Update: This is already available at Best Buy. It does have an “Only at Best Buy” tag though, so I suppose it won’t be an exclusive any longer come next month!

Next month, a new amiibo travel case will be sold by HORI. Amazon lists a January 21 release date.

HORI’s case features retro Mario mystery block artwork, plus clear windows to display your amiibo collection. The officially-licensed product stores up to eight figures.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai often writes columns that are featured in Famitsu. There’s a new piece in this week’s issue, and unsurprisingly, it’s dedicated to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Sakurai specifically comments on the latest DLC characters: Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta.

With Cloud, Sakurai reiterates what he said during the Smash Bros. presentation about his inclusion. He was picked as a roster addition because he’s the most popular Final Fantasy character by far.
