Charles Martinet on Miyamoto: “He is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, was in attendance at Indiana Comic Con. During the Q&A portion of a panel Martinet was at, one of the questions was about what Shigeru Miyamoto – the creator of the IP – is like.
Martinet said in response:
He is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life. Shigeru Miyamoto is (the creator obviously of Mario and Zelda) and took games from being this simple place, from being non-existent to existing with a plot, and a character, and a through-line for the first time, and then brought on side-scrolling, and then three dimensions.
It’s remarkable the amount of joy and happiness and work and fun he’s brought to the world. And he’s the nicest most kind considerate thoughtful wonderful human being you could ever hope to meet.
When he originally auditioned as the voice of Mario, Martinet hadn’t even heard of Nintendo. Martinet now feels that he’s the “luckiest guy in the world” since he loves the people he works with and enjoys meeting those “who enjoy the things that I do.”

Nintendo filed trademarks for four different controllers in Europe on July 18. These include the NES, SNES, and Switch controllers, but the most interesting one is a registration for the N64 controller.
Each filing was registered under the same goods and services category, which is more connected to physical products rather than digital. Speculation has fans wondering if Nintendo could be planning a Nintendo 64 Classic Edition. Only time will tell…
