Nintendo’s new Star Fox game lets you play as virtual avatars of Fox and other characters.

When using GameChat, you can appear as an interactive avatar “that mirrors your expressions and movements,” Nintendo says. There are also AR filters that let you add “a pair of Star Fox-like ears or a Falco-inspired beak that moves when you talk.”

Check the avatars out in Nintendo’s Star Fox direct, or in the image and GIF below. Very silly. The game launches on June 25th.
