The latest issue of Famitsu has another column from Masahiro Sakurai. Rather than writing about Smash Bros., he chose to focus on another topic: virtual reality.

Sakurai discusses the scene of virtual reality in quite broad terms, like dizziness and the reluctance to wear goggles. He himseslf received an Oculus Rift DK2, and says that you can test many sample software from the Oculus website.

“It is very enjoyable,” he wrote. “Amazing! Everything that comes into view, the game world. The feeling is really different compared to a usual game.”

Sakurai also says in his piece:

VR goggles are like a TV, so it should be up to developers to freely decide what content is projected. At the same time, however, developers should properly consider how to overcome dizziness and negative factors. If games and 3D worlds are just blindly turned into VR, the future looks slim.

Best Buy is now taking pre-orders for the Super Mario amiibo series. Toad, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, and Yoshi figures can be reserved here. There’s no telling how long they will be in stock for, sadly!

3D Steets of Rage 2 doesn’t seem exist yet. That’s why it’s peculiar how the game has been rated over in Australia. Could 3D Steets of Rage 2 be happening at some point?

GameStop is running a promotion in which consumers can obtain $100 for their 3DS XL units and $75 for 3DS/2DS units towards the purchase of a New 3DS XL (through February 15). There’s just one issue: transferring data from one 3DS system to another requires both systems, and can take a decent amount of time to complete.

With that in mind, Polygon spoke with a few GameStop locations in Ohio and learned that there’s a plan in place for the situation. Here’s the full rundown:

1. Go to GameStop. Purchase a $200 New 3DS XL
2. Take your system home, go through the transfer process
3. Take your existing system and your new system back to GameStop
4. Return your new system for a full refund of $200
5. Trade-in your existing system for $100
6. Rebuy your New 3DS XL, use the $100 credit to pay for half the purchase

Not the easiest process in the world, but at least it’s something!
