Nintendo Japan says scanning Fox, Falco, or Wolf Smash amiibos in the Switch 2 Star Fox remake unlocks special emblems and backgrounds for your Battle Banner, which are displayable during online matches. The announcement appears on Nintendo's official Japanese website and confirms amiibo compatibility for the remake. Original Star Fox creator and character designer Takaya Imamura said he preferred how Fox looked in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie compared with the remake's new design. The amiibo bonuses give collectors visible customization in matches, and Imamura's comment highlights how legacy creators' preferences can influence how players view character redesigns.
