Before voicing Mario and Luigi, Afghani was best known for voicing Arnold in Genshin Impact. However, he also has an interesting Nintendo connection, as he also provided voice-over for the Nintendo Switch commercials. Several fans are already in love with Afghani’s take, calling him a worthy successor to Charles Martinet. Fellow voice-over talent Edward Saba especially praised his take on the younger Mario brother, Luigi:
Kevin Afghani has already been welcomed into the Mario family in a less controversial manner than the case of Chris Pratt voicing Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Some have expressed their surprise that it was not a bigger name, but others pointed out that this was the case with Martinet as well before voicing Mario. Others are even more surprised at his young age, but regardless, most see him as a worthy successor to Martiner. Super Mario Bros. Wonder jumps onto the Nintendo Switch on October 22nd!
