Voice of Mario is in Runner 2, game releasing in early 2013

Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario, is providing some work for Bit.Trip Presents… Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien. Martinet will voice a total of seven cut-scenes in the game – and he’ll be playing himself.
Polygon explained how the partnership with developer Gaijin games came to be:
“The developers at Gaijin Games say that initially, the plan was for Martinet to play a defined character they had created, but when Martinet showed up and said a few lines in first-person, they decided to lean into it. They compare it to Leonard Nimoy’s appearance in Dreamcast cult favorite Seaman, where Nimoy announced his name at the beginning to crack the fourth wall and make it clear the player was about to try something unusual.”
Gaijin has confirmed that Bit.Trip Presents… Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien will be released in early 2013.

Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, the first series entry on the 3DS, sold 50,000 units in its first week in Japan. It went on to sell nearly 150,000 copies.
The half-follow up Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd shifted 34,000 units in its first week. Although Tecmo Koei hasn’t shared up-to-date sales figures, series producer Hisashi Koinuma is pleased with total sales and hinted that the team may soon be able to think about the next project in the franchise.
Koinuma wrote on Twitter:
“I cannot begin to express how overjoyed I am that [Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 2nd] has continued to sell to the year’s end. Thank you! Just a bit more in sales, and we can start thinking about the next game, so please keep at it!”
