So coming to record efforts from that.

Yeah, it's definitely, you know, sad that somebody that's doing something they love is no longer able to do that. Like that sucks, right? Like essentially this is not a layoff, but it's the equivalent of like somebody lost their job. We've moved on. And that's such a bummer. It is, you know, an opportunity for somebody new.

And I do feel like that is a trend that we've seen recently, whether it's, I mean, we'll see what the persona stuff, but like. With Persona 3 remake, Barracuda's bringing up, like, yeah, they were able to give a new generation an opportunity to be a new generation of players, versions of these characters.

It is a little bit more weird with these Mario characters based on how little they actually talk. Having said that, I don't think that the quantity of voice matters as much as, I don't want to say the quality, but, like, the impact. Like, Charles Martinet as Mario... he is why we say let's go the way we do. Like, I don't think Mario's tagline would include the a in it, you know, let's go. Yeah.

If it wasn't for him. And so it's that weird thing of like, that sucks that these people that have these like iconic moments are, are defining features of these characters are being replaced, but that's also kind of part of the legacy. I think, I don't know. It's, I can see two sides to this, but I do think that the majority of it is like, it sucks. She wanted to keep doing it. It can't do it.

It could be. It could be. I saw somebody in the chat say, SLC something, I think, say that they're going to be replaced with AI. I doubt that because of how Nintendo's been doing things, and they did replace Mario with a real voice actor. I imagine that it is a real voice actor. I do wonder why, though. What is the decision to do this? Yeah.

Exactly. And in a lot of ways, we're in that transition period with Nintendo where Nintendo are the, at this point, longest running of the...

big three right like you know playstation came in the 90s xbox came in the early 2000s but nintendo's been around in since the 80s they're the last remaining ones from back then and that means that that first class post you know video game like fucking explosion in in the early 80s of miyamoto and all these like classic designers like this is probably their last generation so they're

their influence will still be there, and still is there, but to see a new group, obviously, rest a piece of water and stuff, but it's been a while since that, but even with Reggie gone on the America side, Doug Bowser's been there a long time, but it's going to be interesting to see how they present their directs going forward, and how they present their IP and their content.
