FULL STORY
======================================================================

We may have heard Mario and Luigis new voices in Super Mario Bros. Wonder , 
but Nintendo will not be confirming who is voicing them until the games 
release, according to Nintendo president Doug Bowser. 

Last month, it was announced that Charles Martinet, who has been the voice of 
Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and more iconic Mario series characters for 
decades, will no longer be voicing any Nintendo characters going forward . 
Instead, he will be taking on the role of Mario Ambassador, and if youre 
wondering what that means, youre not alone - Martinet recently admitted he 
doesnt know yet, himself . 

Nintendo previously confirmed that the change in voice actor is going to come 
into effect very soon, as Martinet is not involved with the upcoming Nintendo 
Switch game , Super Mario Bros. Wonder . In an interview with IGN at Nintendo 
Live in Seattle, Washington, Bowser (the president, not King Koopa) spoke 
about Martinets change in role, but also confirmed that there are currently 
no plans to reveal the identity of the new voice actor before the information 
is unveiled via Super Mario Bros. Wonder s credits. 

I think people have recognized this when they see Super Mario Bros. Wonder , 
they'll hear a different voice and we'll let that play out and that'll be 
within the credits, and people will learn who the new person is at that point 
in time, but we don't plan to make any announcement in advance of that, he 
said. 

Interestingly, this does seem to imply that one individual will be voicing 
both Mario and Luigi, much like how Martinet did up to this point. Its not 
clear if this same person will also fill in for the rest of Martinets former 
roles such as Wario and Waluigi, however.
