Star Fox<\/a> for Switch 2 comes loaded with all sorts of features and if you happen to have an amiibo on hand, you’ll be able to receive some extra in-game goodies.<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s Japanese website goes into detail about this compatibility, confirming you’ll unlock exclusive backgrounds and emblems when you place an amiibo on the Joy-Con 2 or Switch 2 Pro Controller analog stick.<\/p>\n

The figures highlighted on the same page include the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a> amiibo Fox, Falco and Wolf. Here’s a glimpse of some of the emblems and backgrounds you can unlock:<\/p>\n
