Mario’s Voice Actor Moves On... Thank You Charles Martinet! | Punching Up, Episode 8

For 30 years, Charles Martinet has brought Mario to life through his incredible voice. It's the end of an era with Nintendo announcing his departure from the role. It's not all bad news as Charles will step into a brand new role Nintendo is calling the "Mario Ambassador." So, what does this mean for Mario? Could Nintendo be looking to change up the voice of the character after the success of the Mario movie? Or will we simply see new actors voicing our favorite plumber? Also, there are numerous other topics to go over. New Splatoon Amiibo are coming, and Zelda managed to raise Japan's GDP! Could the next Switch simply be called the "Super Switch"? Let's dive in.
