The extended remake is said to be very extended.
Kirby’s Return To Dreamland Deluxe was regarding the Nintendo Direct announced in September. As the release date approaches, more information is leaking out regarding the expanded remake of the Nintendo Wii Titles from 2011 through. That’s how it should be Kirby have new copying abilities in the new edition. Other innovations are new multiplayer options, new modes and in the end a completely new epilogue will follow!
The sandman is coming!
Not for long and soon we will be able to relive the old adventure in the form of an extended remake. According to HAL Laboratory target Kirby get new copy skills. Kirby takes on the properties of opponents or objects that he swallows. We might already see the new mecha ability in the trailer. Another option is said to be the sand ability, with which Kirby should be able to protect themselves by building a sandcastle. He can also throw sand in the eyes of opponents with this ability. How mean! (To see the photos, just click the “pic” link.)

Dangerous rain dance
Another of the new attacks is said to be the “Festival” ability. Anyone who remembers the dance performances of Kirby Star Allies remembers who knows that Kirby is a gifted dancer whose moves can be dangerous for the opponents. Of course has Kirby a suitable outfit ready for dancing. (To see the photos, just click the “pic” link.)
The copy ability “Festival” that was active in “Kirby Star Allies” will also appear in this work!
Dance with Minna and turn enemies into items.
moreover! When you do “something”, I dance with you!
I want to quickly dance with my friends in a festive mood!#Kirby Wii Deluxe pic.twitter.com/oE9DqalnsF— Kirby of the Stars (@Kirby_JP) January 11, 2023
A new epilogue
But just new abilities don’t justify the word “enhanced” in the enhanced remake. In the meantime, the back of the packaging has also leaked out to the public. There is a lot of information and pictures on it. One of them is the idea of “Magolor Epilogs‘, which promises an additional quest at the end of the title. Even if this is not officially confirmed yet and it can still be a fake despite the very authentic looking photo, the epilogue still sounds like an extra like it Nintendo has always done. Already in the very first Super Mario Bros. title on the NES there was an additional quest following freeing the princess. This extension of the fun following the end has since become a common thread through countless Nintendo title drawn. So we can be almost certain that the Magalor Epilogue is not a ruse.

Other innovations can also be seen on the back: the title will have a multiplayer. The packaging also advertises the “Merry Magoland Modus“. Whatever is behind this name, it should provide many hours of fun play.

Here is the trailer in which a lot is shown. Above all, you immediately notice all the innovations when you compare the title with the original Nintendo Wii version compares.

In this adventure want Kirby and his friendly enemies König Dedede, Meta Knightand Waddle Dee the alien in distress Magorole help. The trailer shows at first glance that the graphics have been revised. Kirby can fight with a sword, a whip or even a parasol. In addition, there is now the new mecha copy ability with which you can catch enemies from near and far. You can also fire lasers. Of course there are also mini-games. For example Magolores book setbut also some from previous titles like Samurai Kirby which now in Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe will happen once more. Both the main game and the mini-games can be played with up to 4 local players. All players can also be differently colored Kirby’s spielen.
