Although Nintendo has historically kept casting announcements relatively quiet compared to other publishers, the official reveal gives fans a clearer picture of the talent helping bring the Switch 2 entry to life.
A Cast Filled With Familiar Voice Talent
Several members of the cast will already be well known to voice acting audiences.
Mike Pollock, who voices Peppy Hare, has become one of the most recognizable names in video game voice acting through his long-running role as Dr. Eggman in Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. His career has also included numerous animation and game performances spanning more than two decades.
Rick Zieff, cast as Slippy Toad, has appeared in an extensive list of games and animated productions, with credits ranging from World of Warcraft and Call of Duty to television animation and commercial work.
Dave B. Mitchell, who voices General Pepper, is another veteran performer whose résumé includes Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Diablo, Mortal Kombat, Marvel animation, and countless additional game and animated projects.
SungWon Cho, better known online as ProZD, continues to expand his already impressive game voice acting career with the role of Falco Lombardi. Originally known for his comedy sketches and online content, Cho has since built an extensive résumé that includes major roles in Fire Emblem, Street Fighter 6, Like a Dragon, Monster Hunter Wilds, God of War Ragnarök, and numerous anime productions.
The cast also includes rising stars Aleks Le and Zeno Robinson, both of whom have become familiar voices across modern anime dubbing and video games. Their growing list of credits has made them two of the busiest performers working in the industry today.
Star Fox Returns on Nintendo Switch 2
The new title marks another chapter for one of Nintendo’s longest-running science fiction franchises.
Originally debuting on the Super Nintendo in 1993, Star Fox helped showcase early polygonal graphics while introducing players to Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team. Since then, the series has appeared across multiple Nintendo platforms, combining arcade-style space combat with memorable characters and cinematic storytelling.
While gameplay innovations have changed over the years, the personalities of the Star Fox crew have remained central to the franchise. Voice acting has become an increasingly important part of that identity, particularly since Star Fox 64, where character dialogue helped define the team’s chemistry and produced many of the series’ most memorable lines.
The Switch 2 entry continues that tradition by placing experienced performers behind each member of the core cast while introducing new interpretations of characters that longtime fans have known for decades.
Voice Acting Continues to Shape Nintendo’s Biggest Franchises
Nintendo has gradually placed greater emphasis on voice acting across many of its major series.
Franchises including The Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Super Mario Bros. have all expanded their use of fully voiced performances over the past decade. The latest Star Fox cast announcement reflects that continued investment in professional voice talent.
For voice actors, Nintendo productions often carry particular significance because the company’s characters have decades of history and passionate fan communities. Stepping into one of those roles means balancing respect for previous portrayals while helping define the character for a new generation of players.
The newly announced cast now joins that legacy as Star Fox prepares for its Nintendo Switch 2 release. For fans of the franchise, the official reveal finally answers one of the biggest remaining questions surrounding the game’s production. For voice acting fans, it also highlights another major Nintendo release featuring an accomplished lineup of performers whose work spans some of the gaming industry’s biggest franchises.
