    Charles Martinet Will Not Voice Mario in Super Mario Bros. Wonder

    Well wonder no more.

    Following the news that Charles Martinet, the voice of Mario since 1991, was "stepping back" from the iconic role, it was unclear whether or not Martinet's last time as Mario would be in the upcoming Switch title, Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Thankfully, we were able to find a definitive answer to that thanks to a statement issued to IGN.

    According to Nintendo's statement to IGN, Charles Martinet will not be the voice of Mario in Super Mario...

    While Martinet will no longer voice Mario going forward, he will continue to serve as a "Mario Ambassador." I can only assume that this means Martinet will now represent the Mushroom Kingdom on the global...

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
