Charles Martinet, known for previously being the voice of Mario, has now commented directly on his new ambassador role with Nintendo – and also confirmed he hasn’t retired.
As it so happens, Martinet shared a few words about this during Galaxycon Austin 2023. Regarding the Mario Ambassador position, he said he “doesn’t know what that is yet”. He also confirmed that he’s not retiring from voice acting as a whole.
If you’re a longtime fan of Disgea, you’ve probably had the upcoming entry in the series – Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless – on your radar for some time now. It’s a series I’ve always been curious about, but my love for strategy RPGs is somewhat of a recent development, and so I’m still cutting my teeth on the genre as a whole. That’s exactly why I was eager to get a taste of this high-energy franchise at PAX West 2023, and while I only got to sample a small portion of the game, I’m already interested in playing more – if not a bit intimidated by the prospect of it.
IGN recently caught up with Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser and asked about the recent decision to make Charles Martinet a Mario Ambassador.
Recently, it was announced that Martinet won’t be voicing characters for Nintendo’s games going forward. He previously held the role for Mario and others for a few decades. But now as Mario Ambassador, Martinet will ” continue to travel the world sharing the joy of Mario and interacting” with fans.
Bowser had this to say when asked about the decision to make Martinet Mario Ambassdor:
It’s been confirmed that Little Nightmares III won’t include couch co-op, and Supermassive’s game director Wayne Garland has now weighed in on the decision.
For the first time in the series, co-op will be supported. However, much to the disappointment of fans, the feature is limited to online. If you’d rather play with a friend locally, you’ll unfortunately be out of luck.
