Charles Martinet still loves doing the Mario voice, doesn’t know what a Mario Ambassador is yet

He’s still a-him Years ago I met Charles Martinet at E3. We shot a quick video where I said “It’s a-you?” and he shrieked “It’s a-me!” in the voice. I was so taken aback that I said “Holy Sh*t!” – He immediately took me aside and asked me not to post the video, as it would be inappropriate for children. We ended up posting it anyway, with my swear bleeped out, and it was a cute, hopefully inoffensive bit of fun....

Damn you, Japan! It’s Game Center CX 3 on 3DS!

Where’s our Retro Game Challenge 2!? I’m still extremely sore thatRetro Game Challenge 2was never localized. Theoriginal game, based off the brilliant Japanese “Let’s Play before Let’s Plays were a thing” TV programGame Center CX, was a retronaut’s dream — a collection of old-school, NES-styled parodies played from the perspective of a typical 80s gamer child.
