Reverse groomer.
you guys think that he should be replaced with another VA or should an AI trained on all the previous Mario voice clips replace him?
A new one, AI isnt perfect enough yet

I hope this happened in good faith. "Don't worry he's an ambassador now" sounds like some sort of window tribe deal, ngl.
But then again, he's in retirement age. Will be missed!

Yea, I thought the same as well. I wonder how busy they keep him and how well it pays. You're like a traveling mascot, basically.
Makes me wonder about the Hello Kitty in Japan. That's gotta be a part-time gig and there has to be multiple performers, must pay pretty alright.

Total end of an era. Charles has always felt like a good and genuine guy, especially the interactions people have had with him. Wish him all the best.
Not sure who gonna fill those shoes, but those are some hard shoes to fill.

Charles Martinet will no longer be voicing Mario in games going forward, Nintendo has announced.Martinet will instead be taking on the new role of 'Mario Ambassador'.
“Stepping down” implies he is voluntarily not doing it anymore. The actual language reads more like he’s been replaced and they’re giving him something else to do. They just don’t wanna say who’s voicing these characters going forward.
And who’s voicing Mario in Wonder? I’m guessing it’s the new guy

I don't think Arlo was the first to call it, but he seemed very convinced, but I just handwaved it away at the time. Guess he was right, but this is really sad.

Definitely thought that they were announcing his death when I started reading that.
The red background looked very serious.
But then I did forget that red is Nintendo's colour.

I'm more concerned about losing him for the Luigi's Mansion franchise.
Everyone thinks of him as Mario, but his most memorable work is the nervous Luigi mumbling, whistling, etc in these Mansion games.

End of an era. Thanks for all the great memories, helping make those games so much livelier and more fun.

Of course I know that. It’s why today is such a rotten day. His long win streak came to an end today.He also does wario though.
