It's amazing how the voice of one of the most iconic characters in video games was created right on the spot. I'll never forget the first time I walked by Super Mario 64 at Toys "R" Us only to hear him yell, "It's-a me! Mario!"

Video Blips:

• Charles Martinet takes us back 20 years to a simpler time when he first auditioned for the part of Mario. Now I want to know how other famous voice actors came across the right sound.

Continue after the break to see a sliver of story in Skullgirls, some of the most stylized visuals of 2012 in The Cat that Got the Milk, and a fighting game that will definitely be overlooked, Phantom Breaker.

• Looks like Skullgirls is trying to prove that it's not just for the hardcore crowd by showing off its story mode. Not the most in-depth story, but it already looks more fleshed out than some of the bigger-budget fighters.

• New indie game The Cat that Got the Milk uses visual flair to get you interested. I know many people say that gameplay is everything, but this game just looks incredible...and it's free!

• Phantom Breaker tries to remind us of its existence. A shame that it chose such a busy time for fighting games to come out.
