    Unfortunately, it seems Wario got the short end of the stick. Wario’s voice in the new WarioWare trailer is very noticeably different.

      I miss the Mario Kart 64 Wario. Never was a fan of the deeper voice in later games.

      Same goes for Toad. Bring back the MK64 Toad. I’m tired of the two-packs-a-day Toad we have now.

      Oh yeah, you’re right. I’m sure it will get better with time, or we’ll just get used to it.

      Roger Craig Smith’s initial voice for Sonic in Promos was awful, but it was serviceable by the time the first game came out.

        I don’t think Roger Craig Smith is bad, and I think it works well for the modern Boost era. Being said, Ryan Drummond will always be my Sonic.
