Kirby Super Star returns as Kirby Super Star Ultra

A new Kirby game is headed to the DS! Well, technically it is an old Kirby game made new again. Nintendo has announced that Kirby Super Star Ultra, a remake of the SNES game Kirby Super Star will be released on September 29, 2008. (I know I said I wanted to try to only write about music games, but we can let this slide.)

Kirby Super Star Ultra is getting the super star treatment in this remake. The visuals will be tweaked and optimized, and there will be fully animated cut scenes inserted into the game. There will also be two new game modes – Revenge of the King (likely starring King Dedede) and Meta Knight Ultra (again, likely starring Meta Knight). There will also be new multiplayer functions added, in the form of three mini-games playable over local wi-fi and the ability to play the game over local wi-fi.

I’ve always loved Kirby. He’s just too adorable. I only recently got to finally play Kirby Squeak Squad, and felt that it ended too soon. Thanks to Kirby Super Star Ultra, I’ll be able to get a better Kirby-fix.
