With the morning's news that Charles Martinet is retiring / being retired from the voice of Mario, I can't shake a sense of deja vu with James Earl Jones selling the rights to his Vader voice so it can be created via AI. Prediction: because Nintendo has 30 years worth of Martinet's voice recordings, the next Mario will be an AI Martinet.
