We learned nothing new in this video about what "really happened" and like you admitted, it's just speculation and it's not worth all that much at this point, sorry.
You just saved 9 minutes of my time. Thank you
Why did people think he was even retired? Outside of Mario, he's done other voice work for various Anime's these past few years.
Nintendo's CEO has Bowser on his name
I'm not surprised they got rid of the Mario in nintendo on purpose.
I think it's pretty simple, he's getting on in age. It's just a simple calculus of it being better to find his younger replacement now than to be surprised by it in the middle of a project. Especially after what happened with Satoru Iwata. But they also probably don't want Martinet to go doing a 'Mario' like voice elsewhere and wanted to keep him out there doing the convention circuit being the face of Mario. So I'd bet he isn't fired or retired but on retainer instead. Or as they called it, an ambassador.
I mean anything is possible but I don't think it's that bad. I personally asked him when he came to Montreal Comicon 2022 what he liked doing the most and he told me "oh I love doing those voices but for me the best is really to meet fans in events" so I really think it was a mutual understanding with Nintendo that he would stop but continue being the face of mario with fans.
Charles really is a great guy, I met him in Denver 2022 at Collect A Con and he was the nicest guy. He’s coming back for Fan Expo this year too so I’m gonna have to see him again and congratulate him on his retirement.
I doubt Nintendo would actually screw a voice actor for one of their most popular characters for the past 20+ years. There's most likely no hard feelings between the 2 sides and how he likely understands and they understand that eventually they'd have to move on from him voicing Mario even if they and fans would like to move on and him being the Mario Ambassador is mainly to meet with the fans more and for him to do more voice roles outside of Mario. I feel like the Mario Movie didn't exactly play a part into changing the Mario voice it mainly showed a non Martinet Mario voice can work
The article is available for you to read for yourself in the video description
@@vanburen20 Why don't YOU read that article you're so proud and eager to link people to, and tell me where it says what you're so sure it says? Because having read that article myself, I know you can't do that.
@ImportAustralia he cited parts of the article didnt he?
@@funnfungusie9622 he did but cited him being a Mario ambassador as Nintendo fired him as Mario and he ain't done voice acting but he'll never voice another Nintendo character ever again which we don't know both what a Mario ambassador is and if he isn't allowed to voice Nintendo characters ever again.
@@funnfungusie9622 Read the damn article yourself, will you? NOWHERE does it say what he says it's saying.
The dictionary defines "ambassador" (in the corporate sense) as: "a person who acts as a representative or promoter of a specified activity." His position as "Mario Ambassador" just means that he's going to keep traveling the world doing the convention circuit/meet and greets, only now Nintendo will be paying him to do so. This way even though he's no longer voicing Mario they can keep him around for advertising/promotion.
We don't know why he left, but my best guess is that he's getting older and we don't know how much time we have left with him. For context Charles Martinet was born the same year as Kevin Conroy, and we lost Kevin roughly a year ago to cancer.
I make a lot of corporate videos for companies and often work with voice actors. Some of which, have also worked with Nintendo. I know for a fact that it's very cheap to hire Charles Martinet. You can even hire him to do your CZcams intro. I suspect that Charles was severely underpaid all these years. Probably earning less than 250,- for a game. Nintendo is changing because the Switch is a major success, which means they're simply stopping doing things they did it before and they're increasing the budgets drastically.
Wow a lot of people in these comments who think Nintendo could never do anything wrong.
It's crazy isn't it
@@vanburen20 It is. I understand Nintendo have brought a lot of great times to a lot of people, but they're still a massive corporation, bound to investors and shareholders and ultimately driven by profit. I 100% believe making Chris Pratt the voice of Mario was profit motivated. Thanks to guardians of the galaxy etc. he is a well known by kids and definitely would be a draw.
I also don't really believe the age thing. Most of Nintendo's top people are in their 70s. Seems hypocritical to fire someone 10 years their junior for being too old.
I hate Nintendo Bootlickers.
I believe Nintendo felt like Charles had too much power in Nintendo and the fact he was in another movie a dragon ball movie that is bigger than Mario made them jealous. Hence, they wanted to fire him for Mario but wanted to be nice about it to us so they made him an ambassador.
He’s been with the company since 1991 with his voice acting debut in Super Mario Bros Pinball published by Gottlieb in 1992.
i think Nintendo just wanted to replace most of the voice cast with new voice actors, kinda like how sega went through different voice cast with the sonic games
It's so sad to see
@vanburen20 i also think that Nintendo wants to take the super mario series into a bit of a new direction and part of that new direction is new voice actors and i think that due to the super mario bros movie was the start of the new direction they wanted to take the series in and i believe we will never saving peach ever again in new mario bros games
Heyy, subbed over from Jobst.
I really like your personality but the pacing is drawn out in a way that feels more frustrating and boring than a pleasant anticipation feeling for me personally.
Would have liked to see that article come in before the 1 minute mark instead of just shy of minute 4.
No hate at all just something constructive about my personal taste at least
Thanks for the feedback
Knowing Nintendo's track record of how they handle something they don't like (all the times they throw their copyrights around) , I could very likely see them doing this to him
(Also, sometimes NDAs can have expiration dates ... doubtful here of course)
Ok, can I just say that I'm pretty sure Martinet didn't have a problem with not voicing his Mario and Luigi in the Mario movie. And I remember hearing about that he wasn't going to be voicing them before we got the release date and the cast of the movie. And I understood why because Mario and Luigi don't talk that much in their games, and I didn't have a problem with the cast of the Sonic movie. And since it's the beginning of a new year, I still do not like the new guy, and did Nintendo stop and think, did we even want a new voice for Mario in the Mario video games? Plus, Nintendo didn't even give a specific reason why Mario needed a new voice in the video games, and I doubt it's because of the new movie or the fact that Charles Martinet is old. Also, I agree that just being the "Mario Ambassador" is Nintendo's way of letting Martinet go, especially if he doesn't know what a Mario Ambassador is, so why would he agree to be it if he doesn't know what it is? Basically, being the Mario Ambassador means he's just doing what he's always been doing when he was still voicing mario. Meeting and greeting people, signing autographs, answering Q&As, he's just doing what he's always done when he's not voice acting. This whole thing is Bullshit! I think if Nintendo is doing this for no specific reason, then we should do something about it #BringbackMartinet!
This is really pathetic and sad lol. You think he wanted to sit there and go 'me a Mario' until he drops dead?
As soon as I heard I felt weird about it something bad happened behind the scene ni doubt on that
Ok, I love Chris Pratt and I'm happy that he got to live out his dream to be Super Mario's voice but this whole thing just seems a teeny bit shady and way out of character for Nintendo. Charles IS getting on in years and I can imagine the concern from Nintendo towards Charles if there is some health related things going on that we don't know about yet. Also reading the comments down below, if it's anything to do with concern for the health of their own employees in the future than I can understand why our dear Mr. Miyamoto went with these decisions. In the workforce when you reach the age of 60+ years in some countries you are entitled to some kind of senior benefit within your job or you are forced to retire with an additional money compensation.
I've always thought cartoons,anime,movies and video games have their own voices for characters to keep them all separate,is that not how it works? o.O I've thought this all my life,which is why I didn't question the movie voices
Charles will always be Mario! The movie voice rule was robbed from him.
Japanese companies are always great backstabbers.
Nintendo is the new Konami.
I stand with Charles Martinet.
@@Pidove727 No Martinet = No Buy
@@donutsama285Just like Disney and Netflix, they don't need our money : the globalist agenda comes first.
Speaking about other voice actor roles, Martinet was the voice of Paarthurnax in Skyrim.
I dont think there is much of a conspiracy, i think nintendo doesnt want to standardize mario voice anymore and will change the voice based on the individual project. This would be easier by not using charles anymore or every movie coming out with a different voice would cause controversy like it already did. In a way, this does "force retirement" on charles but i dont think it is not intended as a means to screw over Charles, it is just time for nintendo to go a different direction. I think Charles isnt happy about it but he doesnt seem very angry or negative about it either, which might confirm my theory that nintendo said "nothing personal, we just need to do things differently." Just my guess.
Nothing personal Charles, but here is the rope and stole.. please stand on it we will push it for you.. good bye Charles, nothing personal we hope your eternity in the 3DS eshop is a blissful one
I hate that he not going to voice actor Mario and other characters in the Mario games. I pray that things get better for him tho. Keep up the success on your channel bro.
When he does come to my town I'm going to give him the biggest hug ever and thank you for my entire childhood and I will get him to sign my Nintendo switch dock as a reminder❤
I think nintendo let him go. Because he is in his late 60's, and they did not want to wait until the day he dies to find a new voice actor.
Found you bc of Karl, you're a pretty cool dude. Keep doing you bro.
Might be to do with possible upcoming pay structure changes. Voicing an entire cast for a game would probably make him serious bank, but also mandatory break times etc being added might drag out production times.
Having one dude do the whole cast was a novel idea back in the day but I guess it's not something they want to continue.
But if that was the reason, they could have still had him voice Mario and just add new VAs for the other characters.
So he isn't retired but he isn't fired, he's just getting a different position.
Someone who goes to Comic Cons to take photos and autographs isn't necessarily a job position in my opinion
This is just false information.
Lou Albano will always be the original Mario voice for me
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is out now.... ): I miss Charles Martinet.
I think Charles Martinet got fired and here is why:
- He said in 2021 that he wanted to voice Mario until he died
- He didn’t know What being a Mario Ambassador meant
I just can’t picture for myself that Charles Martinet retired as the voice of the character he has voiced for 32 years and he has loved that more than anything and Even said he wanted to do this until he died, and he is gonna give that up just to become an ambasssdor for the character.
He didn't actually say that.
Here's the full quote: “I want to voice Mario until I drop dead … If someday I think I am no longer capable of doing it, I will tell Nintendo to look into finding someone else.”
@@PianistTanooki it is some of what i said. But anyways, when he said ''if someday i think i am no longer capable of doing it, i will tell Nintendo to look Into finding someone else'', it sounded like it was going to happen in a long time and not in 2 years.
But i respect his decision. He voiced Mario from 1991 to 2023, and the Mario Ambassador title was something he earned and deserved for voicing Mario for 32 years. At the time i wrote the first comment, i hated Kevin Afghani's voice and just wanted Charles back. But i have gotten a bit more used to Kevin.
I think Nintendo may want to start doing something similar to what Sega did in the past with Sonic and every now and then change VA for Mario if they don't go the AI route as many are fearing they did
Charles isn't Mario. Thinking he is, that's the failicy I keep seeing. 25+ years voice acting the same gig is pretty amazing, but that doesnt give him exclusive rights to the character. And the in game voice acting is primarily sound clips, so a majority of gamers wont even notice any difference from this change (heck I wouldnt be surprised if the new sound clips were AI Generated instead of needing to pay a voice actor).
Charles isn't the original voice of Mario either. He was the first to voice the character in an official Nintendo game, but Mario had a voice outside his games for several years before Charles. Walker Boone, Peter Cullen, Larry Moran, Bob Hoskins, and Lou Albano gave a voice to the character well before Charles.
I support Nintendo's decision. Thanks for the work Charles, but time to move on to the next chapter.
Here charles.. here is the rope, nothing personal old man.. just put around your neck charles , thank you for bringing this character to life , nothing personal .. hey stand on that latter we will just give it a push.. oopsy .. good bye charles … may your eternity in the 3DS shop in the sky be blissful , GET REAL DUDE nintendo screwed him for AI
These Martinet conspiracy theories ain’t it. You haven’t changed at all.
Feel free to read the article yourself in the video description
I read every word of the article and not a word of it supports this conspiracy theory you are peddling.
Clueless as ever, vanburen. And just like you were with Billy, you can't offer any real rebuttals against anyone challenging your narrative. You are not "a nice guy who was misled", you're your own flavor of conman taking part in baseless conspiracy theories and WILD jumping to conclusions.
I hope Charles comes to Ottawa , Canada.
Charles is going to Comic Cons and conventions to take autographs and photos like he's been doing for the last decade
Charles was exposed by billy Mitchell
the most pointless video i've seen
well thats sad to hear :/
well looks like I called it
I always thought he just retired but I don't know
My guess is it's just he's retired from doing his Mario roles and he is still voice acting
He openly said he wanted to voice Mario till the day he dies. Nintendo made him stop
We should go on strike and stop buying Mario games till they hire him back.
such a game hater
Not going to happen.
Nintendo still sucks regardless. It has always sucked since the Wii U era and you can’t do anything to change my mind. What Nintendo is doing is nostalgia bait.
You know what I ment.
🔥💪🔥👀🔥👀🔥💪🔥👀
Some of this is upsetting
I agree
I like how people are like "they needed chris pratt so the movie would sell more", as if mario as a character isn't the most well known and best-selling video game character of all time. (some british film academy says it's laura croft, but that's not remotely true. why you'd take a british film academy's opinion on who's the most popular video game character is beyond me, btw)
I'm distracted by Mario stepping on that spiny. That 1UP will not get to him in time.
