i figured this was soon. new game and console coming up, might as well

I wonder if he truly chose to retire from the role himself or if Nintendo is pushing him out, especially after the drama about the movie's voice acting.

[Niku-Sama]

either way, dudes of retirement age, if they were to push him out i doubt it would be to a different position that kinda sounds like "yea your retired but we'll still pay you to do what ever at conventions"

Sounds like he was fired. Really hope they don't start using Chris Pratt.

[Aussie2B]

I think Nintendo's too cheap to use Pratt in the games. They've never valued voice acting that much.

It could give opportunity to some unknown or lesser known talents. Glad to hear, so long as it isn’t because of some tragic news.
