The idea of no voice acting in Nintendo games was alway something borne out of financial stubbornness. In short, it raises the costs of development. You also increase the file size of the game to epic proportions. Nintendo has avoided it because they don't want to spend the money.
But having said that, at this point, I'm not sure their current IP needs it outside of Zelda and that game only needs it for NPCs. I feel like giving Mario a voice was a bad idea. Back in the 80's, us kids imagined him as he was... a 40 something Italian man trapped in the Mushroom Kingdom. When Super Mario 64 came out, all of a sudden he sounded like a deranged lunatic high on LSD and helium. Luigi now sounds like he's suffering from Down's Sydrome... it's just weird.
So I vote no for old IP and maybe for anything new they put out.
