I think the Charles Martinet and the mystery of the new Mario voice is pretty simple. Nintendo just don't want anybody associating a real person with their character. They want the character to exist independently of some guy. They aren't promoting the new voices because they don't want any focus on them, and I would wager that they will not keep one guy for any particular character voice for more than a few main entries, and swap them out without announcement from now on. They want Mario to be larger than life, but Mario can never be larger than Charles Martinet for a lot of fans, in the same way that The Joker can never be larger than Mark Hamill.

yes, that all makes sense for the mario voice! the mystery isn't why there's a new voice or who it is. the mystery is why bother to "retire" a person and make a big deal out of it rather than just replace them, why make all this pomp and circumstance.
