He is extremely talented as a voice actor. And it's great that he enjoys his work. With other voice actors, you can't really tell, but he genuinely looks like he enjoys his job.

princejb1344619d ago

he definitely loves his job
i bet he gets millions for just doing voice acting for mario

Kee4619d ago

Yeah, nintendo are gonna be screwed when he retires.

princejb1344619d ago

@ kee

not necessarily
mario doesn't really talk much
he uses the same phrases over and over again so they just have to record those 50 or so words mario does and just drop it in the game at the right moment

Excited2play4619d ago

Yeah you can really tell he loves his job. I never knew he did all those other Nintendo voices.

Cool video!!

"When Mr Miyamoto would walk past the camera, I would say [in Mario's voice] 'Papa! Hello!'"

Haha! I don't know why, but I find that very cute.

laaakokaracha4619d ago

Nice guy!

Some voice actors could learn a lot from him...starting with having passion for what you do!

Titanz4619d ago

Should keep you very humble(which he is).

Super Mario 64 DS: Remakes Done Right

Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.

Chard17h ago

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen16h ago

Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.

kevco3315h ago

Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

If they ever did I hope they would add onto it, there's so much you could do with Princess Peach's castle alone

roadkillers84d ago

Or just make the Mario 128... the cancelled sequel that sounded amazing (or was it just an amazing tale).

fr0sty84d ago

Funny that after all these years, we still use 64 bit CPUs, so it wouldn't make sense to call it that.

fr0sty84d ago

Yeah, a straight remake doesn't sound good to me. Same formula, but different game.

Number1TailzFan85d ago

Each level is pretty small today in the original game, I don't like huge levels but I think they could be at least 2x bigger, or close to it and more of them, with more things to do.

They could do a mix of having open levels and more linear ones like in 3D World or Land, I doubt they will do that but it would make a change.

Neonridr84d ago

I mean Odyssey's levels weren't massive, but requiring you to do different things in each world is what made the levels feel bigger than they were.

ZeekQuattro85d ago

I'd prefer a Oydessey 2 or Galaxy 3. Besides the DS
game was a Mario 64 remake complete with more playable characters, stages, bosses and muti player content.

Cacabunga84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

I did not like Odyssey i found the idea of ot lame.. i find it boring to just look for moons instead of exploring and enjoying the levels. Let’s not talk about the extremely repetitive and ridiculously easy bosses. Level design is so meh most of the time. Galaxy 2 is a far better game so Galaxy 3 anytime!!!

TiredGamer84d ago

Agreed. I enjoyed Odyssey for a while, but it quickly became very formulaic where each level felt like a checklist of things to do with WAY too many moons to find. The Galaxy series were the best, as they took some of what made 64 great and juiced it up perfectly.

Lolly84d ago

Yes! Let's release an almost 30 year old game to kick off the next generation for Nintendo...
I'm over re-releases...FEED ME NEW MARIO!
