Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition

[Demon_Skeith]

It's hard to find anyone talking about the normal, six-year-old original Wii here at E3 2012, as Nintendo's focus has entirely shifted toward the release of Wii U later this year. But that doesn't mean the current console has nothing new on the horizon itself – in fact, it's still got one more Kirby game on the schedule before everything turns to U.

"Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition" is its name, and you'll be able to pick up your copy in stores this September. This is the final branding and time frame Nintendo has given to the 20th anniversary collection of classic Kirby games announced earlier this year, to celebrate the Pink Puffball's two full decades of service in supplying floating, smiling fun to Nintendo fans.

Nintendo's still not talking about just which classic Kirby games will be making the cut for this Wii disc, but with its release now confirmed to be only three months away we shouldn't have to wait too much longer to get that list. Likely candidates include those titles that have already been re-released previously on Wii via the Virtual Console service – Kirby's Adventure from the NES, Kirby's Dream Land 3 from the SNES and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards from the Nintendo 64 are just three of the many possibilities.

I'm getting a little tired of these kirby rereleases. Why can't they just make a new game based on the old ones?

Damn, I was hoping for a new one...

Well they did have Return to Dreamland released a couple months back if that's what you meant for "new game based off the old games." Personally, I like the idea of the Dream Collection since I still haven't purchased these possible titles from the Virtual Console. Who knows, maybe Nintendo will up the graphics a bit or toss in a soundtrack compilation similar to Mario Super Stars a while back.

I've only ever played that Kirby game for the DS where you draw and stuff, so I'm really looking forward to this. I didn't exactly want to spend much money on Kirby games, so this is cool.

That was like one of the worst Kirby games, Kirby Super Star would have been a much better choice for the DS.

Ha, now this is something i'd be interested in. I have been a long-time fan, despite the fact that some games were rather easy. Anyway, Kirby never gets old, so let's hope for more games.

Haven't played Kirby in a while, I miss it though. Kirby's Dreamland. :happy:
