“Star Fox Zero"s Amiibo Functionality Detailed
Fox and Falco Amiibos Unlock Exclusive Content
"Star Fox Zero" is only a few weeks away from finally being released, and Nintendo have not only revealed a couple of new details for it, but a new trailer has been released as well, which you can check out at the bottom of the article.
According to Nintendo, you'll be able to unlock some cool, little extras should you have a Fox or Falco amiibo. The Fox one will unlock a retro Arwing from the original SNES game. It also changes the background music but it can only be used in the first stage of the game, which is a bit disappointing. The Falco amiibo, however, unlocks a Black Arwing that boasts powerful weapons but weaker defenses.
Nintendo have also confirmed that "Star Fox Zero" includes a demo for the accompanying spin-off title "Star Fox Guard." It can be accessed via the main menu and save data can be transferred to the full version should you buy it. "Star Fox Guard," which has you use the GamePad to defend bases from swarms of enemy robots, can be downloaded via the eShop. You can even save money if you've already purchased "Star Fox Zero." The same offer applies vice-versa.
Both titles will be released on April 22 for the Wii U.
