FortuneCookie 08/21/23 11:09:51 AM #51:	Chris Pratt won't be the ongoing voice of Mario. It isn't as simple as doing a celebrity guest voiceover. Mario sometimes receives multiple games within a single year. There's no way that Nintendo could pull Chris Pratt away from Hollywood for that kind of commitment. I like Charles Martinet, but the voice that he gave Mario doesn't work for lengthy stretches of dialogue. Having a new voice actor opens up doors for greater storytelling and character development. (Of course, that's what got Sonic in trouble.) <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:975573341] in Charles Ma... [t:80542563]...</cite> <quote>Chris Pratt won't be the ongoing voice of Mario.

Kinda weird they don't want to cite how many years exactly, but this guy's voice has been Mickey Mouse/Bugs Bunny recognizable. Even if we date him to SM64, he's been at it over then span many of us were in elementary school, to now being adults ourselves. Crazy for anyone who ended up working for Nintendo.

Maybe he's just old and wants to chill.</quote>People always assume the worst. I highly doubt Nintendo forced him to retire. By all accounts he's a great guy and his Mario voice is probably the most iconic voice in video games. Why the hell would Nintendo ever want to get someone else? I saw someone suggest that maybe he has a possible health issue. Could be that. Or maybe he just wants to retire. He's obviously earned it. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
