Earlier this year Charles Martinet, who voiced Mario for decades, retired. After weeks of speculation about his replacement, Nintendo revealed the new voice actor with little fanfare. What gives?

(...)

“We want people to enjoy the gameplay experience, and if they enjoyed the voice behind the gameplay experience, that’s what's most important to us, not necessarily highlighting [Mario’s actor],” Bowser told WIRED last week.

Mario fans are either kids experiencing the magic for the first time, or 30 year olds holding back a tear because after all those years, Mario still hits that little spark left inside that makes you feel alive with nostalgia. We are too busy smiling to make death threats.

Sonic fans though, get the hex value for the color of his shoes wrong and you'll wake up with the sounds of 3 and a half people throwing feces at your window.
