End of an era. Much love for Martinet and I'm happy Nintendo is still keeping him around in some sort of capacity! Hopefully this was mutual; him being in a video about it with Miyamoto feels like it probably was.

Assuming it's not him in the trailer, whoever is replacing him has done a really good job

Yeah, even listening back to it, it still sounds very much like Martinet. I didn't even realize it wasn't him.

That’s kinda crazy, I remember an early discussion video where one guy was swearing Mario’s voice was off and it wasn’t Martinet, and the other guys just shrugged it off lol.

Oh god I hope they dont get Chris Pratt to replace him...

I'll be ok with Troy Baker though.

Don’t worry, Chris Pratt is probably too expensive.

Damn, I was hoping he'd have one last ride
