The Voice of Mario Teases New Game

According to a collection of Twitter posts, Charles Martinet is working on a new Mario game.

Twitter followers of Charles Martinet have been clued into a new Nintendo title in the works.

Martinet, known as the voice of Mario, has apparently been in Seattle lending his voice to yet another title starring Nintendo's mascot.

It was first presumed that the title was either New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Super Mario Galaxy 2, but Martinet cleared that up in his latest post.

"Awesome new Mario Game! And it's not NSMB Wii, and it's not Galaxy 2, but it's going to be crazy fun!"

Only time will tell what title Martinet is referring to, but hopefully Nintendo will lift the veil soon.

Interesting... I'm wondering what, at this point, they'd actually need Martinet to record new voice samples for.

That's a really good point, Nick. You'd think there would only be so many Mario phrases and they'd have them all banked by now!

PB & Jason Issue 87: Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition '13

This issue of PB & Jason is about downloadable content. Specifically, Capcom fighting game DLC. If you're not familiar with Capcom and their recent fighting game issues, let me paint the picture: They've conditioned many of their fans to hold out on buying the first edition of a title, since an upgraded version with bug fixes, balance adjustments, and new characters is often on the horizon. More than that, they've locked content on discs behind pay-walls, then reacted with surprise when they learned gamers weren't happy buying a game and then being charged a second time for content already on the disc. In PB & Jason, I take a look at a serious alternative, suggesting a few benefits that could be had for all involved. Oh, and don't forget all the talk about Tales of Graces f and new, used, and backwards-compatible PlayStation 3s! Join me for the best PB & Jason for this week ever!
