Switch Remaster of Kirby’s Return to Dream Land announced

Nintendo recently held a Direct game showcase where the console manufacturer showed off some exciting announcements including the title and release date of the Zelda Breath of the Wild sequel. Amongst this however was a smaller announcement: that of a port for the Nintendo Wii’s ‘Kirby’s Return to Dream Land.’

Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is an enhanced Switch port of the 4-player platforming Kirby adventure first released on the Nintendo Wii all the way back in 2011. Launching on the 24th of February 2023, the deluxe release has you:

“Copy enemies’ abilities and use their power to attack with a sword, wield a whip, and float with a parasol. You can also laser blast with the new Mecha Copy Ability that makes a series debut! The extra muscle will be handy in finding missing pieces for Magolor’s ship, which crash landed on Planet Popstar.”

Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe does come with a few improvements over the original release with HD visuals; a change to the art design of the game; new and returning mini-games added as well as the new aforementioned mecha copy ability.

Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe will mark the 3rd game in the franchise in 12 months, following the highly-praised Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and the lesser-enjoyed Kirby’s Dream Buffet. Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe will cost £49.99.
