It’s sad. But hopefully, a chance for Nintendo take advantage of this to modernise things a bit. Wonder looks to have a bit more VO in it, and people have been speculating it’s a new actor.
tbh he has to retire sometime, and considering the reaction to the movie casting this seems a sensible way to do it.
He’s now going to be a Nintendo Ambassador or something. I wonder if this is just to change the voice of Mario while also effectively retiring him from voice acting so they don’t have Mario voicing Bayonetta in the next game or something.
The man’s been doing the voice of Mario since 1995. Charles deserves a worthwhile retirement. It’s probably getting harder for him to do it at almost 70
Makes sense that he’s done with the work part of being so intimately linked to a character. He has done so much voice work over the years. But I must say I really love that he’s still going to be Mario but in a much more laid back role as Ambassador, he deserves his retirement and it was kinda expected after the Mario Movie cameo.
All I want out of Hi-Fi Rush now is a sequel, an adult animated series, and a Hibiki snap-back. And maybe some figures of the cast. Hi-Fi Rush was a damn good game, it’d be a shame if we didn’t get more out of it.
