It is now fall, but they only missed...

    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...

    Mario Silent as Charles Martinet Leaves Iconic Role

    It's the end of an era as Martinet says goodbye to Mario.

    Charles Martinet is "stepping back" as the voice of Mario after having voiced the mustached plumber since 1991. Nintendo confirmed the news with an announcement shared on Twitter earlier today.

    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...

    Starfield Preloads Begin August 17

    Why yes, that's tomorrow!

    Bethesda and Microsoft have confirmed to the world that Starfield has gone gold! Before digital downloads became prevalent, going gold indicated that a game was ready to be sent off for mass production of physical copies. These days? It mostly just means that the game is done, typically free of major bugs, and can be played from start to finish.

    Starfield will reportedly have a physical disc release, so the antiquated form of gone gold still actually...

    Get that Premium Edition and play three days early!

    Looks like the latest growing trend with game releases is to offer a more expensive Premium or Gold or whatever edition that grants you access to a game a few days ahead of its official release.

    Starfield did it with their $99.99 (USD) Premium Edition. Today, Payday 3 is doing an "Early Access" release with their Silver and Gold editions. Diablo 4 did the same thing earlier in the year, as did Madden NFL 24,...

    I think it's kind of dumb that people get to play earlier. Spending more shouldn't offer a "head start" on other paying customers.
