"Charles Martinet — the legendary voice of Mario, who made his mainline debut as the plumber in Super Mario 64 — is stepping back from the microphone and will no longer be recording his voice for Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and many other characters.

Nintendo made the announcement on Twitter today, confirming that the iconic voice actor will be "stepping back from recording character voices from our games". But don't worry, as Martinet won't be stepping away from Mario entirely. Nintendo has created a brand new role for the actor: Mario Ambassador."

too bad capt lou isnt still around...
 
I mean, it's not a role that requires a lot of technical skill...

I hope. This is his decision and not Nintendo's, but given how basic the role is, and how much he would probably be paid for it, it's probably Nintendo's decision
 
I'm just not a fan of Nintendo's high pitched voices for their characters (Mario, Link, etc.). I'd prefer just to have the characters silent over their current sound effects.

I've never been a fan of that either, but Nintendo's main target demographic is children. Yeah their games are popular with older folk, but they're way more popular with children.
