Twitter can be an absolutely amazing service. That said, it's not always the most reliable source of news. That's why this story is marked as a rumor; one I'm reluctant to post.

If this Twitter account, supposedly that of voice actor Charles Martinet, is real, then we have quite an interesting story on our hands. Martinet, who voices several characters for Nintendo, including Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi, dropped some major Mario-related news over the past week:

Mama Mia!!!! I'm going to Seattle this week to record a new Mario game! Woo Hooo!!!!! I can hardly wait!!!!1

Big day tomorrow! Seattle for a new Mario game! Yippee!!! And just as a joke, it's going to rain....in San Francisco tomorrow!

Awesome new Mario Game! And it's not NSMB Wii, and it's not Galaxy 2, but it's going to be crazy fun!

Even if the Twitter account is real, I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet. Martinet could always be teasing Mario Party 9.

The tweets are still there after 5 days. If they were real, chances are with a company like Nintendo, they would have been removed.

And I don't think they would release the information of a game via his twitter.

And I think Martinet has worked with the company long enough to know not to jeopardize his job like that.

And These posts look a bit immature. I've read some interviews, and I don't think he's like that.

Try watching some interviews. He's definitely on the eccentric side.

@geoffgirardin The other information on the page, however, is accurate. For example, the fact that he went to WeltKinderTag in Berlin around September 19. Why would someone go to such elaborate lengths to fool some news sites into thinking Nintendo's making a Mario game?

Isn't it pretty much expected that at any given time Nintendo's making a Mario game anyway?

I think, if this is real, it would be another Mario Party... seems 'natural'...
