...Luigi!Oh wow, that's pretty bad. I remember Luigi's Mansion 3 using some MK8 lines for Peach in the intro and they just did not work.
Right?
Like, I know it's not really a big deal at all when it comes to Mario games. Voice recycling has been done for ages.
But I dunno, I always think it's a shame. I'm almost certain Rosalina's VA hasn't recorded any new lines since MK8 either - potential Tour alts notwithstanding.
I feel seen. People understandably don't care about the recycling, but it gets kinda noticeable when a character is unable to be contextually voiced in certain instances, like Peach in LM3, and can only rely on a voice bank of generic noises.
Frankly, having a new Mario Strikers drop after 15 years that relies entirely on old ass voice clips (when the previous entries were known for their very contextual voice work) had me at my limit. The animations are incredible, but I feel like there's a limit on how much mileage you can get in animation off of decades old grunts and short phrases.
And yes, I definitely think you're right about Rosalina as well. It suuucks.
