Huh.

I mean, she certainly knew before then, given the game has been in development for ages. Pretty sure three days before launch she may have figured. That just makes it weirder that she pointedly mentioned Nintendo told her "yesterday". I guess maybe she meant they told her it's not a one-off thing and they'll go with someone else moving forward?

It sure seems the movie(s) are the new North Star for this. I noticed MK World's Donkey Kong also sounds noticeably more... Rogen-esque.

I feel like Mario Kart is a bit ambiguous, there's always the potential they could just re-use voice work from a previous entry rather than bringing all the actors in to go "Whoa! Ha-ha-ha. Luigi number one!" I don't know if they still do this, but in the N64 era a lot of the same samples were used for Mario Kart, Mario Party, maybe other stuff, so the actors wouldn't have been involved after the original recording sessions.

Or she did her sessions and they didn't use it.

I feel like she'd have said that if that was the case, since it would be unusual.
