Yes, the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, is playing Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon in the video above!

EAD Tokyo. Monolith Soft. Retro. These are just three first-party Nintendo studios that were absent from E3 this year.

Retro is particularly important, as they’ve worked on some of Nintendo’s most beloved franchises – Metroid and Donkey Kong. There was a lot of hope that the studio would be bringing a new Wii U game to E3 2012, but as we all know, that didn’t happen.

Reggie Fils-Aime was asked about the status of Retro in an interview with IGN, but the Nintendo of America president remained tight-lipped.

Fils-Aime said:

“… if I disclosed what Retro is doing, I would have the president of Retro literally calling me right now saying, ‘Reggie, what are you doing?’ We love that people are interested. We love surprising people. I remember getting the questions before we announced Donkey Kong Country Returns. And I loved unveiling that. So… Rest assured, the team is hard at work. But I’m not gonna tell you what they’re working on.”

And when asked if we’ll hear about Retro anytime soon, Fils-Aime said, “Um… Likely not.”

E3 2013, then? Please?
