Upon its release, the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is poised to depart from a longstanding convention that dates back to the N64 era, which includes the GameCube, Wii, Wii U, original Nintendo Switch, Game Boy, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS. This shift has left many Nintendo enthusiasts, with a special affinity for Mario, reminiscing and somewhat melancholic. Essentially, they’re feeling a sense of nostalgia tinged with sadness.
A key element that enchants the Nintendo brand isn’t just reminiscence, but a continuity that sustains the nostalgic feelings. Many of the series cherished by Nintendo enthusiasts – from the NES, SNES, GameCube, and N64 – are still being developed today. These ongoing series not only persist, but they continue to be the main intellectual properties (IP) for the brand. Titles such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, and others have been part of Nintendo consoles through the ages, both old and new. However, even a brand as steadfast in its commitment to nostalgia as Nintendo isn’t immune to the passage of time.
In 2023, it came to light that Charles Martinet, who had been voicing Mario for a long time and also other characters in the series, was leaving his role. This implies that when the Nintendo Switch 2 is released, it will be the first Nintendo console since the SNES where Charles Martinet won’t voice Mario at all, as fans are now understanding.
Starting from 2023, with the launch of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Kevin Afghani has taken over the roles previously played by Charles Martinent as Mario and other characters. For those who might not be aware.
One supporter laments, “This is disappointing to me.” Another fan echoes the sentiment regarding Veronica being replaced by Sarah as Ash, primarily due to 4Kids being replaced by a new company. However, it’s important to note that they appreciated Veronica in her role as Ash Ketchum during the late ’90s and early ’00s, but they also admire how well Sarah portrayed him too.
As a dedicated gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but get excited about the prospect of hearing Charles Martinet’s iconic voice again on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. However, it seems that this won’t be through any newly developed Mario games, but rather through various remasters, remakes, or perhaps other exciting projects that might be in the works!
Absolutely, since Mario isn’t particularly talkative or expressive, less experienced Nintendo enthusiasts might not pick up on any changes. However, for dedicated and sentimental Nintendo fans who cherish their history, this marks an exciting beginning to a fresh era.
