Charles Martinet: “I can’t-a wait for you to see me flying around in my bumblebee costume!”

By Matthew Dominick by Nov 12th, '07 at 10:28pm CST

Those who preordered Super Mario Galaxy from GameStop were lucky enough to receive a message from Mr. Charles Martinet. Apparently, Mario wants you to pick up his newest game, Super Mario Galaxy, from-a the GameStop!

I came across this message last night, but I refused to post it out of spite since Charles Martinet failed to call me for my preorder reminder. I was so bothered by the snub, that I even thought about the call on the train:

  • “Why didn’t I get the message?”
  • “Did GameStop lose my preorder?”
  • “Does Mario have a grudge against me?”

And so forth. In the middle of another GameStop conspiracy thought, my phone rang. It was Mario. He really does love me!

    That’s great. I wish Samus would have called me for my copy of Metroid Prime 3 :-(

    Dude if she did, you would have just heard her breathing hehe.

    This is hilarious!
    Too bad they didn’t do this in Canada and for EB Games(as far as I know).

    That is pretty neat. He does say, “my game” and “Gamestop” too many times though.

    On another note, I’m not sure if anyone is aware of this already, and I don’t know how to suggest news info, but the Photo Channel is getting an update in December according to the Wii website.

    Wow.. umm, am I the only one who is a bit creeped out?

    And also, JAREDJR, there is a News Submit link right under the original feature section.

    Oh man. That’s the most gimmicky thing I’ve ever heard.

    AWESOME. XD

    Yeah, even thought it was purely a Gamestop ad, it was pretty neat. I think it would be cool if we got a pre-order call from characters. Just think if we pre-ordered Residen Evil games, a zombie could call us up and say, “errr-aaah, you reeeeserved Reeesident Eveeeel, I’m going to eat your brains”.
