70 is pretty reasonable.
>Guy wants to retire >Nintendo offers him the position of Mario Ambassador >Ganker: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHAT THE HECK?????!!!!??!?!?!??! THIS IS LITERAL GAYMER GENOCIDE
Based on the wording I'm assuming that he's going to continue going to cons like he usually does and Nintendo's just going to pay him for it now because Jap companies like rewarding employees who have worked for them for a long time
The average american should retire at 65, charles "male hookup" martinet is 67

Male hook up? Did he frick some Nintendo fan or something what's that about?

>He does the Mario voice in bed
Imagine fricking mario
>*bing bing* "Wahoo!"

He's like 100 years old.

Defend what?
As an old man that Mario voice must be more grating that Parthuunax or however you spell it.
32 years as a single character is nothing to sneeze at. If I was Charles I wouldn't be upset to be replaced
Especially a single character that's said 10 words, 5 of which are pastas
How dare people grow old and retire. They should be forced to create content for me forever.
Obey my deliberately impossible and unreasonable demands.
>One of his last original lines will be saying "Wowie Zowie" as Mario turns into an elephant
BUSSINGA WAHOOOOOOOOOOO
he isn't in Wonder
BG3 and the Snoys are behind this.
>B-b-but da Snoys!!
I'm sure they somehow got Martinet fired too right?
Yes, exactly. And BG3.
who gives a frick
i'm surprised they even bothered to write down the name to hire the same guy to record a new "yahoo"
He's old. Listen to how horrible and nasally Luigi sounds in LM3.
You've hit a new low, Eric.
Dilate troon.
He has cancer
I hate all these conspiracy tards trying to find a problem with this that isn't there. Give the man a break.
Every single person who has done voice acting in games should be forcibly retired by the removal of voice acting.
Ok

>Formerly Chuck's
I don't play Mario games, so it doesn't matter to me one way or the other.
Hello Mario.
The man is not a slave, he has the right to retire
>nooooooo you have to keep doing a horribly racist impersonation of Italians until you die it's not faaaaiiiiiiirrrrrr!
Nah frick Charles and frick Nintendo for letting him get away with it for so long.

Errmmm.... bing bing?
holy shit he got unbanned?
Charles Martinet fell so Chris Pratt can rise.

AI is the future, it's coming whether you like it or not, and whether you're ready or not.
WOWIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>Guy wants to retire
>Nintendo offers him the position of Mario Ambassador
>Ganker: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHAT THE HECK?????!!!!??!?!?!??! THIS IS LITERAL GAYMER GENOCIDE
What the frick is a Mario Ambassador?
Ambassases Mario.
In video games, ambassador is another word for shill.
Based on the wording I'm assuming that he's going to continue going to cons like he usually does and Nintendo's just going to pay him for it now because Jap companies like rewarding employees who have worked for them for a long time
It reduces conspiracy schizos, it makes it obvious everything ended on good terms when they're still keeping him on pay roll
