    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In an interview with IGN, Nintendo of America’s president, Doug Bowser, said that the company doesn’t plan on revealing Charles Martinet’s replacement until folks roll credits on Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

    Last month, Nintendo announced that Martinet, the longtime voice of video games’ most iconic character, would be stepping back from the role to instead be what it’s calling a Mario Ambassador.

    Nintendo also said that a special message from Martinet and Shigeru Miyamoto would be forthcoming, hopefully to explain what a Mario Ambassador is and to reveal who’s taking over the reigns or… plunger, as it were.

    According to a report from Polygon, Hayter said that the decision wasn’t his choice but conceded that the game’s director, Hideo Kojima, should always get the final say.

    Seemingly in response, Bayonetta’s game director and PlatinumGames’ vice president, Hideki Kamiya, tweeted, “Sad and deplorable about the attitude of untruth.” Shortly after that, a report from Bloomberg disputed Taylor’s version of events, and the actress walked back some of her statements.

    In the GalaxyCon Q&A, Martinet also said that he still has great love of the role and that he looks forward to learning along with fans what being a Mario Ambassador means in the future.
