how to do local multiplayer star fox switch 2

Yes—on Star Fox for Switch 2 , local multiplayer is done through Campaign Co-op: Local or Battle Mode , depending on what you want to play.

How to set it up

For couch co-op in the story , start from the main menu, choose Campaign , then select Co-Op: Local.

When prompted, split the Joy-Con 2s and assign one player as Pilot and the other as Gunner.

Controls

• Pilot: holds the Joy-Con 2 horizontally to fly the Arwing.

• Gunner: uses Mouse Mode by holding the controller with the sensor facing the ground, then dragging and clicking to aim and shoot.

Other local options

If you want a versus-style local session, Battle Mode supports local play and is listed as a 4v4 mode.

For co-op, though, the shared-ship setup is the main local multiplayer path, not split-screen separate ships.

Fast setup checklist

1. Launch the game and open Campaign.

2. Pick Co-Op: Local.

3. Pair both controllers when prompted.

4. Assign one player to Pilot and the other to Gunner.

5. Start the mission and play together on one screen.

Notes

Local co-op is designed for two people in the same room on one system.

If you were expecting classic split-screen versus play, that does not appear to be the local campaign setup here.

TL;DR: For local multiplayer, go to Campaign → Co-Op: Local , then split the Joy-Con 2s, with one player flying and the other shooting.
