An Interview with Charles Martinet

That Gaming Site writes: "You may not be entirely familiar with his name or for that matter any of his other works but as the voice of one of videogames most iconic characters, Charles Martinet vocal talents are instantly recognisable by gamers and non-gamers alike. The character in question? Mario but we can't forget all the other characters of the Mushroom Kingdom. Other famous credits include the underappreciated bother Luigi, arch nemesis Wario, the misunderstood Waluigi and of course the infant versions of the famous plumbers. If you've played any Mario game in the last decade, then chances are you've been subject to his talents."

Reading Martinet's responses about the new Mario game kinda makes me want to try it out.

raiden_935954d ago

This guy has a pretty bizzare resume leading up to being the voice of Mario and a pretty outdated website.

Elven65954d ago

I find it kinda funny that he did stuff for Microsoft in the 90s.

http://www.charlesmartinet....

And yes that site is horribly outdated and stuck in the 90s!

He also did The Twelfth Night, just finished reading that a few days ago, a Thespian!

raiden_935954d ago

Interesting little fact: Charles Martinet is featured in upcoming PSP re-release Shadow Of Memories as well as a couple of other non-Mario games.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest983d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__983d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic983d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh983d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51983d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos983d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz983d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183983d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh

Super Mario U is a great one that reminds me alot of Super Mario World on snes. When ran in 4k@60fps on pc, it's hard not to love it.

89% Metacritic another stellar creative game.

SkatterBrain2443d ago (Edited 2443d ago )

Well if Little Big Planet went 3d with Dreams then I guess marios going 3D maker next, looking forward to that

King_Noctis2443d ago (Edited 2443d ago )

I think going forward it would be redundant to have another NSMB game on the Switch as the Mario Maker series can accomplish almost anything the NSMB series have level-wise.

jjb19812443d ago

Could you imagine a Mario 64 maker? Phenomenal.

Jin_Sakai2441d ago (Edited 2441d ago )

I’d rather have a Zelda Maker. The dungeon builder on the new upcoming Zelda: Links Awakening looks like a testing ground.

Aonuma hinted at the possibility of Chamber Dungeons evolving into a Zelda Maker game in an interview with Kotaku during E3. Reporter Jason Schreier asked Aonuma directly if a Zelda Maker was in the cards, to which Aonuma replied:

“I can’t predict the future, but if people do love this idea of arranging dungeons, I’ll keep that in mind going forward.”
