After Nintendo announced this &#8220;brand-new&#8221; position for Martinet, the famous voice actor has revealed he&#8217;ll be learning about it in the &#8220;future&#8221;, like everyone else:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I am now, you might have seen the news, I&#8217;m a Mario Ambassador, I don&#8217;t know what that is yet, I&#8217;m not retired as it were, but I&#8217;m an ambassador and as we step forward into the future I will learn, we&#8217;ll all learn what exactly that is but in the meantime&#8230;I&#8217;m always an ambassador of Nintendo and Mario and all of these events because I just cherish every moment of it, and I hope your love of the games continues and grows the way mine does, so thank you so much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>After mentioning this, he told the audience not to ask him questions about this new role &#8211; reiterating how he doesn&#8217;t know &#8220;anything about it&#8221;. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2023\/08\/charles-martinet-will-no-longer-be-the-voice-of-mario\">Nintendo&#8217;s original announcement<\/a>, Martinet will appear in a special video message alongside Shigeru Miyamoto in the future, so hopefully, it will be a bit clearer by then.<\/p>\n<p>As for upcoming projects like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/super_mario_bros_wonder\">Super Mario Bros. Wonder<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/warioware_move_it\">WarioWare Move It!<\/a>, it&#8217;s been confirmed by Nintendo Martinet is &#8220;not involved&#8221; in these projects. However, he will return in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/luigis_mansion_dark_moon\">Luigi&#8217;s Mansion: Dark Moon<\/a> on the Switch as it&#8217;s a re-release.
