“While Charles is not involved in Super Mario Bros. Wonder orWarioWare: Move It!, we’re excited to honor his legacy andcontributions, including looking ahead to what he’ll be doing as a MarioAmbassador. For the upcoming HD re-release of Luigi’s Mansion: DarkMoon, as it is a re-release, Charles’s voice will appear in the game.”
Some remasters and re-releases have featured different voice talent from their original versions, but it appears that won’t be the case for Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. The game originally released on Nintendo 3DS back in 2013, and a Nintendo Switch remaster will be releasing in 2024. The game is one of Nintendo’s few first-party titles confirmed for next year, and a set release date has not been revealed.
While Martinet will not be voicing any of the Mario family characters in new games, it seems his impact will be felt for a long time to come. From everything that’s been shown of Super Mario Bros. Wonder thus far, the new voice actors will retain a style similar to the one Martinet established. Martinet has basically served as the only video game voice for Mario, with just a handful of other actors portraying the character in outside media, such as Chris Pratt in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. While other actors have given Mario a different vocal style, it doesn’t seem that things will be changing in the video games anytime soon.
Are you happy that Martinet’s recordings will remain in Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon? Do you think Nintendo will eventually move on from the style he established? Let usknow inthecomments orshare yourthoughts directly on Twitter at @Marcdachamp to talk all things gaming!
