Nintendo fans were thrilled to hear that Mario and Luigi’s new voice actor, Kevin Afghani, shared his excitement about the release of Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Switch this week. In a recent social media post, Kevin expressed how surreal it was to hear his voice in the game, especially considering the impact the series had on his childhood. He described it as a special moment in his voice acting career.
But that’s not all – Kevin also revealed that he voiced Waluigi in the new Mario Party game. He mentioned that his experience recording lines for Waluigi was “probably the most fun” he’s ever had in a recording booth with a character. Fans of the series will be eager to hear Kevin’s take on the mischievous character.
Since taking on the role of Mario and Luigi’s voice actor last year, Kevin has also lent his voice to other Nintendo games, such as Super Mario Bros. Wonder and the WarioWare series. Meanwhile, the former voice of Mario, Charles Martinet, has transitioned into an ambassador role for Nintendo and recently made an appearance at Nintendo Live.
As fans dive into the new Mario Party game, they may find themselves pleasantly surprised by Kevin’s voice work for both Mario and Waluigi. Have you had a chance to play the game yet? What do you think of Kevin’s performance as Waluigi? Share your thoughts with us.
