Shigeru Miyamoto and Charles Martinet's Emotional Message on the Role Change

Read Time:44 Second

As most fans have already heard, Charles Martinet, the longtime in-game voice actor for Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi is stepping into a different role. He will no longer provide voice work for the games, and will instead become a Nintendo ambassador, meeting fans around the world and spreading love for the brand.

While we’re certainly happy for the legend, it’s hard to ignore the gut-punch feeling we’re left with knowing his voice will not grace upcoming releases. We’re not the only ones feeling sentimental about the change either. Nintendo of America tweeted out a heartfelt video featuring Martinet and Mario creator, Shigeru Miyamoto. It’s a short, but moving message conveying Martinet’s excitement for the upcoming position, and Miyamoto takes a moment to thank the voice actor for his hefty contributions. It’s okay if you tear up a little.

A North Texas native, I was born in '80s and grew up '90s playing a hefty amount of NES, Sega Genesis, and SNES. Some early favorites include Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Road Rash II, and Super Mario World. As the 3D revolution took hold in the late 1990s, my interest in video games waned while my interest in music grew. Then around 2007, I started recollecting some old favorites which led to discovering classics I missed out on. The casual hobby snowballed into a full-blown obsession, and it became my mission to make up for years of lost gaming.
