Smash Bros. Ultimate version 3.1.0 adds VR mode using Labo VR Goggles

Nintendo promised version 3.1.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would come this week – but we didn’t know it would include this.

Version 3.1.0 is available now and includes a new VR mode. You will of course need the VR Goggles to use it. The VR mode is a single-player only experience, and lets you Smash in Limited, Timed, and Offline battles. You can see it in action below.

Version 3.1.0 also adds some more amiibo functionality, you’ll be able to send them off onto journeys to train them up, and also add them to Battle Arenas.
