F-Zero Voice Actor Featured in Switch 2 Launch Title

Sure thing, let’s dive right in. So, picture this: Fast Fusion, right? It’s got this awesome dude, Jack Merluzzi, who did the F-Zero voices—talk about nostalgia. Anyway, the big news is it’s launching with Mario Kart World, smack on the heels of the Nintendo Switch 2. I can’t decide if they planned it for June just to mess with my June budget or what.

But, here’s the kicker: you can smush two race cars into some turbocharged Frankenstein on wheels. Like, whoever dreams this stuff up is either a genius or seriously needs a nap. Not gonna lie, I’m kind of into it. Mashing together machines to make some beast with supercharged stats? Yes, please.

Now, Shin’en Multimedia—these guys are, like, the unsung heroes behind Fast Fusion. They dropped a tweet saying Merluzzi is back in action. This dude’s all over the voice acting world. He’s been in Tekken, Mega Man X, and even had a gig in Castlevania. But his old school roles in F-Zero GX? Pure gold. Like, Beastman and Black Shadow? Iconic.

Oh, and plot twist: no clue who he’s voicing in Fast Fusion yet. Maybe he’s the track announcer again, but who knows? I’m just hyped to hear that charismatic ramble during a race again. It’s like comfort food for the ears.

Speaking of ears, random tangent alert: why does the sound of car tires on ice remind me of crunching wet cardboard? Is that just me? Anyway—wait, where was I?

Right, the game history bit! Fast started as this quirky WiiWare title, zoomed through Wii U with Fast Racing Neo, and managed to sprint into the original Switch lineup with Fast RMX. Critics loved that one. Expectations are sky-high now, no pressure or anything.

F-Zero fans, listen up: while the OG racers have been kind of sidelined to remakes and odd releases, Fast has weirdly filled that high-speed, futuristic void. But the Switch 2 lineup? It’s getting crowded. Besides Fast Fusion, you’ve got Mario Kart World and even F-Zero GX via the Switch Online’s GameCube flashbacks.

Man, June is gonna be wild. I mean, I’ll be light on cash but rich in racing games. Here’s hoping Nintendo doesn’t announce any more must-haves or I might need to pick up some new budgeting skills.

Keep those engines ready, folks. Fast Fusion’s coming faster than you can say, “Why didn’t I save up earlier?”
