So that pretty much confirms it's someone else in Super Mario Wonder?
it confirms that shit hit the fan
Did they really fire him because he was caught emulating totk?
That's funny if true
i know its not but i want it to be true because that would truly cement him as a fricking legend
Mario wonder is releasing soon, they recorded all the lines months ago at this point
It confirms that they'll be using AI to emulate his voice from now on
Damn, really?
No
>LET'S A GO!
>WAH-hoo.
>Mama mia.
>YIPeeeeeee.
>Oof.
>WAH hah hah hah ha.
This is a great step forward tbh. Too bad for Mario voice wannabees kek. Now we need a solid snake ai.
Not until the game comes out and somebody else is in the cerdits, or Nintendo makes an announcement. It's very possible shit was recorded way ahead, and also Martinet has done a shitload of "Just in case" recordings for Mario and the rest that have never been used.
So for all we know there were already pre-existing files for Mario and Luigi talking about elephants.
Not necessarily. He could have easily done the voice work first, and then get the frick out.
It confirms nothing, they could have done the voice previously like a few months ago, or they could have just had someone else do the voice and broke the news now.
It could be a new guy, it could also just be his voice affected by age (which I doubt since he still seems to be able to do the voice)
But yea I'm not upset or anything, we're all getting old.
Nintendo spokeman confirmed that Charles isn't involved in Wonders
https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-confirms-charles-martinet-is-not-involved-in-super-mario-bros-wonder
>While Charles is not involved in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, we're excited to honor his legacy and
contributions, including looking ahead to what he'll be doing as a Mario Ambassador
Mario is one of the easiest impressions ever, so it doesn't effect much since anyone can do the voice, but I just really like Charles he's a cool dude
Maybe Mario is, but Luigi and Wario aren't. Waluigi too I guess, not that he matters nearly as much.
I think a Waluigi impression can be pulled off. Wario is the only tough one.
Meeting him at a con was great. He said he thinks sparing Paarthurnax is the right move by the way, so if anyone kills him just know you made Luigi sad
yea, AI
Not necessarily. The voice lines could have been done a while ago. The fact that Mario and Luigi seem to have new lines in Wonder that still sound pretty good while Wario in the new Wario game sounded kinda strange is interesting though.
Makes sense with the Mario Movie and him being a lot older at this point
Yeah
I will never forgive them if the new voice replacement for Mario is a Jap. If it is, 2 bombs isn't enough.
Why the hell would it even matter? He literally just shouts WAHHOO in a raspy voice.
>OOOH! AH-YAHOOOO!
>IT'S AH-DAH MARIYO TIME!
No.
Tey have all the voices tey need from 30 years of recording sessions, another one bites the dust replaced by AI.
They already reuse a lot of voice lines from the N64 era in games today. Like a large chunk of the voices in the Mario Karts and Smash are still used from Double Dash and Melee. As long as they never have Mario actually talk they can keep reusing Martinet's old lines for ages still.
The big open secret is that Nintendo is already using Ai processes in it's development pipeline, and is why Zelda looks the way it does.
Post some pictures of these AI assets, then
The closest thing to that would be the fact that the npcs in BOTW were created using a process based off of Mii data.
Which is completely different to what this anon is implying, of course.
>it’s real
What the frick
3 threads for shit nobody cares about
>3 threads for shit nobody cares about
Cope, snoy.
No one would care if it was a Sony character.
I LOVE BING BING WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
God of war lost
>the original voice of mario
That's a lie.
That could explain why Wario sounds a bit different in the new game's trailer.
Frick Chris Pratt.
Sister why are you so obsessed?
This
No one made a fuss when he was in the lego movie.
It was all of the sudden a problem when he started to voice mario. And all his beliefs and marriage became an issue.
I got no problems with Pratt's beliefs. I do have issues with choosing him over Charles for the movie, but at least Charles had pretty substantial cameos and it felt like Ninty fought to make sure Charles was there.
>I got no problem with Pratt's beliefs
And why would you? The man hasn't said anything controversial, he's just a loving Christian. The fact that Twitter users take issue with that only shows how deranged they are.
He is tenuously linked through association of his church to someone who attended another church that hates gay people. He needs to apologise
Those were made issues years before by twittertards and Ellen page
Chris(t) Pratt will take over as the official Mario voice.
Wowiezowie
So long gay Bowser
It's unironically over.
>Ambassador
AKA, we're keeping him as the face because we don't want the replacements to make as much money as he does.
The replacement won't make any money because it's AI
He is just going to be like Miyamoto and be just an old gay to talk with people but that don't do anything else in the games. Honestly he probably is still being paid for that
what's there to record anyway they can use any wahoo mama mia from previous games
I can't believe Mario is graduating, when's his final stream?
tomorrow
Either Chris Pratt or Gabasonian is taking over.
>so what do you do for a living?
>mario ambassador
Chris Pratt is now the new voice of Mario.
Here is your new voice.
Bappidi-boopi
I'M-A JUMP
>Mario and Rayman will now share the same va
Based.
>Iwata has passed away
>Charles isn't Mario anymore
All I need now is for Miyamoto to drop. Then I can officially start moving in to being a PC exclusive player.
Miyamoto hasn't directed a game in over 20 years. He's literally an advertising asset.
Miyamoto is the producer of 90% of nintendo games and if you read some interviews you will find out he always make his way to be involved in the development somehow
>man who is there because his name being attached next to the game makes it sell better tells the media that he is totally involved in every game the company puts out and you should thank him for all the good choices made during development
Wonder why... A Super Mario Wonder, even.
yeah with some shit, like "oh this game could be called Star Twins in Japanese, 'Jet Force Gemini' is too complex for our Nihongo speak", little suggestions like that
>its real
honestly i'm more upset about him not voicing wario now more than anything. the voice they have for him now sucks ass, i really hope they get a decent replacement at some point. luigi will be tough to replace too. he is a wonderful and gifted voice actor but he's definitely getting up there and i understand voicing such a variety of characters is tough as hell as you age and your voice changes. what a bummer regardless. going to be a weird transition.

HE WON.
SAY HIS GODDAMN NAME!
STOMPING
What the frick? Mike Adriano is Mario now? What is happening with Nintendo?
Lmao I did not expect to see that name brought up in this thread. That man is an evil israeli hedonist.
>That man is an evil israeli hedonist
QRD?
His real name is Mikael Finquel, he is a Sephardic israelite from France/Spain (Marbella), and from his "career" and the fact he enjoys weed and Fallout 4 (vidya) he likely burned out his dopamine receptors long ago. r/adrianostudies researches this enigmatic figure known as the "Finqmeister' or "Stinky Finqy".

I can do a pretty good Mario myself

>hello.
>it's me, mario.
happy for Charles
finally he can be a homosexual in the open without contracts forcing him to keep quiet
>homosexual
Gay Luigi?
>Mario is now voiced by Carlos Jamal Rodriguez!
I wonder what diversity hire they'll replace him with.
Mario will be replaced by Maria, a transgender black gay muslim in a wheelchair. Bowser will be replaced by Literally Donald Trump.
rent free
This is practically their logo, I doubt they’d do something so stupid. It’d be like Disney making Mickey Mouse trans
That isn't out of the question for Disney. It's not a matter of if, but when.
Nah no way, they’d instantly destroy any Ayyrab/Poojeet customer base, and more of course
>That isn't out of the question for Disney. It's not a matter of if, but when.
>The day before Mickey Mouse goes public domain:
> "Mickey mouse is officially Trans, and a Nazi, a Terrorist and a Communist. Xe's Fascist, Far Left, Far Right, Sodomite, Slaver and Druglord Pedo.Enjoy your new public domain character" - Disney
>doesn’t understand how public domain works
The actual Mickey Mouse character remains a perpetual trademark, only his original steamboat Willie design will be public domain.
His current design debuted 11 years later so expect to wait a while longer for that to be public domain.
>Minnie was just Mickey in drag all along
They're not gonna replace him, they're gonna reuse old clips until the law is definitively set to allow AI to copy Charles' voice.
Meds
>Realize with mario movie success that most people will not care about mario voice
>move voice actor to higher position where he gets paid more to not talk badly about Nintendo
>Thank you so much for-a playing my game
:' (
Hope they bring out the french guy to voice Luigi again
I'm happy for Charles Martinet, he knows he's going to be the most famous voice Mario ever had and cemented a legacy for one of the most popular characters ever. He's getting old, he wanted to go out on a high note instead of giving us a Marge Simpson type Mario
I think the new one sounds fine, and I'm sure Charles endorsed it. End of an era but not a bad thing.
He was already starting to sound a bit off lately
He was, but it could've gotten a lot worse
WOWIE ZOWIE
>that voice line with furry elephant mario
honestly it doesn't sound that different. If that isn't charles then it's a good voice replacement.
It's similar and also sounds younger. Not too surprising, I thought it was a new voice when I watched the trailer but then sort of assumed it was just him anyway later on when Luigi sounded the same to me.
What if I refuse to recognize Mario Ambassadors?
>Mario movie but every time he steps down the movie gets faster

Sorry marketing bot, your script wasn't compatible with Ganker
It was a normal, link but mods changed it.
Honestly its really weird this thread didn't get stickied, no sticky for the motherfricking voice of MARIO stepping down, but we got a sticky for some random gacha b***h turning 2 years old or whatever.
>It was a normal, link but mods changed it.
Wait nvm, I thought this was the same exact thread as the other one, I swear the OP is identical besides the link.
>embedding twitter
Go back
grossology 2 (and cinematic universe) confirmed?!
ANAL
SPHINCTER
Someone should deepfake his voice saying
SUPER MARIO ANAL SPHINCTER
I don't understand what's preventing them from reusing the same 5 lines from 30 years ago
It would feel cheap.
nintendo already made TotK i don't think they're concerned about being cheap.
Damn. So this is what it feels like when the realization of "you're getting old" punches you in the face. Frick man.
I don't get it. How many times do you have to record
>Wah
>Hoo
>Mamma mia!
>Let's-a go!
It's probably because of other games with characters that say more than a few words, like Wario Ware and Luigi's Mansion.
Well, he had a good run. F, 1996-2023.
He probably struck a deal where they would just use his voice with AI so they own his voice but he doesn't actually do anything. It's probably less than minimum wage, but he gets free money for life doing nothing. Hopefully he is getting $400 a week or something for them to own his AI voice. I seriously doubt that and he is probably raked over the coals and getting fricked in the ass here. I'm surprised he's connected to Nintendo at all. They don't need him. Nintendo is doing Charles a huge favor by keeping him around.
He obviously does more than just voice Mario. He's probably been doing ambassador stuff all along, but now that his voice over is completely useless, they are officially switching his title.
>$400 a week
He wants to have a living, anon, not scraping by with literal peasants
He is already a millionaire no one cares
This. This dude has been voicing mario for 31 years already, he's set for life.
You AI gays are actually moronic.
it's same as crypto and NFTs, it's a techno super-solution to a problem that doesn't exist
>it's same as crypto and NFTs, it's a techno super-solution to a problem that doesn't exist
>it's same
>that doesn't exist
The thing is crypto was too idealistic rahter than useful. It's only use was illegal shit form the dark web. It was never going to work where people prefer central banks.
AI isn't especially when it comes to providing information like summaries & search. I really want something like a chatGPT 4 as public search engine. Google is getting worse and bing ai isn't the solution because it just search for information online rather then having foreknowledge. if it isn't going to be AI at the end of it I really need a better search engine.
GPT models suck as a search engine or Q/A machine, I have to fact-check them constantly. It doesn't actually know what you're asking it, it's autocorrect with a feed-out.
I don't know it works for me, chatGPT always gave me the right answers I fact check it and it's correct and makes it easier to find more information. like guessing what you know you don't know.
I was thinking about this. but it is Nintendo who we are talking about.
they will have to recast Wario, Waluigi and Luigi too
Watio’s voice already was. You can hear it in the last direct.
So we all agree that he was actually fired, right? The whole ambassador thing is just to get him to sign an NDA to keep him quiet so Nintendo can save face.
Why would he be fired?
We don't know. He's under NDA.
not at all, he's been doing it for decades and probably wants to either retire or do something else. i do hope he does other voice roles though because hes great in the few that he has
That doesn't corroborate with his previous statements on the subject.
>things don't go as planned or opinion change
STOP THE PRESS!
You can shill for Nintendo all you want, but there's obviously been bad blood between the two since at least the Mario Movie.
>no argument
>tries to talk about something else
Of course.
I don't even like Nintendo much these days.
>no argument
Well, your argument is pretending you can read his mind so...
"Wanting" something does not necessarily make it possible, anon.
If Nintendo wants to fire someone they'll fricking fire someone. Look at Fire Emblem 3H, they replaced two of their leads for breaking NDA after the first trailer had came out.
Brand ambassador is a sweet fricking gig, dude's gonna be collecting paychecks and all he has to do is travel to do promotional shit. Nintendo is not gonna keep "Mario in residence" just to "save face" for your absurd conspiracy theories.
Why are you comparing a beloved industry legend to people who voiced characters in a game that hadn't even come out yet as if firing them would garner equal responses?
>Brand ambassador is a sweet fricking gig
We have no idea what "brand ambassador" means. For all we know, it could just be that he's going to continue to go to conventions, but this time they're going to be officially endorsed by Nintendo.
No more italian accented mario rip
The Mario Wonder voice is fine
>Zoomers crying about Bing Bing wahoo voice not being Mario anymore
Captain Lou is the one and true Mario.
He now exclusively voices Luigi
Jokes aside, no wonder his Wario voice in Gold sounds so bad
BEHOLD the new face of Mario
You'd better be lying to me.
>with this transition
Yaas Charles slayyy queen
Based, paging this as his next VA
There's already a new VA for Wonder
>as far back as super mario 64
I'm genuinely surprised Nintendo stuck with him for that long. Good on them and that guy I guess.
Why are morons mad at this news? Nintenshills and paid reactors aside, obviously Mario's voice will never be the same but considering his age and what sounds like is essentially retrirement plus, thats the dream isn't it? Good for him.
Meanwhile Goku's voice actress is 86 and still kicking.
They'll just use AI to replicate his voice long after hes dead anyway
there's a new actor in wonder. It was hard to tell, but it's obvious if you loop it.
Oh no! No one can bing bing wahoo like him! The franchise is fricking dead.
so the frick what jesus christ. there's 3 threads of this dumb shit, you idiots got nothing better to seethe about?
MODS
STICKY
NOW
PLEASE
pretty please?
Not gacha? Not important 🙂
mario kart tour is gacha, so it can be stickyed right?
no I don't know
On another note Daisy’s VA Deanna Mustard has been voicing Daisy 20 Years since Toadstool Tour Golf I believe, hopefully she can do new lines in Wonder
Wtf Daisy's VA look like this?
It took them a while to settle on a voice for Daisy, back then Peach and Daisy shared the same VA Jen Taylor and her Daisy sounded Cutesy
This may or may not be the new VA
?t=77
I like it. Sounds like Sunshine Mario.
It sounds like "hey guys! I can do the Mario voice. Check this out!"
Ironically, that's what Charles sounds like now.
Literally just less compressed Mario Kart 64 Mario
Thank frick, Luigi sounded like SHIT in LM3
Fricking shit i thought he died for second.
Mario if he replaced
MY WIFE DAISY!
>a very high chance that there really is a new VA for Super Mario Wonder
I'm sorry for calling the ones who said that "conspiracy theorists".
they should get gianni matragano fr fr
OH YEAH ITS TIME FOR FUNNY JURRASIC PARK REBOOT MAN TO VOICE MARIO IN APL THE GAMES
do idiots really think nintendo is gonna fricking pioneer using AI for their voices? For their literal flagship character?
Nintendo will start using AI like 10 years after the rest of the industry starts and it'll be another 5-10 after that that they decide to use it for Mario, if ever
Correct
>that's just super, mario bros
really raimi?
Why does everything have to be a fricking conspiracy? The man can't just retire?
It was more speculating on whether or not the voices from the new Wario Wear game was Martinet
Conspiracies are fun.
That's exactly what ~~*((they*~~)) would say.
The only real big games worth anything that are out this year are Starfield and TotK (although HiFi, Pizza Tower, Gravity Circuit, and now Bomb Rush are a lot of fun). Give people a break and let them have some fun killing time.
why did this site have to become like this?
Being contrarian was for fun not to be right. No one actually was moronic on purpose back then, now they are and expects to be smarter than the rest of the planet.
This is actually one case where the conspiracy theory was right
Cybershell did a podcast a month ago looking at the growing number of people that believed he'd been 'silently replaced', and that's exactly what happened. He wasn't in WarioWare, he didn't record anything for Wonder (
), there was just a delay on Nintendo formally announcing it.
Eh, I'm with Cybershell on this one, the voice isn't THAT different, and basing the recast theory on that alone would be pretty flimsy. (Not that it matters since you're already getting morons who are pretending that they always knew the voice was different and everyone else is a moron for not noticing.) With the other evidence though, yeah sure, maybe. Honestly the schizos had a 50/50 shot of being correct since Martinet's voice had been noticeably changing for years now, so if it actually DID turn out to be him in Wonder, no one would've been surprised either.
What's much more interesting is the potential behind the scenes frickery with Nintendo and how they may or may not have treated Martinet during his tenure as Mario. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if some of that shit is true.
He wasnt silently replaced. They literally announced his retirement so their conspiracy theory was wrong.
They at least were smart enough to do this after the mario wonder announcement. Most gays didn't notice the voice change so people won't make threats and dislike the game because of that.
>Silently replaced
>Literally given an announcement as well as a video on the way with Miyamoto
>Also given the role of Mario ambassador, and will likely appear in future events
If they had said that before Wonder was shown, you'd have a point
And why don't I have a point now, huh?
They don't want their new direct being overshadowed by Charles retiring.
I'm sure they don't, which is why he was silently replaced, at least for a couple months before now. What is it you're taking issue with?
>IGN has confirmed in a follow up interview that Charles Martinet doesn’t voice Mario in Super Mario Wonder
I fricking told you deaf homosexuals but you kept saying “no way it totally sounds like him” when it doesn’t sound like him at all.
It sounds like him, but it was never him
No it fricking doesn’t. Neither does that Wario voice they used. They both barely sound like the VAs are even trying to do impressions of the characters. You people are autistic and have zero voice recognition despite hearing his voice for 20 years.
The Mario voice sounds similar but it isn't him moron
>YeeeOweeZOWeee!
It sounds worse than Chris Pratt’s impression from the beginning of the movie.
>implying it doesn't sound like Mario
moron
It doesn't sound anything like him? Are you moronic?
Seething engaged
https://twitter.com/GameSpot/status/1693653826694209919
people called us crazy when we said he sounded weird in Wonder
It really does show just how mindless people are that they didn't figure this out and argued against it
I can accept him retiring just fine. Sounds kinda like he might go back to doing what he did originally before N64, might still do whatever version of Mario Live is still around. What I won't accept is that this announcement is a way to soften the blow that something's wrong with him, dude better be legit retiring
Why was he cancelled for?
He was found having gay sex in public you can look it up
I can make a 1:1 voice of Mario
why the frick didnt they hire you then
NINTENDO
Nepotism.
Right
Where did this """""rumor""""" of Martinet being gay come from
Was it just a shitpost that latched on or just pure schizophrenia
Better question is who cares?
Culture war homosexuals that will try turning this into about culture war bullshit.
Looks like a Japanese idea of a texan
He looks more like he'd be a professional wrestler in the WWE. I have no idea what his wrestler name would be though.
The Shibuya Candyman
He's just cosplaying as Magenta there lel
Who wants to bet this guy is exactly like Jimmy Saville
Something about him owning a pink house.
No seriously
Why are people calling him Gay
I keep hearing about this but no one fricking shows anything
What is this, some shitpost by lefty pol to piss off right wingers?
Not everything is a conspiracy. He's gay,
>Schizo rambling
Too scared to reply?
Can you prove he isn't? You seem pretty butthurt over gay actor Charles Martinent
He’s not gay by default. You have to prove he’s gay, otherwise we assume he’s straight.
>still no proof
He's gay
The proof is there is no proof to him being gay.
If everyone is gay by default, everyone in this thread is now gay until proven straight.
I. am. a moronic gay
>lives with his partner
he is gay
That’s not how the burden of proof works, troon
>t. Gays
It's obvious. Japanese don't like gays so now it's out there they have to get rid of him
Their samurai fricked young boys ffs
>Japanese don't like gays
and yet they have an entire culture surrounded by glorifying homosexuality in their own way. curious.
Mario isn't gay, his VA is. Who gives a frick if he sucks dick? I hate this idea that VA and character need to be the same shit. It's just a voice.
>it isn't an issue that Mario is now linked to sucking wiener
you've been controlling mario for years and it hasn't been an issue yet
>samurai jack is a Black person
Frick. Show ruined.
im not paying 60$ for wahoos that came from a mouth that had dicks in it thats hella gay
>not married
>effeminate
>obsessed with children
Very sus if you asked me
He's almost 70 and not once has he been seen with a woman.
literally me
A true wizard. I kneel.
Mario if he Wizard
martinet if he queer
It's interesting since he probably could've gotten any girl if he told them he voices Mario.
Its just terminally online morons trying to stir up controversy.
he was only good in Mario 64 who the frick cares
His voice has been really rough in the past decade or so. Booting up mario kart 8 for the first time was grating on the ears.
I noticed something was off in 3D World. He was good in 64, Sunshine, and the Galaxy games and everything up until the 3D World. Even there he wasnt bad, it was just not quite the same.
Who gives a frick?
The only people who care are nostalgia homosexuals in their 40's who still go to disney world and watch marvel movies, they are emotionally stunted mid age homosexuals who want to hold onto their childhoods
They should get the rope
Nice reddit spacing homosexual
Good, this is a mercy kill
>people wanted this as the voice of Mario in the movie
So, what happens now? Martinet's been THE voice of Mario for 20+ years, they can't just replace him, and any voice that isn't him would just feel wrong.
Is Mario just not going to have a real voice anymore? Is it all Pratt and sounalikes from now on?
They replaced him already. You heard the voice weeks ago and didn't notice somehow,
So AI?
No, it's clearly different.
Luigi too.
Okay then, who is it?
They didn't say
me
Wario takes over
go check wonder trailer and take a guess
Its just gonna be a guy doing a martinet impression, like how the kermit voice will always just be an impression of jim hensons version.
Something tells me Mario Ambassador means he's gonna be the voice director going forward.
It means they're going to cart him around for appearances. Maybe he'll consult or already did consult for the replacement voices.
If they don't do an impression then normal gays will lose their shit. You just can't do anything else in this situation.
Have you listened to the new Kermit voice? It sounds awful
What the frick is with that voice?
Disney put out some shitty office rip off using the muppets and kermits va (who jims family picked like 40 years ago as his replacement) tried to give them some pointers to make it less shit.
Obviously the mouse didn't like this and replaced him, and then the show unsurprisingly got cancelled.
There’s more to it than that. Whitmire was arguing with Disney about both Kermit’s performance and how the Muppet brand was being used for several years by that point.
In particular he objected to a muppet theme park show because it involved cast members puppeting along to a pre-recorded voice track.
My only guess is they told the guy to copy Whitmire so you're dealing with some kind of copy of a copy of a copy situation
they sacked steve whitmire and instead of actually replacing him they just got one of the other main muppet cast members who wasn't voicing kermit for a reason lel
There are new episodes of The Looney Tunes being made.
This is the cutoff, true SOULESS vidya starts here
New Luigi and Waluigi too
No Iwata. No Reggie. No Charles. Once Miyamoto is gone Nintendo will literally no longer exist.
>Nintendo only existed for a 30 year period
Memento mori
What about Koizumi
Thank you for your hard work, Charles o7
So long gay bowser.
It fits because he was Bowser in 64
Dang. Now I'm glad I got my copy of Mario 64 signed by Charles. At least he didn't die or something and left out of his own accord.
Wholesome! Thanks for sharing!
How much do Mario ambassadors make? What exactly do they do?
Will there even be a need to replace him?
Mario say the same 5 lines in every single game, they don’t even need to use AÍ, they can just re-use recordings
Why is it that people are losing their minds over this? Is it really that hard to comprehend that Charles can't voice Mario forever? I'd rather the man retire the voice now than run it and himself into the grave. Like yeah yeah change bad scary boo hoo, but come off it. This isn't like if gameplay is changed for the worse.
>one day you will wake up knowing you've BINGed your last wahoo
it's over for nintendo
He's almost 70. He's prob just tired of it.
I'm old enough to remember Mario not having a voice.
Was weird when I heard it for the first time in Mario 64 DS. I went from the SNES to the GBA so missed all of the other shit inbetween.
He had voice lines in the GBA ports of the SNES titles.
Didn't play those, just Astry Boy and The Sims 2. Nice to know, though.
Larping zoomer detected.
To the people saying his gay hookup accounts are fake
Yeah because no image has ever been faked before.

i won't lie chief, whether they're real or not, martinet getting his ass punched doesn't change my opinion of him or mario at all, because i'm not twelve years old or south american
may you be blessed with a gay bottom son.
he'll be a power bottom and you'll die angry about it
>70 year old man
>never married
Didn't take a genius
Plenty of anons here will be 70 and never married. Sometimes you're just autistic.
For someone his generation it's highly unusual. You might even say queer.

Will Mario have a completely different voice from now on or someone trying to do a Charles Martinet impression?
AI hopefully
To be honest, something like this would be the one thing AI is actually good for.
>Mario has told people to "smash my bricks"
>Mario has told people to "eat this mushroom"
>Mario has told people to "squeeze the fireballs"
Latter, Mickey Mouse deal with an iconic voice
charles martinet is dead
AI's time is now
do NOT reDEEM the HUMAN ACTORS
YOU BLOODY b***h BASTARD PLUMBER SIR
Literally who cares if he is gay? Women are evil and prostitutes so he's better off
>doesn't see an issue with a gay man being part of your child's upbringing and media exposure
No I don't thanks for asking
>dude who may or may not be gay says WAHOO a couple times
>oh my god he's ruining our children
Maybe stop letting corporations raise your children, moron.
I dunno man, you grew up playing the games he voiced and you didn't complain about it then.
He didn't deliver any gay messages or raise lgbt flags around as Mario. I don't think you understood the message of your favorite youtubers.
But enough about pedophiles, rapists, sexists and racists...
>doesn't see an issue with parroting satanic panic talking points
Half of this site has literally just turned in to the soccer mom personalities they used to make fun of.
i read politics articles by a fellow named ettingermentum, it's actually enlightening seeing that homosexual keep meticulous track of republican party failures over the past decade, coming here, and seeing some slack-jawed anon repeat the exact same talking points that secured a failure for the repub and pat himself on the back about how based he is
like word for word, troony hate and gay bashing and "think of the children" moral pandering, these people aren't even larping as soccer moms, they're larping as crusty old politicians that fricking lost within the past five years
>literally said SO LONG GAY BOWSER
I feel like this is the opposite of what you are worried about
SO LONG, GAY MARIO
>Gay man doesn't even publicly claim to be gay
>He has no influence on the way the character is handled
>Literally only paid to say WAHOO
If you think Martinet is the problem over the hundreds of homosexuals who flaunt their homosexualery as part of their VA brand, you are moronic
>t. Amerimutt zoomer whose iPad was around more than his actual parents
>No sticky for such a momentous occasion
Ganker is truly fricking dead.

#ThankYouMartinet
this dude kinda a funny example because when the whole hellena taylor bayonetta thing was going on everyone was b***hing about how it would just never make sense for her to make thousands of dollars for a few hours of work but charles martinet over at nintendo making 250k for literally ya hoo yippeee
Bayonetta games have sold horribly and there's only four of them.
Mario games are a guaranteed million+ sales for even low-effort spinoffs, mainline games clear 10 million sales easily and are a global phenomenon
yeah and so theres a little bit of a difference between 15k and 250k
Martinet also voices Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Baby mario and Baby Luigi, and his voice lines get used for things like toys and commercials. Unfortunately, there's no Bayonetta "Flock-off" action figure on target shelves for little Timmy, All she has going for her outside of Two platinum games is Smash 4 and the english dub to the anime. They aren't remotely equivalent.
>Nooooooo why does Tim Tebow and Ben Rothlesberger get paid more for football than my favorite college team, I don't understand
So who's gonna replace him?
He's already been replaced by some currently unknown nip. You can hear and engrish WONDAFURU in the Japanese trailer
>His final voice acting gig for Mario's series was being the literal father of Mario and Luigi
>the final spoken line of the movie was him proudly declaring "THESE ARE MY BOYS!"
That's a pretty great touch if true.
Also pretty sure Guiseppe/Wahoo man yelled "WAHOO" right at the very end
Final acting gig, like hes not going to appear in the inevitable sequel lol moron
>Mario and Luigi now live in the mushroom kingdom
lol moron
Implying he couldn't voice any other character?
Kinda fricked up if they fired him just for being a gay
I hope he just retired
Charles has been open about his homosexuality since 1995. How did Nintendo fire him for being gay if they hired him while he was open about being gay?
>frenchman is a homo
wow color me fricking shocked
Don't worry. I got this.
BING BING YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUT
good for him dude is fricking old
There's no evidence that he's gay
Luigi is the gay one, you fricking morons.
>Luigi is the gay one
This but unironically
And in Wonder he's gonna swoon over the flower prince.
>YOU ARE A GAY MOTHERFRICKER
To you I might be a gay motherfricker but to everyone else I'm just happy. Look, I've sucked one dick, that's all.
oh hey charles
Who cares? Voice actors are obsolete with AI.
>Guy who voices the most iconic video game character in the world steps down
>No sticky
>Screaming Black person dies
>Sticky
Explain this
Gamers looking for game discussion aren't the target audience anymore. Outrage addicts engage way more and bring in way more $$$
>Still assblasted over a very popular e-celeb's death.
Let it go, anon.
Now can Miyamoto die so Nintendo can either stop being a stagnant heap of shit stuck in the past or collapse completely?
Miyamoto dying is a question of when not if, unless immortality gets invented in the next 10 or so years.
Tell me you're a Papergay without telling me you're a Papergay
Only after you die first, homosexual.
I wonder Twitter will raise a shitfit if the new voice actor isn't Italian.
It's a nip, listen to his accent in the Wonder gameplay trailer
He sounds like Charles though? How the frick does he sound japanese?
why would they, charles learned more italian through voicing mario than he'd ever learned before in his whole life, it's why the M&L talking gibberish is just kind of italian sounding
Twittergays don't get uppity if the race in question is light skinned.
>italians
>light skinned
yes
Oh shit, new vinny video dropped
i never played a mario game in my life but i know most of them through vinny and i really enjoyed his view at this

now back to talking about Black person dick
Frick bro youre right
Guess I'd better go back to posting about israelites and Black person wiener all day like a real Ganker user
>inb4 "so long gay Bowser" was intentional this whole time
I have a magazine signed by Charles Martinet. Do you think it could be worth something?
at least a million billion bucks
I wish
>Vondy left Activision about a week ago
>Mario VA is stepping down
What’s next?
He's 67 years old
Can't a man retire in peace anymore?
this would be fine if he didn't say he wants to play mario and he wasn't fired because of the fricking horrendous troony film
ohhhh no!
SHUT UP Black person
>want
>not "will"
Please read next time.
>Wants to voice Mario till he dies
>No longer voicing Mario
UUUUUHHHHHHHHHH MARIO BROS??!?!?
What are the chances Nintendo hires an actual Italian who can even sing in Italian and is also fluent in Japanese? Surely, there exists an Italian weeb with the ability to voice Mario? Will Nintendo hold auditions in Italy?
I'm gonna miss Charles, and he deserves respect for inventing the Mario voice. The Wonder voice actor for Mario sounds fine though. It doesn't quite sound like Charles' Mario, but it does sound like Mario. Kind of like how Donald Duck still sounds like Donald Duck even after they had to replace the original VA, just not the same Donald Duck voice actor. They obviously tried to keep the essence of him while changing voice actors.
Chris Pratt was a fricking mistake though. It's never a good idea to replace a silly cartoony character's silly cartoony voice with a boring normal guy's voice. Imagine if for A Goofy Movie that got Goofy to be voiced by fricking Brad Pitt using his regular voice or something. It's the most moronic trend for cartoons of the last 10 or so years.
>Chris Pratt was a fricking mistake though
the mario movie as a whole was a fricking mistake, but it'll be a while before mariogays actually realize this and admit it lol
I thought most people agreed it was a mistake
it made a gorillion dollars and there were plenty of Adult Mario Fans™ calling it the peak of western animation on twitt*r, if by "most people" you mean "bitter Gankertards" then sure i guess. honestly the movie is so fricking forgettable that i'm not sure we're even going to have this conversation before the sequel inevitably gets announced
Just because it made money doesn't mean everyone liked it, I spent money to go see it and I hated it. A lot of people were complaining about Peach's potrayal outside of Ganker, as well as how the movie pussyified Mario himself
a few people not liking the mario movie doesn't really mean anything when nintendo printed so much money from it we're probably going to be seeing cashgrab sequels and more lame vidya -> film adaptations for the next decade. also imagine spending money to go see it in theaters lol
>A lot of people were complaining about Peach's potrayal outside of Ganker
i agree that she sucked, but the peach thing seemed more like a token culture war issue intended for pissing off the same people who always get ragebaited by this shit, i imagine most normies didn't really care about it
Brad Pitt voiced Boomhauer's brother in King of the Hill, I think it would have worked out
Frick off.
this whole thing is very strange with that interview he gave saying he wanted to voice Mario until he dies.
No one wants to give up a role they defined, that's just a natural thing. I don't think he's being pressured, though.
honestly this fricking sucks
feel sorry for Mario (REAL)
The only good news is that the next Smash game will have to record new lines for Mario/Luigi/Wario and not reuse the brawl voice lines
First losing GOTY
Now losing Charles
Not a good year for the tenies!
>cropping out the real score
What are you talking about, my GotY is a Nintendo game (it's not Mario though, it's Metroid Prime (don't know what that says given that I think a 20-year-old game is better than the stuff we have now))
RIP M and W bros
Always wondered, he "voiced" Mario on the DS RPG games?
yeah
Why the quotation marks?
They used voice clips and it didn't sound any different from what Martinet's usually doing
Well since is just gibberish and some random worlds I think they really don't talk.
He'll be fine I think.
Rough day for manchildren
Yeah I heard another playstation exclusive got ported to PC. FRICK RACISM! sorry, can't help myself sometimes.
>I wish for Daisy to be a playable character in a Super Mario game!
This is now when you realize Super Mario Run is considered a mainline game by Nintendo
>I wish for Daisy to be in Smash
Don't get why this is a big deal. It's 4 voice lines over 30 years, and I like Mario games
Lmao, guess who will be the new voice actor.
Definitely not the case.
his voice was blatantly shit and seeing any (read: any) clip where he speaks its him doing a shitty accent. Film trannies need to go back to Ganker
WOWIE ZOWIE!
Did Martinet step down from Wonder when they brought back that prince from an obscure Mario Japanese movie? He didn't want to get cucked so he noped out.
He has nothing to do with it.
Artist’s name, please

WHY THE FRICK ISNT THIS A STICKY? MODS??!?!?!?! THIS IS THE BIGGEST FRICKING NEWS OF THE YEAR
Because he didn't die? He's not retiring he's still being employed by Nintendo in a different kind of role.
>He's not retiring
>Mario ambassador
You clearly don't understand corpospeech
He's being practically fired under NDA
>He's being practically fired under NDA
For what?
>nooooo my heckin cartoon baby game with no dialogue has a new voice actor noooooo
Sorry, we’re adults here and too busy playing and discussing real games like BG3, Armored Core and Starfield
Charles was getting old. Anyone really shocked by this?
.
>nintendo replaces him in the movie
>goes insane and literally stops voicing mario altogether
lmao what a fricking manchild
No sticky for Mario? Total Janny Death.
How bad do you think the initial conversation was with him? I think he probably flew into a rage or started crying uncontrollably. I’d like to be a fly on the wall hearing that
I bet he said "MAMA MIA!" and fell backwards out of his chair with his hands up before getting up and saying nice joke guys
Mario brothers "da' horror".....
for me, its the stretched out brawl one
Why are the Nips simultaneously the most age-ist people in the world, while also being run by the elderly?
>one of the most memorable vidya voice artists ever is being retired
>no sticky
Execute all jannies by firing squad.
>bing bing wahoo!
>thatll be a million dollars
I bet you cried when iwata died
I mean things change. At least it seems amicable. As long as they keep the general tone and not switch to a Chris Pratt type vibe, I don't really care.
Looks like Dragon's Dogma 2 is keeping /ourguy/ too busy.
Miyamoto is gonna announce his retirement in the video message
He's probably just getting too old about it, and I imagine he's struggling to do the voice nowadays
