Charles Martinet

Last week, Great Big Story shared a short but sweet video about Charles Martinet, the man behind the voice of Mario, Luigi, and so many other Nintendo/Super Mario characters.

Here it is:

Meet @CharlesMartinet. You might not recognize him, but you've definitely heard him. He's the voice of your favorite video game plumber. pic.twitter.com/pQNNBV0iLU

Animal Crossing x Fueki collab.

Today, Nintendo announced a special collaboration for Animal Crossing in Japan, with Fueki’s Doubtsu Nori (glue pots). The collaboration will have two “parts”:

• from February 1st to May 1st, Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo players will be able to call Noribou (Fueki’s mascot character) to their camping site as a special guest, via the internet. Naturally, Noribou will come with some exclusive furniture (10 of them), that you will be able to purchase (up to 3 per day);
• in February, Fueki will release a special set of Doubtsu Nori, with pots shaped like Animal Crossing characters (Isabelle, KK Slider, and Digby). They will cost 750 Yen + taxes.

Fun fact: the collaboration is called Doubutsu no Nori, which is a pun on Doubutsu no Mori (the Japanese name of the Animal Crossing series, which literally means Animal Forest). Doubutsu Nori could be translated as Animal Glue (though obviously, it’s not made of anything remotely animal).
