I see we have two different opinions here lol. Voices/SFX are nice, if they have a special meaning to the game or the music. However, I don't think they should be included on the soundtrack CD. For example, I think the very first Pokémon soundtrack for Red and Blue/Green featured all the Pokémon sfx from the PokéDex, and it was really annoying and total waste of space in my opinion. On the other hand, FFX OST features two short voice snippets from Tidus and Yuna - but only in Japanese. It's nice - if you understand that language (I don't). For Mario, I think it's cool they included the famous line on the OST, but I don't need all that Mario shouts and other bleeps. If I want that, I would play the game.
