Earlier today we made mention of the North American Star Fox Zero teaser site. There isn’t too much that can be found there, but a couple of interesting references have been found.

Take a look at this excerpt from the very bottom of the page:

Game, system and amiibo sold separately. Compatibility and functionality of amiibo may vary by game. Visit amiibo.com for specific details on how each amiibo works.

Broadband Internet access required for online features. For more info, go to support.nintendo.com.

Shigeru Miyamoto has previously teased amiibo support for Star Fox Zero, so its inclusion wouldn’t be overly surprising. Online play was tentatively ruled out at E3, but Miyamoto left the door open to the possibility.
